SOUL Challenge: Mindfulness: Controlled Breathing
🌬️ Controlled Breathing
A SOUL Challenge to Calm the Mind & Restore Inner Balance
Your breath is your ever-present anchor—a gentle force that carries wisdom, steadies the heart, and nourishes the body without you even trying. But in moments of stress, we often hold or shorten the breath, cutting ourselves off from its calming power.
The Controlled Breathing Soul Challenge is a simple yet powerful practice that helps you consciously guide your breath into a soothing, balanced rhythm—awakening your body’s natural relaxation response and creating more space for peace to flow in.
💜 What’s Included:
- Step-by-step guidance for the 4-1-4-1 breathing technique (inhale 4, hold 1, exhale 4, hold 1)
- Tips for practicing seated or lying down to maximize comfort
- Guidance for inviting the breath deep into the belly to activate the parasympathetic nervous system
- Flexible timing suggestions—practice from 1 to 10 minutes depending on your needs
- Suggestions for using controlled breathing in moments of acute stress (before a test, presentation, or challenging conversation)
✨ Why It Matters:
