- Counting the breath is a create way to calm down your breathing and at the same time stay focus during meditation. We will count to 5 while inhaling and 8 while exhaling to allow your parasympathetic nervous system to become active so that you can relax and reduce stress and anxiety. You can do this meditation exercise any time of the day whenever you need a break or feel anxious or stressed out. This video will guide you through this breathing meditation and count for you, so that yo can focus on the breath and on relaxing. This is a great anxiety technique and can reduce fear and anxiety in minutes.
If you feel dizzy stop the exercise or try making the inhalations and exhalations shorter.

Thanks for watching

I'm not sure why but I found it easier to concentrate on the first meditation without counting... Not sure why seeing as counting is supposed to be easier to focus on!
+The Angry Owl same
+The Angry Owl.... So did I. I would have found it more relaxing if she just said .... Breath in slowly .... and out. With some nice music in the background, and no counting. But this could be because I am a beginner.
+Diane Peiffer I find it the same way. Do it as it is comfortable to you. I felt like the counting was too long and I was either not getting enough breathe or I was breathing too much.
Totally agree, the first day was so easier
well its supposed to make you loose thought of any and everything and were are in the future it wont be that way but shes showing you so that you can do it yourself in the future. everybody learns different maybe her videos arent for yall go to someone whom dosent count . #simple
Just completed day 2 & loving it. Great work.
Leon I agree!
i have to go with my own breathing rhythm, if i try to follow this one to a T it becomes very forced, and i have to pause and hold my breath to keep up, or forcefully hold back my breath or inhale quicker to keep time
same here , it's like I can hold my breath longer than 5 seconds then when she says exhale I can breath out longer than that . I don't want to be forced to inhale as quickly or I'll become unfocused .
Not to mention she says different things so it's not even staying consistent. I lost focus at 3:25 and am starting to feel like relaxing music would be better than "beginner's meditation videos"
Yea same here
It could be coincidence but counting up to five to inhale, and counting up to 8 to exhale, works perfectly for me. The natural inhale exhale ratio probably differs depending on the person. Does anyone else find that it takes less time to inhale and more time to exhale?
K it wasn't just me
I'm a teenager, so I have plenty of time and I've been spending most of my day meditating. It's pretty relaxing.
It’s not just the counting that really helps
It’s the tone of the voice - so blissful
I love her voice!
I have such a wondering mind so the counting really helped me stay focused.
same here.
Me niether
Same
Same
Same for me!
The music at the beginning creeps me out!
Jean Pauline Villareal SAME
Jean Pauline Villareal I think it's a George Harrison song
Jean Pauline Villareal me tooo😂
Jean Pauline Villareal Same!
Me too!! 😂
this meditation series is actually helping me to come out of my anger, anxiety and is increasing my focus on studies. I was searching for this kind of meditation series from so long and i finally found. Thank you so much.
Really thats nice of it .hmmm me also trying let's C
i find this exercise very hard sometimes you talk to long and then i lose rythm
Domie Scholtens it actually help me instead
Domie Scholtens I find the pace difficult too. People breath differently according to their lung capacity, so as long as each inhale and exhale is long and controlled you should be fine :)
Domie Scholtens get the gist and do without video
Even do with meditation music or mozart.
Well but that's the point... gain control of your breathing!! When you control it goes in perfect harmony with her counting.
there's many different forms of meditation, it's good to experiment with different forms and you'll certainly find one that suits u best :)
I have recently subscribed the channel. just done 2 days meditation exercise. it is really relaxing for me. It is actually helping a lot removing anxiety, stress and tension. Moreover the voice in the videos is so much soothing that it helps a lot in concentration.
Thanks very much.
Namaste 🙏
I can’t follow your count. I keep getting out of breath lol
me too lol
@@ayobfine me to😂😂
Me too lol
SECRETBOSS SAME😂😂
You just have to concentrate I've meditated for years it's not easy in the beginning you will get agrivated easily but if you just try to maintain it will get much easier
I found the first one easier but I enjoyed this very much
Hello random person scrolling through the comments. Hope you have a great day! ;)
2nd day: I had a hard time following the counting at first and kept losing breath but as I continued on I found focus on my breathing during the count. I do wish we could learn the best seating position since I am doing this on a mat cross leg and I tend to bend forward. Thats it for today!
I never thought that empting your mind could be so fulfilling
Found this very helpful. In the beginning I struggled with her counting but then I started to find it kinda helpful and enjoyed it.
This is my second day & I feel completely calm. Going to continue & complete all the days.
i started doing this just over a year ago & it has helped me immensely in so many ways, thank you!! xx
I am enjoying these sessions. My granddaughter and I are learning together. Those who have complained about her voice or the music should Relax and open your mind in order to learn her techniques.
Luvvvvv her voice. Helped me during my diffucult times
day 2 of this challenge is complete. Great results already, I never would have thought clearing ones could be so fulfilling.
I will see this 30 day challenge to the end. I'm already impressed with the results so far
My minds keeps thinking a lot, I can't stop it... I'd like to learn to control my brain, this is my second day (obviously) and I am so excited to continue this challenge, I hope I'll reach my goal! Thanks for sharing with us this videos that introduced me to meditation!
As someone who just started this in a similar position as you were a month ago could you share your experience with the challenge and whether or not you reached your goals, whatever they may be?
I can relate so much! Good luck on your adventure 😊
Don't try to stop it. Let the thoughts come up and out of you so you're mind can eventually clear.

