breathing-meditations

Breathing usually happens all by itself – and perhaps because of that, we sometimes forget how powerful it is.

Besides providing our body with oxygen, energy and vitality, our breath is a brilliant tool to calm both body and nervous system. Our emotions and mental state affect our breathing — but it also works the other way around.

Just breathing more consciously often makes a real difference. And when we invite the breath with intention — adjusting tempo, rhythm or depth — the breath alone can already be deeply healing and calming, for both body and mind.
