Breathing is the key

Site Overview

Why is your breathing so important?

It is because when you’re stressed or suffering from anxiety, you breathe more quickly from higher up in your body, from your chest…

and when you breathe from your chest, you will have more activity and stressful thinking going on in your head.


but when you are relaxed, you breathe more slowly from your diaphragm, from your middle.

and when you breathe from your middle, you’ll be taking fewer breaths per minute, you’ll feel more relaxed….more centred, more grounded and much more clear-headed.

Why not see where you’re breathing from at this very moment.
Notice your breathing. Do you feel as if you’re breathing from your chest or from lower down?
Often, just by becoming aware of your breathing, you may find yourself taking a deep breath – which automatically lowers your breathing position in your body, relaxing you.

Breathing gives you control over your anxiety state and it also acts as a gauge and reminder because you can always check where you’re breathing from.

By doing very simple breathing exercises, you can slow down your breathing and change your state to one of relaxation.
Importantly, you can do breathing exercises anytime, anywhere – and you will change how you feel.
