A 12-Minute Meditation to Encourage Deep Breathing with Shamash Alidina

This week, Shamash Alidina guides us through a practice focused on the calming power of belly breathing. In our fast-paced world, stress can easily take hold, and this meditation offers a simple yet powerful way to find relaxation and ease. Belly breathing, or deep diaphragmatic breathing, encourages a full breath that engages the diaphragm and helps activate the body's relaxation response. By consciously slowing your breath and focusing on the expansion and contraction of your belly, you can send signals to your nervous system that it's safe to relax, lowering stress levels and promoting a sense of calm.
