Mindful Mondays - Breath-work Exercise: Straw Breathing

11/23/2020

​Happy Mindful Monday, Phoenixes! This week we'll be focusing on breath-work. When you're stressed out, you tend to take quick, shallow breaths. This affects your nervous system, your emotions, and how well your brain functions. Do this breath-work activity to help slow things down so you can feel calmer and more focused.

​Listen to your body... if you feel light-headed, take a break! If you are a person who meditates or prays, I recommend spending a few moments in stillness after this activity... enjoy the peaceful environment you've created within!⁠
 
Breath-work exercise: Straw Breathing
  • Sit or lie down, and get comfortable.
  • Close your eyes and slow your breathing.
  • Inhale deeply through your nose, filling your diaphragm with air so your belly rises.
  • Purse your lips together in a small “o” as if you have a straw in your mouth.
  • Exhale through your mouth, putting pressure behind the breath as if you are blowing through a straw.
  • Repeat for a total of 10 breaths.
