Breathing exercise for high blood pressure - Meditation to Lower Blood Pressure - Deep Breathing
You have the most powerful tool within you to lower your blood pressure…your breath. One of the easiest ways to control your stress and blood pressure is to breathe more slowly and deeply into your belly.
This breathing exercise for high blood pressure is a guided meditation for breath awareness, allowing you to tune into your breath.
When you are stressed you tend to breathe quickly and shallowly into your chest. While doing this meditation you will learn how to breathe into your belly. This is called abdominal breathing or diaphragmatic breathing.
Your natural breathing pattern flows like the waves of the sea, so instead of music I’ve included the sounds of the ocean to accompany this guided meditation. ❤ Clare

the ground.

45 -> chin tucked very slightly in toward your
chest putting your head into a neutral
50.969 -> position. This allows you to be able to
breathe fully.
68.25 -> Pay attention to the journey of your
breath. Let the air fill your tummy, use
82.87 -> that deep belly breath and direct it to

even further.
100.79 -> Allow yourself to relax your head and

any tension in your jaw allowing your

lips to part slightly. Relax any tension
146.05 -> you might have in your neck and
shoulders. Rest your hands close to your
160.06 -> lower belly so you can feel your breath
expanding and imagine it moving through
165.91 -> your body. Really pay attention to your
breath. Breathing slowly through your
178.66 -> nose let the air flow as you inhale and
expand your belly and now relax as you
188.62 -> breathe out. Notice as each inhale breath
expands your sides and lower ribs
199.769 -> filling the belly your back and lower
back.
211.129 -> Breathe slowly into your ribs as you
exhale let the breath go with a gentle
223.26 -> sigh through the nose or mouth and feel
the belly coming back in. Do not force
233.34 -> this process. Simply pay attention to
your breath as it flows in and out of
240.989 -> your body. Smoothly flowing, healing
breath.
263.03 -> Allow your breath to bring the oxygen to
your body and notice how much calmer you
268.97 -> have become. As you go forward with your day remember to come back to your breath
278.3 -> and feel thankful for this amazing