+jbittersweet thanks I feel.OK with no stress because this meditation works also day 1 thank you😊😊😊😄
This is my favorite video so far when it comes to the 30 day meditation challenge. I feel a difference within the 5 days I've started. Thank you so much for making this video. Seriously, thank you!
Hi Elizabeth! I am really happy to hear you are enjoying the challenge and that you are already feeling the wonderful effect of meditation. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experience, and for spreading kindness and positive energy!
Have a beautiful day
Love and Light!
This is my 2nd day for the 2nd time. It’s easy to follow and i feel relaxed afterwards. I did the 2nd meditation right after the last news break upbout upscaling rules because of the Corona virus. This is a uncertain period with causes higher stress level.
Me too.
Last night I experienced my first ever anxiety attack. My friend recommended that I try meditation and that is how I ended up here. I feel so much more relaxed after this first 5 minutes and am excited to how this progresses. Thank you very much jbittersweet. I'm subbing for sure!
Hi Stephen! Thank you for subscribing! I hope my videos will be able to help:-) But meditation is truly a wonderful tool for fighting both anxiety and depression, as it simply allows you to fully relax and regain control of your mind and body. So I am sure you are going to enjoy it:-)
Have a wonderful day
Love and Light!
Ah.. I love the feeling of stretching after a good meditation. Thank you.
I feel the same that why I order the three day yoga retreat. so after i come expert in breathing in mediate. I can do my yoga real good. Yezz
The breathing pace is very fast for me. I went on my own pace.Thanks for this program.
Amazing ! I feel great. My body just wanted to continue doing the breathing excercise even after the video was done. It was like it was out of my control , my lungs just kept going ! I feel so calm but with a bit of a headache
deena kubti Hi Deena... that is great that it helped you relax and that you enjoyed the exercise. Yes, sometimes meditation can create a bit of a headache, if we are too concentrated or have some tension or stress in our body. Headaches are quite common and can be a sign of spiritual awaking that will disappear as your body gets used to meditating.
Love and Light and thanks for watching!
This has helped me to calm the nerves and stress of a very bad 12 hour long work day. This has helped me to feel more calm, centered, at peace and helped to let all the stress of my day to float away. Thank you so much for this 30 challenge. It has made me enjoy meditation again.
That was really hard due to my asthma. I couldn't quite do it :(
Just use her voice as a guide but start by breathing in for 1 out for 2, when this feels comfortable extend the breaths in and out, if it doesn't become comfortable then try again the next day or even do this a few times a day.
For you this may not be a 30 day challenge and it really doesn't matter.
Just started doing is breathing exercise and i have asthma myself. Use your inhaler twice before you start so your airways are completely open. then it will be hard at all.i just did it myself and it feels great to deeply breath in and out.
If you have problems in it so just count to three
Kamryn Gray keep doind it intil you do it right
I was having trouble as well. But I haven't been diagnosed with asthama.
I was cleaning the house on my day off and felt my frustration at my partner building and building because of all of the mess they make. I decided I needed to take this time for my 2nd day of morning meditation. It really helped. Now I feel like that frustration was worthless and not doing me any good. Thank you for that. I am looking forward to doing this more.
I'm so grateful that I just found your channel yesterday! I watch several of your videos and enjoy them thoroughly. I know it's it's it's difficult time with meditation, not just the process of quieting the mind but also to discipline in order to do it. This was one of them is successful attempts I've ever made! Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to continuing with the challenge and learning more from you! Light and progress to you ✨🙏🏽✨
+CreoleMoon Tarot Thank you for your kind words and I am really happy to hear you had a successful meditation:-) Great to have you on the challenge!
Have a wonderful day
Love and Light!
I am enjoying this as I am not use to meditation and taking baby steps is great. look forward to do the 30 day challenge.
This definitely helped. Except, when breathing in, I'm finding it slightly difficult to hold an inhale for 5 seconds. The 8 seconds exhale is completely fine though. :)
Your not alone.
I did at first.. I got there in the end remembering to inhale through my nose and out through the mouth
Really it's the opposite for me i can inhale fine but 8 seconds of exhale was too much i was out of air to exhale by 5 seconds
+Thomas it's different for everyone, but it seems more common for the exhale to be longer by a couple seconds.
+Thomas plus, exhaling through your lips makes it easier to prolong the exhale.
I repeat this whenever I have breaks after studying for 3 hours. Helps me release stress and continue focusing! Thanks jbittersweet!
Thank you so much for making these videos.. I've tried meditation on/off watching other videos.
But am hoping after completing the 30 day challenge I will adopt this as part of my everyday routine.
Also love the sound of your voice, very calm, sweet and relaxing.
All the best to you,
Zee
+zeebo100 Thank you for your kind words Zee! I hope you are going to enjoy the challenge and reach a point where meditation becomes a natural part of your life:-)
Have a great day
Love and Light!

