I really appreciate how calm, straightforward, and practical this meditation is. I'm not a fan of the woo woo type meditations out there so I'm so grateful to have stumbled across this.
Andrew Ikhelson I’m assuming she means meditations focused on spirituality/the universe/Mother Earth type associations. As someone who DOES practice meditations such as these I do often get called “woo woo” (which I take no offense to, I don’t really care).
Andrew Ikhelson Absolutely! The actual definition of the term is, “relating to or holding unconventional beliefs regarded as having little or no scientific basis, especially those relating to spirituality, mysticism, or alternative medicine”. Hope that helps!!!
This is how we develop, strengthen, root and ground ourselves in our breath, mind, & body and in the present moment. Return to the breath, observe thoughts AND feelings, and without judging them, let them go, bringing the attention back to the breath. Truly amazing! Great reminders!! And yes, I too love how she guides us!
This is the first breathing meditation I've been able to finish because I felt like you described what to do in a way I could imagine, so i could find a path for my attitude towards the breath. I wasn't stuck overthinking how I was breathing. Really helped my gastritis in my upper abdomen, thank you
This is one of the best meditations for diaphragmatic breathing. I love how you encourage people to use their senses and to really feel their feelings. That is so encouraging.
There are many factors in studying Reiki. One place I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Briona reiki plan (google it if you're interested) definately the most useful idea i've heard of. look at the website BrionaReikiPlan.review and great testimonials.
I was really struggling with focusing more on the exhale vs the inhale but appreciated the challenge because it made me give up trying to control my breathing if that’s makes sense. Really looking forward to using this video with my anxiety. So nice to know I’m not alone, thank you very much.🥺❤️
I felt calm after because I was taking my kids to school and rushed and felt HORRIBLE. I did my daily meditation 🧘♀️ and felt amazing after!!! Thank you, lots I am commenting on my kids account never mind
I know this isn’t what the video is for but it’s so calming that I use it to get rid of hiccups and your voice is my favorite ever cause it brings me out of terrible hiccup bouts.
It has been about two years since I have been learning Buddha's teachings and other sources of body, mind, and I. This lady knows great enough. Give your body and mind to her, she knows what to do. Thanks for the great video
I was feeling out of breath and wow this exercise really calmed me down. i had tried others but have not been that successful like this one. Thank you for thinking on people who are going through anxiety or panic attacks. God bless you all.
I’ve been suffering from chronic respiratory issues from long haul covid for months. There are some days when no medicine or strategies work except for this video. I have probably used it about 100 times to reset my breathing.
If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath. Full moment by moment awareness of your long slow deep breath ❤❤❤❤❤
I am proud that I am meditating again with this 12 minute video not because I worry and panicking but because I want to practice even my brain is calm. Will stick to this everday.
I felt a panic attack coming on, my chest was burning and my mind was racing- i saw something that upset me. I overdosed a week ago and practiced meditation as part of my treatment. This video really helped me, thank you.
I found myself truly relaxed which is very unusual. Half way through breathing something twisted inside the diafragm and it kind of cleared my head. I have terrible neck pain and digestion problems. This was a very gentle effective meditation! Big big thank you!
This is among the best guided breathing practices I've listened to. I think that it is because the anger / aggression feelings are addressed while she returns attention to the breath.
I’ve been doing yoga for a year thinking I understood diaphragmatic breathing…I just learned today!! best video I’ve seen for a beginner to understand the action of diaphragmatic breaths. Thank you so much!! ❤
This technique is so underrated guys. I have been doing this for a while now and I can speak to just how beneficial it is in day to day life. Cannot recommend enough.
Thank you. I'm in the third trimester and my heart rate and blood pressure was a little higher than usual. Your voice alone was soothing and the guidance was a bonus ❤️
@@JohnDoe-tt4fm Its ok. Meditation is very personal, not everybody likes the same thing. I wasn't vibing with it either (wasn't making me clam) so just wanted to get to know more about the diaphragm breathing technique.
I’ve been doing this for two things since I was young, and I’m an 89 behbeh. One for getting rid of weird morning headaches while focusing on one area of the ceiling with my back and neck in the right way, and the other for hiccups. If you guys get hiccups you “can’t get rid of”, stop and go to a quiet room and focus on your breath. Almost like your trying to trick yourself when a hiccup comes. Don’t let the hiccup come. Breathe so deliberately and carefully that you block that stupid hiccup. Youll realize after a little bit of doing this that your hiccup burst has subsided and you’ll come back to reality and they aren’t there. I make friends do this when they’re drinking and it works. Really feel every breath and focus on the in and the out and do it deeply until you fell it coming then change your breathing.Those stupid ass hiccups will go eff themselves in no time. It’s all in concentrating on breath and relaxing. Duh Morty, didn’t They teach you that in school.
"The mind becomes aggressive demanding attention is a huge line for me. I've been so dishearten in the past because of this. The better understanding is a gift.
The beginning sounds like you are overtly provoking anxiety... "You are probably lying there rehashing all the arguments of the past week while imagining your entire family is trapped in a burning building... Now relax ..."
Kurt Klingbeil I totally hear what you’re saying but I think the idea of that part of the meditation is preparation for resistance from the mind during meditation (i.e. notice the thoughts and refocus on the breath). I agree - it is difficult not to notice/respond to the actual content of the thoughts... this is super challenging for me too, especially when I am feeling triggered by anxiety 🙏🌿
If somebody gets nervous at the begining of a meditation or yoga practice, maybe is because he begins being aware of himself and his bullshit. Keep practicing, get used to that bullshit, the cleaning proces beggins. Many of us say, meditating gets me nervous, but in fact we are begining to be aware of how nervous we had been all the time. As a teacher I did this in class, a few get very annoyed at the beggining but had great benefit after some practice. Some even shake in the chair.
Being homeless in this hotel room which I’m greatful to have a nice room but can barely pay it n no longer having my kids every day plus my cycle on plus a sore throat the anxiety just took a toll on me while driving I really needed this to feel better thanks
These excercise we are advised to do.at uni to help our anxiety. It helps , bit makes.me not in the mood to work haha. Thank you. I was advised to do this by wellbeing and now I'm looking into it to do in my free time too. Thank you for this video.
The Breath of Life. I am the resurrection and the Life of all that is good all that is Holy and all that is Beautiful. I AM the ASCENSION and the LIGHT Now and Forever, Now and Forever. So be it, so it is, it is done.
Should I breathe normally or in through nose out through mouth? I’ve been meditating for many months now using the nose/mouth but have to control my breathing to do so. Recently I’ve questioned if I’m doing it right so I’ve been doing some research and some people say breathe normally (which for me is through my nose) and just pay attention to it, or the tip of my nose or something. Either way I find it hard to watch without controlling, but now that I’m trying the normal breathing, I keep falling asleep. Any advice? Also - When people say pay attention to the sensations like the feeling or air going through my nose, should I only focus on one sensation or all sensations? I ask because it seems like if I’m going from paying attention to my chest, to my stomach, to my nose, to my throat, to my upper lip, etc. that I’m just allowing my mind to wander.
I like this short and simple breathing exercise. It helps my body transition from being half awake to fully awake and energized in the morning. I am comfortable with her voice. I have tried a dozen morning meditation videos, and I am sticking to this one every morning now.
I think that body jerking and heartbeat rhythm are clear indicators of how much your body is vibrating constantly at all times, and in this meditative state your body is not used to breathing such a calm way, it is foreign. The point of breathing rhythmically like this, is like tuning a guitar, and your body is the guitar, and your many organs are the strings. I try to think of my favorite things when I meditate, I use my breathing like a thing to gaze at like the floating dust by the window on a sunny morning, and simply think. I watch my thoughts like a little person watching a movie, and I try to not judge the movie, because that movie is my life, I simply want to keep watching without any distraction!:) Hope that helps your understanding of why meditation helps people. Some just need to tune more strings, and it can be quite uncomfortable at times, because of how out of tune you may be. But just give yourself to it, it will be so worth it in the end
Nice delivery without annoying music. Her steady direct talking thru it is v helpful for the wandering mind
Agree.
Very good 😮@@wakeupuk3860

