SLOWING DOWN BREATHING

calming
3 MINUTES

Exercise Instructions

Sit or lay down if possible. Close your eyes, breathing slowly into your lower belly through your nose. Start your inhales and exhales at the 3 second count, and increase the length of both as feels right in the body.

How This Somatic Exercise Works

By slowing down your breathing, you're sending a 'calm down' signal to your brain. This helps to reduce the production of stress hormones and activates your body's relaxation response.
