Feeling overwhelmed or frazzled? Give belly breathing a try. Belly breathing, or diaphragmatic breathing, is an powerful tool for helping you feel calmer and less anxious by activating the relaxation response. Consistent practice can help reduce stress and promote relaxation while also lowering blood pressure, reduce body tension and sharpens your focus. Belly breathing is a great beginners practice for those interested in breathwork. How to practice belly breathing: 1️⃣Find a comfy + quiet spot to sit tall or lie comfortably. 2️⃣Place one hand on your lower belly and one hand on your chest. 3️⃣Breathe in slowly through your nose, letting your belly expand + rise as you fill your lungs with air. 4️⃣Exhale slowly through your mouth letting your belly fall. 5️⃣Repeat for several minutes gradually extending the duration of your inhales and exhales. Return to your natural breath afterwards. Want to learn more about breathwork? Check out my recent blog post with 3 breathwork (pranayama) techniques for beginners.
