Does mindful breathing really reduce tension in my body?

Namaste Kavya Ji, Born on 27 November 1997 at 8:30 AM in Jaipur, your Scorpio Sun tends to "hold" onto stress, which manifests as physical tension in the shoulders and neck (ruled by the early houses of the zodiac). The Mind-Body Link: Why does breathing help the neck? It’s about the "Vagus Nerve." ● The Logic: When you do mindful breathing through Headspace, you signal your brain that you are safe. The brain then stops sending "tighten" signals to your muscles. ● Practice: Use the "Body Scan" meditation. It teaches you to "send your breath" to the areas of tension. This simple activity of "Awareness" is often more effective than a massage because it fixes the source of the tension (the stress response).
