GUIDED BREATHING MEDITATIONS

These meditations are the core of the At Ease program. When you are anxious, your breathing becomes shallow and constricted. You will learn to breathe in an easy, natural way that makes you feel more relaxed. The meditations will also train you to let go of worry and find the pleasure in breathing.

At Ease contains three easy, effective breathing meditations:

-- Deep Breathing Guided Meditation
-- Breath Awareness Guided Meditation
-- Belly Breathing Guided Meditation
Your meditation sessions can be added to Apple Health.

JOURNALING & EXERCISES The At Ease journaling process is increases self-awareness -- the foundation of all change. It will also help you develop some important strategies for dealing with anxiety. You will be given exercises to do during the day, and questions to write about as you reflect on your experiences with the exercises.
