4 - 7 - 8 Breathing Technique
4-7-8 breathing technique π―π€
.
I have a confession. Sometimes I have a really, REALLY hard time getting acupuncture π Itβs hard to just lay there, not doing anything. My brain is so wired to constantly do something even at rest. π
I have found that the 4-7-8 breathing technique has helped me tremendously! β¨Not only does it help me get into the acupuncture zone, but it helps me when Iβm 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 Iβm literally pinned down on the acupuncture table. π
This technique helps provide the lungs with more oxygen, relax the beta waves in the brain, and helps the βrest and digestβ of the parasympathetic system. .
