Breathing Exercises

While it has been used for centuries as a way to relax, heal, reconnect, and rejuvenate the practice of meditation has many other amazing health benefits, some which mainstream communities and medicine is still just now beginning to understand or accept. At the heart of deep meditation practices the concept known as breath meditation and it is an important part of reaching a higher level of peace and rejuvenation.
