Breathing Techniques and Meditations to Calm Your Heart and Mind

If you are like millions of people, there are times when life just feels overwhelming. It’s times like this that some people look to an outside source like alcohol or drugs to help them forget about their pain and suffering. Others try to focus inward and get in touch with their spirituality to help pull them through the bumps in the road.

I subscribe to Yoga Journal Online. They have lots of helpful articles for keeping balance in your life. They have recently added an article on breathing lessons (Pranayama) and a section on Meditations that I found especially helpful during these very hectic days of my family reunion.

Slowing your breath, and breathing deeply from your abdomen helps to calm the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Meditation can help still the mind and bring you into the present moment.
