I recommend you listen to these first on my channel before advancing to this video.This meditation guides you through deep belly breathing, calming the vagus nerve by breathing out longer on the exhalation than when you breathe in for your inhalation.The meditation then incorporates simple words to anchor your awareness, inviting you to enjoy the simplicity of this exercise, and surrendering to the waves of relaxation that is being cultivated.You'll practice breathing out the past through your exhalation, and breathing your present moment in through your inhalation. This meditation reminds us of the present moment and uses the exhalation to let go, forgive, remove and forget everything else that happened up until this moment of your current breath.~~~To keep in touch and learn more about mindfulness, emotional wellness and living a life of courage, authenticity and self-love. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabriella.de.mori/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gabriellademoricounselling/ Website: www.gabriellademori.com Mindfully,GabriellaRegistered Counsellor & Meditation Coachwww.gabriellademori.com

Diaphragmatic breathing creates that deep sedative effect we all crave through meditation, yet it is rarely correctly taught. If you have tried meditation before yet can't seem to relax, it's likely because you're not engaging proper diaphragmatic breathing which I believe is the most important aspect of meditation to master so that you can feel the relaxation you crave. Usually, as we rush through life, our breath becomes short, sharp and very restricted. We rarely take in the necessary breaths to oxygenate and refresh our bodies which causes stress, anxiety and panic in our body. By practising proper diaphragmatic breathing you will give your body the important message to relax and settle, rather than often being on the edge of anxiety and stress.✨ If you love this meditation, you'll especially love... ✨This powerful guide is the first meditation in a five part 'Nourishing Breath Meditation Collection' I created that will coach you through simple yet relaxing meditations that focuses on proper diaphragmatic breathing. The meditations provide gentle guidance towards deepening your understanding and experience of diaphragmatic breathing through experimenting with different focal points and exercises. Each meditation in the collection builds on from the last, so that you master five transformational breath-focused meditations that will help you settle and soothe your stress or anxiety immediately. This collection is perfect for meditation beginners, or those seeking to return to a simple and powerful practice. By completing the collection, you'll be able to confidently use five different strategies to nourish and calm your body and mind.Explore the 'Nourishing Breath Meditation Collection' here or here https://courses.gabriellademori.com/nourishing-breath-collection~~~To keep in touch and learn more about mindfulness, emotional wellness and living a life of courage, authenticity and self-love. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabriella.de.mori/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gabriellademoricounselling/ Website: www.gabriellademori.com Mindfully,GabriellaRegistered Counsellor & Meditation Coachwww.gabriellademori.com
