Anne Ornish: Your breath is the perfect, natural object of mediation — it’s the most readily accessible, and powerful tool we have –awareness of your breathing serves as a bridge between mind and body, consciousness and unconsciousness – which furthers the goal of increasing your field of overall awareness, or in other words, ‘as is the breath, as is the mind and body’.

Our breathing rate powerfully corresponds with our pulse and heart rate.

By practicing slow, rhythmic breathing we can better regulate a steady heart rate, a more serene mind and relaxed body.

By cultivating greater awareness of the breath, we support an ever expanding and all-encompassing moment-to moment attunement with our thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
