The Staircase Breath

This meditation is a simple, soothing, focused breathing practice that will help you learn a new way to quickly shift your state of mind. To begin, we will become aware of our natural breath, and then we will begin to breathe consciously - expanding the breath to create a 3 part inhalation - abdomen, chest and upper chest, followed by a long, smooth exhalation. *With this practice, it is important to go at your own pace, so there is no straining around the breath*
