Free Breathing Masterclass Series (Part 2) Calm Breathing

How's it going after giving Balance Breathing a try last week? Feeling the benefits yet?

Today, let's dive into another essential technique: Calm Breathing.

Calm Breathing, also known as Down-Regulating Breathing, is your ticket to calming the storm within.

When you slow your breath to less than 4 breaths per minute, it's like flipping a switch for your parasympathetic nervous system—the ultimate chill mode.

Your heart rate drops, your muscles relax, and digestion gets a boost.

Perfect for winding down after a long day, especially right before going to bed.

But hey, a word of caution: Calm Breathing is so relaxing that it might just lull you to sleep. So, make sure you're comfortably seated or lying down and not behind the wheel or in the middle of something important.

How To Practice Calm Breathing?

Here's your roadmap for mastering Calm Breathing:

Find a cozy spot to sit (on your meditation cushion) or lie down (on your yoga mat).

Inhale through your nose for 1-2-3-4-5

Hold for a count of 1-2-3-4-5

Exhale through your nose for 5-4-3-2-1.

Hold for a count of 5-4-3-2-1.

Repeat for at least 10 rounds (about 10 minutes).

Remember, this practice is all about relaxation, so take it easy and enjoy the calm vibes.

Keep exploring these techniques and let us know how they're working for you!
