Breathe…

Have you heard of a 16 seconds meditation?
- Sit, close your eyes
- Breathe in for 4 seconds
- Hold for 4 seconds
- Breathe out for seconds
- Pause for 4 seconds
That’s it. Do a few cycles. Focus on breath. Feel yourself relax
Meditation/Deep Breathing can help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, decease stress-induced cortisol levels and can help with anxiety.
When I recommend meditation to someone, it can feel like an impossible task. Start with short sessions.
All it takes is 16 seconds. Can you spare that?
LAMSA’s note: Thank you Dr Mittal for your collaboration.
