Mindfulness Course - Day 3
In this meditation, you’ll use intentional breathwork to engage your vagus nerve, a key part of the nervous system that helps regulate stress and emotional balance. By slowing your breath and deepening your inhalations and exhalations, you activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting calm and relaxation. This practice enhances self-awareness by creating a sense of grounding and clarity, allowing you to better recognize your emotional and physical needs for balance and well-being.