Hhhimh en 8hhhhomhhhh
It's crazy how struggling it can be to just breathe. This is relaxing and helpful. I prefer this over yoga
It's even more needed at this time. I'm glad I found this video. This Covid-19 pandimic is draining physically, mentally and emotionally.
Meditation is an aspect of yoga. Just the stretching part is more mainstream.

Good to hear! I'll have to try this with my panic attacks.

This is happy news 😀😉
Best ever introduction to breathing and meditation that I've seen on RUclips.
This is the first breathing meditation I've been able to finish because I felt like you described what to do in a way I could imagine, so i could find a path for my attitude towards the breath. I wasn't stuck overthinking how I was breathing. Really helped my gastritis in my upper abdomen, thank you
same here! I had very strong upper abdomen pain and doing this daily has helped SO much. Thank you for giving us these tools!!
i’ve watched this video probably around 50 times now. it helps so much
This is one of the best meditations for diaphragmatic breathing. I love how you encourage people to use their senses and to really feel their feelings. That is so encouraging.
Stress and anger is something I cope with every single day. While I regularly breathe slowly already, this is very helpful! Thank you.
"Then slowly open the eyes..."
I waited for further instructions for about a minute.
Turns out the video is over. Lmao
I did the same. Lol
Ahahahah same another video started, and I was so confused

