4-7-8 breathing technique 😯😀

.

I have a confession. Sometimes I have a really, REALLY hard time getting acupuncture πŸ˜• It’s hard to just lay there, not doing anything. My brain is so wired to constantly do something even at rest. πŸ’—

I have found that the 4-7-8 breathing technique has helped me tremendously! ✨Not only does it help me get into the acupuncture zone, but it helps me when I’m stuck in traffic, annoyed in a long line at the post office, and even to help me fall asleep. I especially love this mini meditation when I’m literally pinned down on the acupuncture table. πŸ“

This technique helps provide the lungs with more oxygen, relax the beta waves in the brain, and helps the β€œrest and digest” of the parasympathetic system. .
