Mindfulness Daily Check-In May 10-12, 2024

Hello everyone in the Mindfulness Community! 😊 How was your week?

Today, I like to share with you a breathing exercise called "The Mindful Sigh". Here is goes 

• Sit in a comfortable position - notice how you feel right now
• Take a deep, long inhale through your nose for five seconds and hold.
• Take another quick inhale for one second and hold for three seconds.
• Sigh a slow, long exhale through your mouth for six seconds.
• Repeat the cycle three times.

Longer exhales cause the vagus nerve to send a signal to your brain,  activating the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) and easing the sympathetic nervous system (fight, flight, or freeze)
