Meditations using the breath

A powerful element in stress management is the practice of mindfulness – getting your head out of “worry mode” and putting your awareness on the present.

Breath awareness is a great way into mindfulness – whether it’s Box Breathing or a breath-based guided meditation audio.

My breathing based meditation

You can record yourself reading a breathing meditation – which works very well for some people. I’ve written a script for my clients, and you can click on the link to download this simple script for a BREATHING meditation – a powerful wellbeing exercise for life in general, not just stress.

Or if you prefer a different voice – and Australian accent – then you can listen to me guiding you through the 10 minute meditation on SoundCloud here.

A healthful Box Breathing meditation I also like

Box breathing is a deep breathing technique that’s a powerful stress reliever and can help manage anxiety. It’s also useful to help lower blood pressure and aid in pain or COPD management. It can be especially helpful for those with lung conditions that make breathing harder.

Here’s a YouTube video I particularly like for beginners.
