Count While Breathing 4.22 Mins by Gale Lyman published on 2018-02-28T16:13:22Z During this breathwork meditation, focusing on your breath while counting to four may help you to relax and clear your mind of chatter. Cautions: There are many contemplative practices from which you can choose, so talk with your health professional about which ones best for you. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, “Relaxation techniques are generally considered safe for healthy people.” (NCCIH, 2016) Consult your physician before beginning guided meditation, especially if you have a history of post-traumatic stress disorder, seizure disorder, or if you take any medication or remedies, especially for diabetes, thyroid disorders, hypertension, anxiety, and sleep. Medication needs may change if your health improves by consistently doing contemplative practices like guided meditation.
