March Mindfulness is our new series that examines the explosive growth in mindfulness and meditation technology — culminating in Mashable's groundbreaking competitive meditation bracket contest. Because March shouldn't be all madness.
When you're stressed -- consumed by thoughts about your next career move, that embarrassing thing you said a few weeks ago, or anything else that makes your chest tight -- it's helpful to bring yourself back into the present by taking a few deep, steady breaths.
