Meditation Breathing -- An Ancient Stress Reliever

Practitioners consider meditation breathing to be only a preliminary stage in meditation. However, it can be a powerful and effective way to calm the mind and reduce stress. People from all over the world have practiced meditation breathing for thousands of years.

Meditation breathing has several proven benefits. Breathing and heart rate slow down, blood pressure normalizes and perspiration reduces during meditation breathing. Even a short session of just a few minutes produces beneficial results.

Before you begin meditation breathing, find a quiet place to practice (although experienced practitioners can do it virtually anywhere). Sit in a comfortable position and keep your eyes closed throughout. Keep your back straight to remain alert and avoid feeling tired.

Breathe naturally without trying to control your breathing, preferably through the nose rather than the mouth. Focus entirely on your breath as it enters and leaves your nostrils. If unwanted thoughts enter your mind, ignore them and concentrate on breathing.

Effective meditation breathing can become a vital and enjoyable part of your daily routine, while offering health benefits for body and mind.
