Session 29: Stress less through breath

Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety? If so then session 29, "Stress less through breath" will help guide you through stress reduction techniques and breathing exercises, proven to increase calm and relaxation. Did you know that slowing down the breath to about 6 breaths per minute (or a 5 second inhale and a 5 second exhale AKA the "365 Method") has been shown to lower the heart rate, blood pressure, and reduce stress and anxiety. Dustin Guinee shares these insights on the latest science around the benefits of slow mindful breathing, the power of inhaling through the nose (not the mouth) and so many more practical tools that will have you forming a new relationship with your breath and feeling a greater sense of inner-peace, in the process. Meditators are guided through a meditation and then at the end Dustin shares his new poem, "Racing through Life: A Tale of the Tortoise and the Hare" a retelling of the classic Aesop's fable and what happens to the Tortoise and the Hare, many years after their legendary race. It seems simple, but bringing greater awareness to the breath is the foundation of meditation and the topics covered in this session are beneficial whether you're a beginner or have been meditating for years.
