MINDFULNESS & BREATHWORK AT ATTUNIGRATE

Mindfulness trains the mind to notice thoughts, sensations, and emotions without judgment; breathwork uses paced, intentional breathing to settle the nervous system. Together, they create a rapid‑acting, evidence‑based reset: studies show mindfulness meditation changes the brain in ways that boost emotional regulation and overall health, while focused breath practice can quickly calm the “fight‑or‑flight” response and ease stress‑related symptoms.

How a Session Breathes

  1. Arrive & Anchor – brief grounding to sense the body and current mood.
  2. Breath Mapping – notice natural rhythm, then layer in diaphragmatic or box‑style breathing.

  3. Guided Presence Practice – short, therapist‑led mindfulness exercise (body scan, sound awareness, or loving‑kindness).

  4. Somatic Check‑in – track shifts (warmth, release, steadier heartbeat) and name insights.

  5. Daily Micro‑rituals – you’ll leave with 2‑minute drills (e.g., 4‑7‑8 breath before meetings) to weave calm into real life.
