05 Deep Belly Breathing Meditation for Anxiety and Stress




Meditation Minis Podcast show

Summary: If you suffer from anxiety or stress you will find this meditation VERY helpful. Why? Because when we are anxious or stressed out we rarely, if ever, breathe deeply. Instead we tend to shallow-breathe up into our shoulders and chest ... which "tells" our mind we are anxious, scared, or stressed. By changing your breathing you change the message your body is sending to your mind - causing you to actually FEEL less stressed or anxious. As a previous panic attack and generalized anxiety sufferer I know from personal experience this deep belly breathing meditation for anxiety works really, really well!