An excellent video to follow n practice breathing exercises daily. An excellent video to learn on how to breathe daily n breathing with counts daily. This video makes your breathing exercises simple and easy to follow. Once thorough with the breathing exercises, you can do the breathing exercises on your own without the help of this video as it is simple and easy to follow video for your breathing exercises. Loved this video on breathing exercises. Will definitely recommend this video to all beginners who wish to practice breathing exercises. Thanks for the simple,easy and very effective video for breathing exercises. Namaste.

I slept like a baby after Day 1! Slept at 10pm and woke up at 5am without ANY interruptions, no dream, no nothing!! its crazy! So tonight, im really excited to have another great deep sleep again! Thanks J!
wow I feel so relaxed
It's been a good start for the beginner like me. Learning to control my breathing while following the counting is a process I must learn.
Love it feels very calming but it’s very hard for me to inhale for 5 seconds I’m not sure why 😩
Good Morning Bittersweet, I have subscribed to your site and have been trying everyday to do the 30 day beginning meditations. I have had a hard time everyday getting back to the next correct day in sequence. I should be on day 3 but and just found day 2. I am enjoying your site and am Grateful for your help sincerely. I just wish that once I stated it would go automatically to next day. I have limited time in the AM at 5. Trying hard to stay on routine. Thank you for listening! Have a great day! Namaste
This was excellent! So effective and simple. Peace, my friend.
I got home and about 2 hours later I fell asleep again! I'm supposed to stay up but I always fall asleep and my mom didn't even wake me up! I missed dinner and didn't have time to practice my flute and all-region for band is tomorrow! As I was looking for my paper that I didn't even start on (It's due tomorrow) I couldn't find it and water spilled all over me and the floor and on top of that, my new acne treatment fell on the floor and I accidentally stepped on it causing a lot of it to spill out. I really needed this. Only my 2nd day and I already must have it
omg i thought i was going to pass out
I used it as more of a guideline to get the rhythm and count. Yes. I do feel more relaxed. Thank you.
Fascinating
I really like how you count, it’s my first time but I feel relaxed 😌
I got a sudden burst of adrenaline at the end. Woah
That was lovely.
Day 2. And. I'm loving it.
See you tomorrow. Namaste...!
should I Wait to Number 8 to inhale or should I Inhale for 8 seconds ?
I didn't understand!
she says lol, inhale 1 to 5, exhale 1 to 8
my back started to hurt when I was sitting, how do I fix that?
My back also started to hurt, it does not help...
+Swaillow put a pillow behind you??
+Samar Behbehani Thanks
Samee My Back Started Hurting Also. did It Stop Hurting After A week or?
you can lay dawn in your back i do it in the class
I love this so much! It felt like this video only lasted for a minute! I especially love that you talk throughout he entire thing, or else I would probably get lost.
i have a hard time keeping up to pase wither i wanna breathe deeper then 5 or have more air then 8 and it messses me up
Yes I want to inhale more and exhale more . Her pace is steadily making me unfocused .
I struggled with the breathing at first but as it went on I improved. I have since found myself counting whilst breathing even after. I'm hoping meditation will become part of my routine and help, if not cure my anxiety. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Thanks dear creator
It's my second day.
Yesterday I felt more energized.
Meditation is really important, we must include it in habit. As we have food for body, we must do meditation for brain.
Thank you Dear Creator
By far the best I’ve found yet, thank you so much for sharing. You’re technique is impressive and I appreciate that.
❤️❤️❤️
Totally qgree
This is my second time doing this challenge. The first time i enjoyed it, and it helped my anxiety a lot. Excited to finish the challenge and stay persistent.
omg, I'm always distracted by everything, I thought this second day was going to be so hard, but I'm surprised by how fast it felt and how amazing I felt at the end, thank you :)
The first day I tried this was rough at school 5 kids cussing each other out and the sub not having a care in the world but the first made me feel 20 times better thank you for making these tutorials
I found this channel a couple of days ago, and I have to say it has helped me immensely, I'm only 2 days into it and yet I look forward to my meditation every evening now. Of course I will continue meditating to my own sounds after I get used to it. For a beginner such as myself though, this is a great help. :)
Hi, if you're interested, I just started a channel with short videos on mindfulness meditation. Not guided meditations, just instructions and tips. Maybe you'll find it helpful. Have a good day!
Her voice is very relaxing...pretty sure listening to her count could help me fall asleep tonight.
I am really glad that you find my voice relaxing
I am on day 2 and I love this. Thanks for offering such a wonderful gift to the world.
So I also enjoyed Day 2. Looking forward to Day 3
+Saira Harricharan I am so happy to hear you enjoyed the meditation! Thanks for joining the challenge... I hope you are going to find it relaxing:-)
Have a lovely day
Love and Light!
Day 2 is great! My parasympathetic nervous system needs all the help it can get! Going to try to remember to do this throughout my day. Thank you!
I just started watching your videos yesterday and I already feel so centered and at ease with myself. I know it's going to take time to master the quieting of my mind and silencing the world, but your videos are extremely helpful and I look forward to day 3.
It is great fun and relaxation of mind...nice work
jbittersweet Thank you for responding to my comment yesterday! ❤ I just finished day 2 and am amazed at how meditating can ease my mind for the rest of the day!! Much gratitude, love & light ❤🙏 Namaste

