MME Album Art

(2:02) Quick Stress Reduction.

This guided meditation is a quick way to relax the mind and body that is perfect way to calm down in the midst of stressful situations, noisy, chaotic environments.

It is very fast and done with the eyes open, so you can do it in meetings, in restaurants, at social gatherings, etc.

You simply redirect your focus to your breath and deepen it gently. This allows you to shift your attention away from stress for a few moments, calming your mind and body, so that you can return to the situation in a better state.

Enjoy!

Progressive Breathing Instructions:

  1.  Start by looking down a comfortable distance in front of you at the floor, desk or table.
  2. With your eyes gazing down (open), shift your attention to your breath. Notice your breath as it is moving in and out of your body.
  3. Take a few breaths where each breath is a little bit longer and a little bit deeper than the breath before.
  4. When you are feeling a bit calmer and more relaxed in your body end the practice by looking up.
