Body Breath Meditation

Did you know that extending exhalations leads to "longer parasympathetic (relaxation response) activation? Well indeed it does --- and that's a helpful thing to know, because that means we can use prolonged exhalation to help ground and self-soothe.
Follow along and practice this 5-5-8-2 Breath technique and see if you notice a difference when you slow down your exhale!