I just laid their like 👁👄👁
Yes 🤣
Immediately took such a refreshing deep breath once I sat up. God bless whoever made this, you’re awesome. Chronic HVS from anxiety can be a pain.
Adulting is hard so thanks for this
I've been studying reiki healing and found a great resource at Remarkable Reiki Expert (check it out on google)
Love this comment
You are not adulting. You are kidding. See what I did there.
Very
Teenaging is hard too
I was really struggling with focusing more on the exhale vs the inhale but appreciated the challenge because it made me give up trying to control my breathing if that’s makes sense. Really looking forward to using this video with my anxiety. So nice to know I’m not alone, thank you very much.🥺❤️
One of the best guided meditations I've done. Simple and straightforward, no distracting music as well.
I felt calm after because I was taking my kids to school and rushed and felt HORRIBLE. I did my daily meditation 🧘♀️ and felt amazing after!!! Thank you, lots
I am commenting on my kids account never mind
Teach your kids! I wish my parents taught me these techniques years ago
@@andreshackleton8286 0
Fckkk Yes KEEP MEDITATING !❤BLESSINGS
This is amazing for my scary anxiety attacks!! Thank you
Did this before an interview and it helped calm me sooo much. Thank you!
I know this isn’t what the video is for but it’s so calming that I use it to get rid of hiccups and your voice is my favorite ever cause it brings me out of terrible hiccup bouts.
It makes perfect sense because hiccups are caused by diaphragm spasms
What a wonderful gift you have given us 🙏🏻 thank you
It has been about two years since I have been learning Buddha's teachings and other sources of body, mind, and I.
This lady knows great enough.
Give your body and mind to her, she knows what to do.
Thanks for the great video
I was feeling out of breath and wow this exercise really calmed me down. i had tried others but have not been that successful like this one. Thank you for thinking on people who are going through anxiety or panic attacks. God bless you all.
This is great way to spend 12 minutes ty for the post. I was asthmatic as a kid and this type of breathing saved me .
This is the most helpful guided breathing meditation I have ever done, thank you!
I have never felt my mind this calm and quite. Most powerful meditation i have ever had.❤
This is one of a very calmly revitalising and effective guide meditation for me. Thank you.

I am listening to this at least once a day - i find it very helpful :)
I almost fell asleep while sitting while observing my thoughts. Imma need this for my shortness of breath. Thank u!
I am proud that I am meditating again with this 12 minute video not because I worry and panicking but because I want to practice even my brain is calm. Will stick to this everday.
So worth it I have to wake up for school at 6 Am and it’s 12 Am and I’m getting ready to sleep, worth the time.definitely doing again.👍🏻🥱😴
I felt a panic attack coming on, my chest was burning and my mind was racing- i saw something that upset me. I overdosed a week ago and practiced meditation as part of my treatment. This video really helped me, thank you.
I love when she says “ and gently open the eyes” It feels good, best way to start the day. Thanks
Blessings !❤
Wow wow wow that was good. Straightforward, super calming. I think my soul left my body for a bit. It was really great.
This lady is genius. Either she has done enough meditation or made half the world to meditate. She is subtle and proficient in what she does.
This is absolutely amazing, I think you should do a self hypnosis video, I love your voice, you are calm but the way you put it over is empowering x
I found myself truly relaxed which is very unusual. Half way through breathing something twisted inside the diafragm and it kind of cleared my head. I have terrible neck pain and digestion problems. This was a very gentle effective meditation! Big big thank you!

Really good job on this meditation. One of the best I've found. I'm using it daily in an effort to find balance in our insane world.
When I was listening to this I was so relaxed I didn't even realize the video had ended and was supired to find out that almost 30 minutes had went by
Amazing. Best one I’ve tried yet, this took me somewhere I’ve never been before! Thanks
This was so helpful and enlightening.
I’d love more sessions like this but longer
Especially now. Be blessed.
6:18 is where the focus on diaphragm starts
if you're looking for timestamps in a meditation video, you're doing it wrong lol
@@JohnDoe-tt4fm Its ok. Meditation is very personal, not everybody likes the same thing. I wasn't vibing with it either (wasn't making me clam) so just wanted to get to know more about the diaphragm breathing technique.
@@JohnDoe-tt4fm I came just to learn about the technique and not to follow the meditation. Not everyone is here for the same thing.
John Doe she spoke too much for the first 5 minutes so yeah I paused and am getting off this meditation bc there was no diaphragm
Bills and stress and life come at you definitely need to do this more often

Felt so much better !
I like this short and simple breathing exercise. It helps my body transition from being half awake to fully awake and energized in the morning. I am comfortable with her voice. I have tried a dozen morning meditation videos, and I am sticking to this one every morning now.
Still one of our favorite breathing practices - thank you
I love the sound of your voice
Thank you so much for this 🙏✨🌟💖🙏
I feel like her talking distracted me much more than my own thoughts
Really, really helpful for me. Thank you x
This is amazing! Although I was driving so not certain o got the full benefit
Thank you, very nice practice.
I feel like a new person..Thanks
My body seems to jerk and I feel my heartbeat and it's distracting, should I just keep practicing?
Gaf Fatsy yes!
I think that body jerking and heartbeat rhythm are clear indicators of how much your body is vibrating constantly at all times, and in this meditative state your body is not used to breathing such a calm way, it is foreign.
The point of breathing rhythmically like this, is like tuning a guitar, and your body is the guitar, and your many organs are the strings. I try to think of my favorite things when I meditate, I use my breathing like a thing to gaze at like the floating dust by the window on a sunny morning, and simply think. I watch my thoughts like a little person watching a movie, and I try to not judge the movie, because that movie is my life, I simply want to keep watching without any distraction!:)
Hope that helps your understanding of why meditation helps people. Some just need to tune more strings, and it can be quite uncomfortable at times, because of how out of tune you may be.
But just give yourself to it, it will be so worth it in the end
