Three Easy Ways to Ease Stress: Breathe, Notice Emotions, and Meditate

  1. Breathe Deep: Use breath awareness to relax as yoga master Rodney Yee shows you a seated breathing pose. Feel at ease all day long by taking stretching and breathing breaks. Kundalini yoga, for example, is one of the best guided breathing classes you can take to harmonize your mind, and body and clear away negative energy so we get back to feeling good.
  2. Notice Emotions: The golden key to unlocking negative stress is becoming aware of how we hold it in the body. Watch how Deepak Chopra explains that stress is an important aspect of life and we can learn to transform it into a positive force.
  3. Meditate: Healthy living site Lime offers a Meditation Room to help ease stress. We’ve pointed out in previous posts that self meditation is a true healer, so give it a try. Close your eyes and remember the most peaceful place you’ve been, now image you are there. Try taking a few deep cleansing breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth, then open your eyes and see things with a fresh, clear perspective.
