It's time to dive "deep" into deep breathing and explore the transformative practice through mindfulness and meditation. Discover how the position of your body can influence the quality of your breath and enhance your relaxation and well-being.


In this episode, Beth guides you through various body postures—sitting up straight, lying down, hunching over, and standing—and explains how each position affects your breathing. Learn the difference between "deep breathing" for relaxation and the "survival breathing" we do naturally, and find out how to shift from a state of mild stress to a state of calm and presence.


Join me for a self-discovery experiment as you try different postures and notice how your breath changes. This journey will help you identify the most natural and effective posture for your meditation practice, allowing you to breathe deeply and mindfully.


What You’ll Learn:

- The impact of body posture on deep breathing

- The difference between deep breathing and survival breathing

- How to find the best posture for your mindful breathing practice

- Tips for integrating mindful deep breathing into your daily routine
