5 in, 7 out
When getting worried and stressed one minor issue can ruin my whole day and take over. If I allow 3 minutes to practice this breathing technique I can calm myself to enable the rest of the day to be unhindered.

Nice and relaxing.
I felt very relaxed and in just 3 minutes. I will use this method if something or someone has pushed me off track, to enable me to move on and forget.

Evening calm
I learnt that this practise can help me to relax and release the stresses of the day. When I did this today, it helped me decompress from the day and enabled me to enjoy my evening in a really peaceful way!

 I Learned that if you’re worried about something just take a deep breath in and a deep breath out and it will release from your mind.

Stress
With all that is going on in the world, it’s hard not to stress. This meditation really helped me control my breathing and make me feel more calm.

Meh
I have a hard time focusing on the breathing. My mind goes elsewhere.

The start of the meditation was a lot of words - very repetitive and distracting
The instruction was out of sequence - on one hand advising very slow in breath and much slower out breath while the words from the instructor seemed at twice TG EC pace my breath was at so found myself racing to catch up??

Wave of Emotion released.
At first I had the “I don’t want to do this” reaction coupled with that internal itchy scratchy sensation. However I persevered through it and gently told myself to try to keep going. I did and then I felt my body and I had tension in my neck. Next thing I know I felt a wave of emotion well up inside me like a wave and then it released and I had tears in my eyes. It took a couple of breaths to fully let that pent up emotion go. However it did leave me. In all honesty I do not know if I feel better in myself. However I do not have the tension in my neck anymore.

Relax
We heal when we are relaxed, take deep long breaths, practice soft belly breathing- ways to communicate with our body through breathing

Day one
I learned that depending on different situations throughout the day I need to be aware of how I allow things to affect my mood. The breathing did help calm my nerves.

A good reminder...
I forget to breathe deep when very anxious, so this was a good reminder.

Stressed
I have learned that I need a break to take care of myself and reflect on my day. My stress has caused so much anxiety and heartache. I am unable to perform my task with my kids.

Calming breaths
I learned that our bodies heal best when we are relaxed. If we are worried about being sick we will get better slower.

I like learning these breathing techniques. I like to practice them as much as I can throughout my day. I want to learn which breathing techniques have which benefits for you

Calming your nerves
Instantly felt much calmer and relaxed after doing this breathing technique. Easy to follow and really helped me. I will be using this technique whenever I start to feel anxious.

First time I tried this type of breathing meditation
In my prior meditations focus was placed on clearing my mind... and so while there was the counting of breath, there wasn’t an emphasis on the quality of breath, but more of an observation. It’s a nice tool to add to my toolbox.

Stress
I’ve felt more relaxed after the session. I realize that this is not going to be an overnight fix, but that I will get to where I want to be in time. I need to make sure that I’m putting myself fist at times, and that’s ok.

Panic attack soother
Helps take the edge off the panic attack. The feeling in my chest and stomach is less intense. The slow breathing helps my body settle.

Breathing slow and releasing the breath calms me down
Take the time to breath slowly and try to get the thoughts out of my mind

This meditation didn't work for me. Too short maybe for what I needed.

Meditation
I need to practice a lot. When meditating, I cannot shutdown mi inner dialogue, my inner voice, I try hard to do it for feelings and thoughts keep coming even if I mentally try to go to my self place.

I felt hurt I felt unwanted I felt insecure I felt unnoticed... I cried I breathe in and I breathe out it was calming but I couldn't shut down my thoughts. The entire time I thought of my kids & trama
I couldn't shake the thoughts I couldn't clear my mind from all the things that hurt me that are destroying me and what makes me feel as low as I feel today. I am looking at myself as a complete failure. So I may just have to continue practicing and maybe I will learn the true meaning of meditation
