Breath is the bridge to the mind.

—Thich Nhat Hanh

Good Monday morning!

Feeling overwhelmed this Monday?

Thich Nhat Hanh guides us to peace through breathwork—a practice emphasizing its role in calming the mind.

Try this one-minute breathwork: Inhale through the nose for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, and exhale through the mouth for 8 seconds. Do four rounds of 4-7-8 breathwork in a quiet spot.

Pranayama breathing, used by yogis for centuries, calms the nervous system—science shows it lowers stress.
