Breathing Meditation techniques: the most easy meditation and relaxation techniques

Breathing meditation techniques are amongst the simplest meditation techniques we can learn. After all, you already know how to breathe! So learning some breathing meditations qualifies as learning easy meditation techniques. Having that said, those who suffer from anxiety, the first thing your doctors will likely want to do is prescribe medication for your condition. Many medications for anxiety are addictive and come with annoying side effects but breathing techniques can be so incredibly useful to those desiring quick cure from anxiety.

Start to pay attention to your breathing. It’s something we take for granted, yet breathing gives us vital oxygen and learning some easy meditation techniques by paying attention to breathing is simple to do and very beneficial. When you first start with these breathing meditation techniques, it’s probably best if you are sitting down. Whilst you can perform breathing meditation standing up, start out by sitting down. You can always adjust your technique once you get used to things.

Take a long, slow, deep breath in. Notice the air filling your lungs. Notice the feelings you get as you breath in. Then, once your lungs are full of air, hold your breath. Not for long, just a second or two will do fine. But just hold your breath and again notice the sensations that you feel. Finally, slowly and surely, breath out. Exhale all the air that you have breathed in. this process should take about the same time as it took for you to inhale.

Pay particular attention to your breathing. See what it feels like to let your breathing come and go. Don't try to control it in any way. Just let it come and go. Let your breath be easy. No need to control it at all. Just let it come and go.

Now, begin to relax even deeper. Just let go and relax. Let your energy come and go. Let your energy release. Let go of whatever may come up in your body, and just let yourself relax. Let your breathing come easily. Just continue letting go. Let go of whatever may come up in your body. Let go of any sensation, any fear, any feeling of despair, or unhappiness. Just let go of whatever may come up, and let the energy flow through your body. Let go, and let the energy flow. Don't hold anything back. Just let it flow.

With proper practice, you'll soon realise that the breathing technique can be great for your relaxation endeavors.
