MINDFUL BREATHING
Studies show that a breath rate of 6 breaths per minute is ideal, or about 5 seconds in, 5 seconds out.
Breathing Benefits:
* releases stress
* improves low mood
* clears & calm the mind
HOW TO BREATHE
Sit comfortably and raise your rib cage to expand your chest. Place one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen. Take notice of how your upper chest and abdomen are moving while you breathe. Concentrate on your breath and try to gently breathe in and out through the nose.
Your upper chest and stomach should be still, allowing the diaphragm to work more efficiently with your abdomen rather than your chest.
With each breath, allow any tension in your body to slip away. Once you are breathing slowly and with your abdomen, sit quietly and enjoy the sensation of physical relaxation.
