Five minutes to calm your nervous system

The mind and body are not separate. What affects one affects the other, and the breath is the bridge between them.

Find a comfortable position, soften your jaw and breathe in through your nose for four counts. Let the exhale be long and slow, around six counts.

Add gentle movement, such as rolling the shoulders or a slow child's pose. After five minutes, notice how your body feels. Small rituals, repeated often, create real change.
