Mindful Mondays - the breath

The Breath 

It is always with you.  
It is an easy tool to help harness your own physiology.  
Lets take a moment to practice working with breath intentionally.  
Watch Dr Brie's first Mindful Monday on Facebook and get a new technique you can use every day to bring mindfulness with you anywhere you go.  

Controlled breathing has been shown to:

• Reduce stress 
• Increase alertness
• Boost your immune system
• Reduce symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, depression and ADHD
• Lower your cortisol (stress hormone)
• Lower your blood pressure
• Increase your parasympathetic tone (your rest and digest nervous system)
