In today's society, stress seems to be a way of life. In fact, stress accounts for a majority of the illness and general dis-ease that manages to find its way into our lives and bodies. When your body is overrun with stress it weakens your immune system, and lowers your body's ability to deal with viruses that are waiting to set up shop in your body.

Everyone needs to take a little time out of their day to relax. Center yourself and let the tension release from your muscles and the problems escape your mind. My personal favorite method to achieve this is deep breath relaxation.

There are a plethora of benefits to using deep breath relaxation methods including a deep meditative state the can be achieved. This will help to balance your body, fill your cells with oxygen and energize your being. These techniques have been developed and improved upon for thousands of years by the mediation masters.

If you take up these practices on a daily basis, you will be on your way to leading a healthy life. Breathing and relaxation are a wonderful 1, 2 punch in preventing diseases, lowering blood pressure, reducing anxiety, and fighting depression.

To start, find a quiet and peaceful place where you can sit or stand comfortably. Sit up straight and inhale a deep breath from your abdomen, not your chest. Take long, deep, slow breaths. Feel you lungs fill with oxygen, close your eyes and breathe out.

In the beginning it can be hard to concentrate and stay focused on your breathing. Your mind will want to wonder, effectively distracting you from you goal. If this happens to you, just keep breathing, deep and slow and focus on your breathe. You will achieve a relaxed state where your stress will be released and your mind will be calm.

For ideal results, you will want to reach a meditative state once a day for a half of an hour. If you do this daily you will find your mind and your body felling more vibrate and healthy, and the stress melting away.
