The mind and body are deeply interconnected; impact one and the other will follow. The breath is a prime example of this connection.

When we slow down the breath and breathe deeply, we are activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This will subsequently result in physiological, then psychological, relaxation.

The practice in this meditation is as follows: slow deep breath to fill the belly, then quick exhale with mouth open like fogging a mirror.

This breathing technique is different to the traditional slow in and slow out breath techniques, and as such, it may produce a different result for you that you have experienced with those techniques.
