Cultivating a Calm Mind 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge
DAY 9 – STRAW BREATHING      
 
Today your challenge is to practise straw breathing. 
It’s a bit different to belly breathing in that you breathe in through the nose and then slowly exhale through the mouth (instead of the nostrils), as though you are holding a straw between your lips. 
Even better if you can practise it with a straw (steel, bamboo or paper – not plastic!) 
If you find breathing in and out through the nostrils challenging then this is a good alternative. It also helps reduce feelings of anxiety, strengthens the lungs and helps you take in more oxygen.
 
How do you feel after practising this for one minute?
