12 Minute Meditation: Practice the Power of the Long Exhale with Georgina Miranda

When we lengthen the exhale, we’re better able to find our power and invite a sense of relaxation to high intensity movement. Longer exhales cause the vagus nerve to send a signal to your brain, activating the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) and easing the sympathetic nervous system (fight, flight, or freeze). You’ll find this practice as a web extra to our Guide to Mindful Movement, in the April issue of Mindful magazine—now on newsstands and mindful.org.
