How to Breathe Deeply Into Your Heart

Managing your breath helps you to manage your stress with precision.

Do you feel yourself resisting challenges in your life? In this week's series, you're going to be guided to lean into life's challenges. The series will start off with a special interview with a mindfulness-based business owner, Brandon Nolte from Stello mints. You'll hear how Brandon struggled with social anxiety and what helped him overcome it to become the founder of a mindfulness-based business. As a special gift, Brandon is offering the first 100 guests who visit www.StelloMints.com a free trial pack of Stello mints to try them out for yourself on your own mindfulness journey.

This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, Lean Into Challenges, episodes 2474-2480.
