Team Lavender Diaphragmatic Breathing

Achieve balance, calm and relaxation with a regular meditation practice. To get started, listen to the diaphragmatic breathing meditation audio clip above or click one of the links below for other variations, including a full-length practice.  

A 12-minute focused and simple beginner's meditation, ideally practiced while seated. In default mode, we are often unaware of the breath—it is often shallow and erratic. Diaphragmatic breathing allows the listener to develop breath awareness. This slow deep breathing triggers the parasympathetic nervous system and can cause deep relaxation. It may be helpful for anxiety and to lower blood pressure.
