Welcome to Breathing and Meditation Techniques, the third course in our mental wellness series. This course offers gentle, trauma-informed practices to help regulate your emotions, support your nervous system, and create a greater sense of calm and control.
When we experience ongoing stress or trauma, our bodies can become stuck in survival mode—constantly alert, tense, or disconnected. Breathwork and meditation give us tools to interrupt that cycle. These aren’t just relaxation tricks—they work by engaging parts of the body and brain that are directly involved in how we feel, think, and respond to stress.
In this course, you’ll explore:
- The role of the vagus nerve in calming the body
- Simple diaphragmatic breathing techniques
- A visual and sensory-based Ocean Breath meditation
- A balancing technique using alternate nostril breathing
- A longer Body Breath visualization to help you connect with calm, love, and emotional balance
Whether you’re new to breathwork or have tried meditation before, these practices are designed to be gentle, adaptable, and effective—especially for those healing from trauma.
You can read through the text, watch the video, or try the exercises at your own pace. Even a few minutes of intentional breathing can make a difference.
