Just Breathe: The Healing Power of Breathwork

Welcome back to Feel Good Monday at Moore Health & Wellness. This week, we’re slowing things way down and coming back to the one thing that’s always with us—our breath. It might sound simple, but how you breathe affects everything from your stress levels to your sleep, focus, and even digestion. Breathwork isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being present. And in just a few minutes, it can shift your entire state.

Let’s explore how intentional breathing can reconnect you to your calm, your body, and your power.

Why Breathwork Is a Wellness Game-Changer:

• Activates the parasympathetic nervous system (your “rest and digest” mode)

• Reduces anxiety, stress, and mental fog

• Improves sleep quality and emotional regulation

• Enhances oxygen flow for clearer thinking and more energy

• Helps you respond to life, rather than react to it

How to Start a Simple Breath Practice Today:

• Box breathing: Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4. Repeat.

• 2-minute reset: Set a timer, close your eyes, and breathe deeply through your nose

• Hands-on-heart: Place one hand on your heart, the other on your belly, and breathe slowly, noticing the rise and fall

• Try breathing through your nose only for a few minutes a day to increase calm

• Pair breathwork with a soothing playlist or nature sounds

Today’s Challenge:
Pause and try box breathing for 2 minutes today. Notice how your body feels before and after. No pressure—just breath and presence.

See you next Monday for more ways to center yourself and feel your best
