This simple breath technique of gently extending the exhale can help quiet the mind and activate the relaxation response in the body. Often in a state of stress or emotional disturbance, we hold our breath, so intentionally extending the exhale counters breath-holding and invites the body to calm down.

I learned that if you meditate it will take everything off your mind
I learned that if do meditation they say meditation is an excellent thing because it helps you stay calm and quiet and I love the way it has been set up with the people I love the way the people they to help you relax I like the music and & the way that it’s put together they try to help you do the instructions and I like the way that you can ignore what’s on your mind or what is happening around you I love to meditate and I feel calm once I get done with meditation and I feel like I am just really relaxed positive thoughts are hitting me like a hurricane I love this app
