Use this short yet powerful meditation practice to reduce stress, calm the mind, and facilitate a functional breath pattern. Great if you are feeling apprehensive pre treatment or operation, waiting for results, or anytime you may be feeling anxious or fearful. (7 minutes)

Studies have shown that breathing to a ratio of 6:6 x 5 times per minute may help to regulate the nervous system, blood pressure, heart rate and hormones, especially when practiced for 20 minutes per day. Once this 10 minute version feels easeful, then progress to the 20 minute practice.

This practice may help to bring balance to the body and mind, aiding a feeling of calm and peace. (22 minutes)

Start with the 10 minute practice first, then progress to 20 minutes. For optimum health benefits, you may practice this daily. (13 minutes)
