Intulexia Brain Detox Meditation
Are churning thoughts are keeping you awake at night
Are you dwelling on a stressful event like an argument
Are you angry, fearful, or otherwise about to lose your cool.
Here’s how to do it:
Inhale for a count of four.
Hold for a count of four.
Exhale for a count of four.
Wait for a count of four.
Repeat until you feel calm and centred again.
If it helps, you can trace your finger in a square pattern while you breathe. Or you can close your eyes and visualise traveling around your square. Pairing the breathing with visualisation will take your mind off of the stressful situation and help you focus inward.
When your lungs expand slowly, the vagus nerve picks up on the expansion and signals the release of acetylcholine, which tells your heart to slow down. A slowed heart rate calms your entire nervous system.
