What is a Breathing Ball?

Breathing Ball For Children

A breathing ball is a visual aid which can teach us to breathe deeply and mindfully to help us feel calm and relaxed.

Many of us don't use our entire lungs to breathe deeply, but rather only the top portion, resulting in shallow breaths. Getting to know how to breathe deeply can help not only with our daily wellbeing, but also for when we feel stressed or worried in our bodies and minds.

We can imagine we have a breathing ball in our bellies, and as we breathe in, our bellies rise up and the ball gets bigger and bigger.... As we breathe out, it gets smaller and smaller. This is how we can use our diaphragm muscle to breathe a nice, big, deep breath. We can also use a Breathing Ball to help guide us!
