Focusing on YOUR Breath Meditation
This Focusing on your Breath Meditation has vocal reminders to bring you back to focusing on your breath at 5 minute intervals and goes for 55 minutes in total.
Breathing into your lower abdomen and focusing on your breathing naturally calms down your sympathetic nervous system and aids you to become parasympathetic dominate. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are part of the autonomic (or automatic) nervous system that controls your blood pressure, body temperature, hunger and thirst, heart rate and blood sugar levels. Basically, the autonomic nervous system takes care of the basic housekeeping of your body.
The sympathetic nervous system focuses on stress, protection, fight, flight and freeze. The parasympathetic focus is digestion of food, assimilation of nutrients, sleep, healing and repair of the body. Focusing on your Breath meditations gently bring you out of a sympathetic nervous system state into a parasympathetic dominant state.
As you continue repeat this type of meditation you are naturally able to shift faster and more easily from the sympathetic to the parasympathetic state. Eventually when you begin a Focusing on your Breath Meditation you are instantly in a parasympathetic dominant state, aiding your body to heal, repair, regenerate and rejuvenate.
