Breathing exercises can help you with stress relief by activating the your body's relaxation response, a physiological state of deep rest that counters the stress response.

When you engage in deep, controlled breathing, it signals the brain to calm down and relax.

This process reduces the production of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for rest and digestion.

This shift leads to a decrease in heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension, promoting a state of calmness.

Additionally, focused breathing helps you to center your attention and divert it from stress-inducing thoughts.

Here's a snippet from this breathing meditation script for stress relief:

Breathing For Stress Relief (Meditation Script)

Welcome to this helpful stress relief meditation focusing on the power of the breath.

Deep breathing is one of the best tools to use when you are stressed available to you at any time.

First, start by getting into a very comfortable position with loose clothing around the waist to allow for ample breathing…

Place one hand on your chest and the other hand on your stomach …

Begin to breathe in through your nose feeling your belly rise with your hand on top of it…

Your chest should move only the slightest amount …

Exhale through the mouth pushing out as much air as you can emptying your lungs of all the carbon dioxide…

Belly breathing stimulates the vagus nerve, which activates your relaxation response… reducing the speed of your heart rate as well as lowering blood pressure, causing stress to dissipate.

Breathing again, the hand on your stomach should move up and down quite a bit… while the hand on your chest only moves very little...

Inhale through the nose expanding your belly...

Exhale through the mouth letting out a gentle sigh of relief…

Now, begin to count slowly along with your breath until you reach 5 beautiful and passionate breaths…

1… breathe in, express… and let the breath go…

2… breathe in, fill with air… and let the breath fall away…

3… inhale as fully as you can… then let the air escape…

4… breathing in… and breathing out...
