February 7, 2021

While we practice conscious breathing, our thinking will slow down, and we can give ourselves a real rest.  Most of the time, we think too much,  and mindful breathing helps us to be calm, relaxed and peaceful.  

It helps us stop thinking so much and stop being possessed by sorrows of the past and worries about the future.  

It enables us to be in touch with life, which is wonderful in the present moment.
