This mindfulness of breathing practice has less guidance than usual so you can have more space to focus on your practice. Please note: If you are struggling with your mental health it's really important to seek professional help. These meditations are not a substitute for that but can be used along side therapy to help to support you.

Less guided mindfulness of breathing practice allows more space to focus; not substitute for professional help, but can support therapy for mental health.
