Best for: anxiety that resists deep breathing
Most apps tell you to take a deep breath when anxiety rises. This session takes a different approach—rather than overriding your breath, you'll learn to widen the bank of the river so the water passes with more room. A practice in small loosening for a body that has been holding for too long.
Slowing the Breath is a guided audio session from Salūs Rooms — part of the 21-day anxiety collection.
