A Short Breathing Exercise For Times Of Anger Or Anxiety

Hello,

Insight Timer and followers.

My name is Sarah and thank you for joining me on this short meditation for relaxation in times of anxiety,

Stress,

Or anger.

A lot of times when we have these feelings,

We forget to breathe and this is just a gentle reminder to do so.

Get into a comfortable position whether it's on a chair or on the floor,

Just making sure you have a straight spine and some form of contact to the floor.

We are going to do some deep breathing and I'm going to demonstrate the breath right now.

We're going to inhale for 4 and exhale for 7.

So this is what it sounds like.

So start by closing your eyes and just falling into your seat and start to take your deep inhales in with the exhale being longer than the inhale.

And you can follow with me as I count.

And breathe in for 4,

Exhale 7,

Thank you for joining me on this very short relaxation,

Meditation and breathing exercise.

I hope your day gets better.
