Korean Breathwork to Calm the Nervous System

Where attention goes, energy flows. In our busy, modern lives, it’s easy to get stuck in our heads—thinking, planning, overanalyzing. Take a moment now: close your eyes and sense where you feel the most heat in your body. Is it in your head? Your heart? Your belly? In Eastern medicine, imbalance is often described as too much heat in the head, and not enough warmth in the belly. This can leave us feeling scattered, anxious, or disconnected from ourselves. This 5-minute belly breathing practice is here to help guide your awareness downward—away from the mind and into your center. There’s a principle in Korean medicine called 수승화강 (Su Seung Hwa Gang)— which means “Water Rises, Fire Descends.” It reflects the idea that a calm mind and a warm belly create balance in the body. Cool, clear awareness rises. Steady, grounded energy flows downward. As you bring your attention to 하단전 (Ha Danjeon) —your lower energy center just below the navel—you begin to quiet the mind, warm the core, and reconnect with your inner knowing. This ancient Korean breathing technique is designed to help you: • Reduce stress & anxiety • Cultivate vital energy • Calm & regulate the nervous system No experience needed—just a few quiet moments and your breath.
