Summary
Stop fear in its tracks. Today, we dive into the physiological shift that happens when we learn to control the breath. You'll master the powerful Lion's Breath (Simhasana), a technique that directly stimulates the Vagus Nerve to immediately signal safety to your brain. This practice breaks the physical hold of anxiety in the throat and jaw, allowing you to move from panic to calm and audible courage in seconds.
WELCOME TO THIS WEEK'S SERIES: Becoming Fearless: Breaking the Habit of Hesitation
Welcome to this week's new series! It's time to stop just managing fear and start actively building unstoppable confidence that lasts. This week, we're providing you with a complete, actionable toolkit—from ancient breathwork and hand mudras to modern neuroscience techniques—to fundamentally rewire your mind for courage. Join us for this transformative journey, and discover the powerful, decisive person you are meant to be.
This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, "Becoming Fearless: Breaking the Habit of Hesitation," episodes 3388-3394.
YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Go on a 1% Courage Quest:
Identify and execute one small act of courage every single day. This isn't about skydiving; it's about pushing the edge of your comfort zone by just 1%. This could be: asking a difficult question, turning off your phone for an hour, starting a difficult conversation, or submitting an idea you've been holding back.

| 0:21.6 | I'm Mary Meckley and I'm delighted to share with you as well your featured meditation technique for today. |
| 0:32.6 | For day three of a series, that technique is always a breathing technique. |
| 0:40.6 | And today's breathing technique that goes along with this week's theme of becoming fearless. |
| 0:51.8 | This is you breaking any habit you may have of hesitation. The breathing |
| 0:59.7 | technique is a powerful one. And fair warning, it is a rather unusual breathing technique. |
| 1:11.6 | And if you do yoga, you're probably familiar with the Simhasaana or lion's breath. |
| 1:21.6 | This is a technique where you engage your breath with sound. |

| 2:21.4 | persevering you are facing something you may not want to think about |
