I don’t normally think about how I breathe — my body takes care of it automatically, and that suits me just fine. But sometimes my brain focuses on it, and I suddenly find it harder to take regular deep breaths. It’s a strange experience, especially since it doesn’t happen while meditating.
During my daily meditation, I can focus on the breath without changing it, but not if I accidentally bring my attention to it throughout the day. So when I stumbled across this 1-minute deep breathing exercise from Centr, I decided to give it a go.