You are so sweet : ) I LOVE your meditation exercises!! Thank you so very much; I hope that you have a beautiful day as well 🌞 Love & light ❤! See you tomorrow with day 3.
This is the 4th time I've done this challenge and I have to say, each time I learn a bit more and improve a bit more.
I found that my inhales were 8 and exhales were 5 as i cant breathe out so long so i just focused on that and Imma work on it again seeing as i havent really got used to day 1☺ Good work -Yes i kow its 2 years later-
Very... Very... Relaxing. Day 2 complete, now, I'm going to the next one.
Eight years later and this video is still my go to source for peace
The counting helps to keep out mind in place, thank you for making such simple and strong technique
This is my day 2，already feeling helpful and calming，and find this is great for recoverring my self in the middle of busy，stressful day.
I appreciate these videos and am doing the 30 days as a gift to myself. This is a simple way to do it. Thank you.

I'm finding these very relaxing. I feel calm, and relaxed, and I've noticed my posture was way better than before this. Thanks.
This is by far my favorite deep breathing meditation ever!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your meditation videos are helping me alot i really enjoy the state im in my brain gets so focused that i almost forget my surroundings and im totally focused in my brain thanks alot !
This is helping me so much! Thank u again. I'll be back tomorrow for day 3
very relaxing! can't wait for tomorrow's exercise. 💜
I could not wait for the next day to do day 2 . I think im really enjoying this . I feel good !
for beginners, i think it helped display the breathing tempo. most people count five in, five out. i prefer this one, 5 in, 8 out. thanks for the video
Just need to stick to the instructions and it's brilliant - now I feel relaxed and am breathing more easily - my stuffy nose is clear
Perfect Morning. I feel a lot better. Thank you!
Coming off a break up that felt so heavy on my being I hope to regain inner peace with your help, thank you.
I have been doing the first counting meditation. I really like this one better than the first one. I am going to check out your other things. Thank you for these wonderful gifts that you do
At first i was rushing but then i felt calm and in control but only towards the end but i guess thats why its a day by day lesson. I am learning. Thank you
Just completed day 2. I could really feel a sense of calm. Again thank you. Cannot wait for day 3.
