Breath

Breathing is one of the most common tools for calming the mind thus science increasingly supports its effectiveness. When stress hits, the body’s nervous system shifts into high alert, speeding up the breath and heart rate. Slow, intentional breathing reverses this response. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which signals the body to slow down and relax. With each steady inhale and extended exhale, muscles soften and mental noise quiets. Mindfulness practitioners emphasize breathing because it brings attention in the now and present moment. In a fast paced world, returning to the breath offers a simple, way to restore balance and emotional clarity. Choose below a breathing technique more suitable to your needs:
