Summary
In this episode you're guided in a meditation using a breathing technique to manage negative reactions to stress. One of the most simple and effective ways to instantly calm your mind and body is by focusing on your breath. This is part 3 of a 7-Part Control Negative Reactions Series, Episodes 730-736.
