Heart-Focused breathing techniques are a simple, yet powerful way to reduce stress, anxiety, help you sleep better, eat better and generally allow your body to heal and process emotions easier. It helps you regulate your nervous system, and helping you lower fight and flight responses.
When you practice the breathing techniques, it trains your brain to stay in the present moment. Even as little as 5 minutes a day can help you stay present and to love in the moment, rather than thinking about the past or future all the time.

You can do it throughout the day, when you wake up in the morning, when you are eating, walking, relaxing in the evenings and going to sleep. By doing this, you make it a part of your day and you will feel calmer, and more in control of your life. The more you practice this beautiful breathing technique, the more you will find yourself doing it naturally all the time.
Try this simple technique as much as possible throughout the day.
