This short & sweet breath practice first guides you to simply observe your natural flow of breath before slowing the pattern of breathing right down. An even 5-5 breath helps to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and overrides fear, stress, anxiety, or tension. As always, the breath is our anchor, our animator, and the life force that flows around us. It is vital for our life and health ad developing a relationship with the breath, its power, and influence, can change the way we live our lives. Follow as best you can, the most important part is reducing the speed & depth of the breath. Practicing this every day or any time you feel nervous or stressed allows you to take the reins on your relaxation.

Deep 5:5 Breathing
The 5-count rhythmic breath was easy to follow as a beginner to breath work and mediation. There was a measurable difference in my heart rate immediately following the exercise.
