BREATHING PRACTICES
BREATHING PRACTICES
Breath is one of the fastest ways to shift the body and mind into a calmer state.
You cannot always control what happens around you, but you can often return to one thing:
a slower, steadier breath.
Breathing practices can support:
calm attention and reduced inner noise
recovery after stress
focus before work or prayer
emotional grounding during difficult moments
A gentle starting practice (2–3 minutes)
inhale through the nose (quietly)
exhale slowly (slightly longer than the inhale)
keep shoulders relaxed and jaw soft
repeat without forcing the breath
The goal is not to “do it perfectly.”
The goal is to create space inside the body.
Over time, simple breath habits become a daily anchor—quiet, steady, and always available.
(If you feel dizzy or anxious, return to natural breathing and slow down. Breath should feel safe.)
