Conscious breathing: There are many different ways to meditate but the essence is taking slow deep breaths while focusing on the process & focusing your mind on a sound or image. One of my favorite techniques is to take a deep breath in & softly say "ommm" or "aoum" (ahh,ohh,ooo,mmm) as you breathe out, focusing on how the sound vibrates you.See http://tinyurl.com/hmcqfbg & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8GrUeE0eHs

Abdominal breathing: Studies have shown that meditation can have positive effects on your autonomic nervous system, your immune system and your hormonal systems, thus rebalancing your overall metabolism. Proper abdominal breathing techniques are paramount in achieving the relaxation response. You do not need to be a master. Find someone who can teach you this and then practice it consistently.

Meditation: Meditation is a mental practice where you learn to focus your attention in one area. There are many different types-- some (like transcendental) asking you to repeat a specific phrase or mantra, and others (mindfulness) asking you to simply observe what's present without trying to change anything at all. The result can be a much calmer emotional state, as well as more relaxed physiology too.
