Relaxation Breathing

Relaxation breathing is a simple but powerful way to bring calmness to both the mind and body. It involves purposefully engaging in relaxation breathing and attentively directing your focus on the sensation of your breath. The act of breathing can soothe the mind and body, while concentrating on your breath can keep you grounded. It's essential to assign your mind the task of focusing on your breath to prevent it from wandering off into "anxiety land”  while you try to relax. Are you ready to give it a try?
