Calming

By learning how to breathe from the diaphragm, you reap the benefits of lowering your blood pressure and stress levels.

This is calming, a five-five

breathing exercise.

In this breathing exercise, we

will practice elongating the

inhale and exhale to activate our

parasympathetic nervous system, which

is responsible for rest and ease.

This lets the brain know that we are

safe and that it's okay to relax.

It's as simple as breathing in for

five seconds and out for five seconds.

Let's try it out.
