It can be tough to slow down your racing brain or operate at a pace that feels calm and centered. Anxiety is the physical, mental and emotional reaction to stress. Changing the way you breath can change the way stress impacts you. I’ve seen and experienced how simple breathing practices can calm and focus the mind, reduce heart rate and blood pressure, and ease pain.
By introducing daily breathing practices and setting yourself up for restful sleep, you may find that the trials and tribulations of daily life are easier to manage. In addition to deactivating the stress response in your physical body, conscious breathing techniques can calm and diffuse emotional turbulence in the mind.
