Breathing and Meditation for Healing — Short Exercises to Calm Stress Hormones
Transcript
00:00Stress quietly builds in our bodies every day. But did you know? Just a few slow breaths can
00:06calm your stress hormones in minutes. When we breathe deeply, our brain sends a message to
00:11the body. Relax. This lowers cortisol, the stress hormone, and helps your heart, memory, and mood.
00:19Try this with me. Inhale through your nose for four counts.
00:23Hold for four. Then slowly exhale through your mouth for six counts.
00:31Feel the tension leave your body. Add a simple meditation. As you breathe,
00:37repeat a calming word like peace or calm. Even two minutes of this practice lowers blood pressure
00:43and quiets the mind. You don't need a special place. Try deep breathing while waiting for the
00:50kettle to boil before bedtime or any moment you feel stress rising. With each slow breath,
00:58you're giving your body healing oxygen, lowering stress hormones, and strengthening your resilience.
01:03Naturally, stress may be part of life, but peace can be part of your daily routine.
01:09Just a few breaths a day can heal more than you think.
