This video provides two simple meditations and breathing techniques for irritable bowel syndrome. I walk you through two simple meditations to reduce stress, and take you out of the “fight or flight” response.

We can influence irritable bowel syndrome through the gut-brain axis. By improving our mental state of mind, we can find relief in our irritable bowel syndrome and general gut health. So if you are struggling with your irritable bowel syndrome management, give this video a watch. I think you will find it valuable in your irritable bowel syndrome help / journey.

Summary Of Techniques
#1: Elongated Inhalations: Get in a comfortable position, preferably lying down. Breathing in deeply through the nose, and out through the mouth. Emphasize a 1:2 ratio (Inhale:Exhale) for your breathing. This will emphasize deactivating sympathetic nervous system drive (fight or flight) to promote parasympathetic nervous system dominance. This will promote a state of relaxation. Start with 3-5 minutes / day, work up to 10 minutes per day

#2: Alternate Nostril Breathing (I’m sorry I messed this up a little in the video.)
Index finger placed on top of nose
Plug right Nostril
Breath in deeply through L nostril
Switch plugged nostrils when breathing out.
Breath in deeply through R nostril
Switch plugged nostrils when breathing out.
Repeat 9 times per side, per day
