Deep Breath: Breathing Exercise Alexa Skill

Needing to escape from your hectic day for a couple minutes? Are you wanting to refocus your energy? Then just ask Alexa!

What is Deep Breath?

Deep Breath was created to help walk people through deep, diaphragmatic breathing exercises that are subtly coupled with imagery and grounding scenarios. Psychologists suggest that by just taking one moment out of your day to breathe, there are tremendous psychosocial and physiological benefits! Alexa will take you through, step-by-step, a short breathing exercise that promotes breathing and imagery for stress reduction. This is a universal script that can be used intentionally, where you are taking time out of your day to close your eyes and breathe, or on-the-go, with your eyes open and not necessarily in a “zen” environment. Whether you’re at the office and it’s particularly stressful, or even if you’re trying to help someone else de-stress, this Skill will be perfectly suited.
