Pranayama — The Power of Deep Breathing 👃 😮‍💨

This breathing exercise is amazing — what we know for sure is that our breath is available to us at any moment. Taking deep breaths can help minimize our anxiety, stress, anger, sadness — supporting all types of emotions.

Today we're going to practice that 4—7—8 breathing exercise. This breathing exercise can help slow down our heart rate and lower our blood pressure. I invite you to make yourself comfortable by sitting or laying down. You can close your eyes if you're comfortable with that.

➡️ We're going to start with just a deep releasing breath in... and a breath out. Every deep breath helps you to relax more. 
4️⃣ Now, close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of four. 
7️⃣ Hold your breath for a count of seven. 
8️⃣ Then exhale completely through your mouth to a count of eight. 

Repeat this three more times at your pace. Then, release the technique and go back to your normal breathing.
You can practice this breath two times a day, if you feel the need to bring down anxiety, or to find a moment of calm in a busy day. 

Thank you for spending a few moments of your day with me. Please let me know what you think of this breathing exercise. I honor that light in your. ✨
