Breathing Meditation — A Guided Meditation

This guided meditation is from www.quietmindcafe.com and is one part of a three-part relaxation and stress management system. Use this sympathetic breathing guided meditation for profound relaxation and stress relief. This breathing technique calms and balances the autonomic nervous system, which is your fight or flight response. This breathing technique will boost your immune system and suppress cortisol which is a hormone responsible for rapid aging. For a complete relaxation practice use Simple Relaxation to relax the muscles of the body and the somatic nervous system. Use Quiet Mind to restore the experience of calm and balance to the mind and central nervous system. Finally, use Sympathetic Breathing to restore profound relaxation to the heart and autonomic nervous system — your fight or flight response. Together these three practices form a profound relaxation system that is essential for any stress management or stress relief practice.

    very relaxing. I lost the feeling in my arms and legs i was so relaxed. thank you for posting this.

  4. QuietMindCafe says:

    @stargatefansg1 This loss of feeling in the arms and legs is your sensory currents withdrawing from those parts of the body. This is simply means you are very absorbed in the guided meditation. As you probably noticed the feeling returns very quickly.

    so, i should breath in through my mouth not my nose?

  6. ScottGaul says:

    @pieMUSIC Breathing through your nose is probably more comfortable. I say to keep the, “throat open”. This is a more relaxed way too breathed. You would be surprised at how frequently we close our throat and hold our breath — this causes tension. Try getting out of a chair or picking something up off the floor it without closing your throat and holding your breath. It’s not easy at first. Thanks for the question.

    @pieMUSIC With this breathing practice you can breathe either through your nose or your mouth. Both work equally as well.

    Cell Guard Advanced Antioxidant Enzymes Free radicals are unstable molecules which steal electrons from other molecules and disrupt healthy cell function. During this disruptive process, they create new free radicals and initiate chain reactions of cell damage. Some free radicals are formed as a by product of our normal cellular metabolism. Others are used by our white blood cells to destroy dangerous substances in a very selective manner. Recognizing the potential danger of uncontrolled free radicals, nature has armed our immune system with the powerful built in protection of ANTIOXIDANT ENZYMES. These enzymes maintain cellular balance by stopping free radical chain reactions before they are out of control. Cell Guard provides the most potent and comprehensive antioxidant enzyme nutrition available. Suggested Use Suggested Dosage We recommend starting with 5 tablets per day upon

    That's particularly unsettling when I think of the aspects of human health that are influenced by breathing technique and capacity. Of course, we need air to live, but not getting enough air affects cardiovascular health, mood, alertness, stress management and even the proper coordination of movement in the body – they're all keyed to the breath in many systems that offer insights on good health (yoga and pilates especially come to mind).

    You could go to the doctors and talk to them.. this normal.. most people get nervous during like exams (like me) but it get hard to breath or anything.. talk to a doctor about this and they will recommend someone to talk to.. (psychologist) who can help you fix these problems..

    Just think though.. you are getting nervous over what? Know body is looking at you or staring.. not only you in the class that is quiet.. there are 20 other students who are also sitting in their seat with complete silence around them.. there are probably some who get a little nervous when it goes quiet for exams to.. so there is nothing to worry about you the only one who gets nervous over stuff like that.. you are just thinking and worrying about it to much and stressing yourself out with is causing these situations to get worse and evolve into a full blown anxiety attack.. but everyone is also sitting n silence to and even notice you.. they are just doing there work just like you are..
