We all could benefit from breathing more deeply more often. Breathing deeply, more frequently creates space in the body and mind.  Breathing deeply frees up stuck places in the body, softens anxious thoughts and relaxes all the muscles in your body.

You don’t have to engage in a complex practice of yoga pranayama or buy any special equipment; all you need is a willingness to slow down and feel better. Here’s a great article from the folks over at Live Strong, it outlines a simple way to breathe deeply for maximum benefit:
