• Breathe in for 4 Seconds

• Hold for 2 Seconds

• Breathe out for 6 Seconds (slowly)

Repeat during stressful moments until you feel calm. Gently refocus your mind if it wanders. Let yourself be in this quiet space.

Listen to calm music while breathing ~ Imagine “rays” of light entering your body with each breath.
