Good Practice for Calm and Stress
This is a nice meditation for one experiencing anxiety, or for one that just needs to slow down from a stressful day. This practice had a slight pause in between the in breath and out breath which is great for calming the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) thereby activating the parasympathetic branch. This process helps my ANS to slow down, along with those pesky anxiety or stress symptoms. I appreciate how this instructor gradually went up on both the in breath and out breath, keeping them at the same level for much of the meditation. To me, this is a more efficient practice than having a short in breath and longer out breath (i.e. 4-7-8 breath practice). Why? The meditator is not focused on breathing in enough air to pause, and then, have an extensive out breath. I will definitely come back to this one!

When you're stressed to the max.
This session is very great to use whenever you're under maximum of stress from work, person issues, school or even life itself. Sometimes during the day we all do need take a breather to release out the stress and tension.

My breath is always there for me, no matter what. It's always an anchor.

I can always count on my breath
It's comforting to know that, no matter where I am or how I'm feeling, I can always rely on my breath to bring me back to a grounded and centered place.

When in doubt take a deep breathe and try and relax. I have a lot on my shoulders from present worries, friendships and commitment such as uni are draining me and the pending thought of being jobless and helpless. Iโ€™m so stressed that some times I forget to breathe

Self awareness
Self conscious is crucial for self esteem.. time can reveal possibilities and having time for yourself gives the sense of that awareness you need to create.. indulge more and fill in the gaps ... Give yourself to imagination ...Breathe.. every breath count .. no matter how hard and stressful your life is... you always have your breath...
