Deep Breathing
For centuries, cultures all over the world have used deep breathing as a way to reduce tension of both body and mind.
Deep breathing sends a message to the brain to relax, and when this signal from the brain is forwarded to the rest of the body, the negative symptoms of stress—increased heart rate, rapid breaths, high blood pressure—are replaced with a sense of calm.
