The breath in mindfulness
I love mindfulness and meditation in daily activities. One of my favorite mindfulness practices centers around breathwork. I've done a dozen or so Breathwork Ceremonies with hundreds of others online but I'm curious to know what works for you in a daily awareness practice? I'm looking forward to hearing how you all consciously breathe!

Considering my username I doubt it will any surprise to hear that I combine mindfulness of breath during my daily runs, in through the nose deep into the chest and out through the mouth, principle benefit from a running perspective is it helps avoid hyperventilating.

I like keeping it simple. Sometimes I just take a few slow breaths in the morning before checking my phone, paying attention to how the air feels instead of thinking about what I need to do that day. I also find gratitude prompts and short mindfulness reminders helpful for staying present. It does not have to be a long meditation session; even a couple of quiet minutes can make a difference.
