Also called abdominal breathing, this technique gently retrains your body to move out of shallow chest breathing and into a slower, deeper pattern that supports:

• Nervous system regulation (especially for stress, anxiety, or overwhelm)

• Improved digestion and lymphatic flow

• Grounded presence and embodied awareness

• A more efficient and relaxed breath

By placing the hands on the belly and watching the rise and fall, you begin to feel your breath from the inside out—a powerful reminder that even in uncertainty, there is something steady and rhythmic within.

This breath is especially helpful when lying down and can be a beautiful bedtime ritual, a post-yoga rest, or a midday pause to come home to yourself.

No effort. No performance. Just the honest rhythm of the breath and the body's quiet intelligence.
