Scarlett and Jessica discuss the practice of breathing and its importance in the process of choosing love. When we consciously breathe, we can have a physiological experience of feeling love. Jessica offers compelling reasons to integrate the power of breathwork with psychotherapy and other healing and wellness practices. Each full breath we take has a beneficial impact and it only takes 7 minutes a day to practice breathwork. If we take that full breath consciously, with awareness, the benefits are exponentially increased. Conscious breathing is a powerful mechanism for transforming our physiological, emotional, and brain states, and is the fastest way to cultivate integrated presence. To purchase Jessica's book: https://a.co/d/2WVXl7G
