Deep Breathing

Our breath is one of our most powerful allies. It is always there, constant, reliable, life giving, and life sustaining. Not only does it give us life, when used intentionally, it can activate the vagus nerve, which activates the parasympathetic nervous system to disrupt the stress response. If the weight of the stressors in your life seems unimaginably heavy, turn to your breath. Let it do for you what it is meant to do, bringing you peace, rest, relaxation, and calmness. Please find a quiet private place to participate, where you can be present without risk of interruptions or distractions.
