Moving Breath (particularly great for those with ADHD)

In today's video, I walk you step by step through the Body Breath Meditation. This is a powerful visualization, because it combines a variety of the breathing techniques we been learning in this series to address multiple trauma symptoms, such as interoception, diaphragmatic breathing, right hemisphere activation, and positive emotion induction.
Get comfy and enjoy!

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!

5-5-8-2 Breath: The Power of Exhalation

Did you know that throughout your day, each nostril "takes turns being open or stuffy, and this is related to brain activity"?!
In this Balanced Brain Breath practice, we balance activation of the two hemispheres of the brain by alternating breathing through one nostril at a time.
Try it out!
