An Active Breathwork Technique for Restless Minds

Breathwork practitioner Jasmine Marie, who facilitates groups focused on healing racial trauma through her organization Black Girls Breathing, recorded this guided practice for creating space in the mind and opening the heart. She begins with some mindful breathing and visualization before transitioning into a gentle but powerful technique in which you breathe in and out through a wide-open mouth and connect inhale to exhale without pausing in the middle. It’s soothing and clarifying, and the effort of actively controlling your breath gives your mind something to focus on other than your to-do list. We like to do it from a meditation cushion in the morning to get centered before our day begins—or from under the covers at night to draw things to a close.
