Breathing to reduce stress and anxiety

Breathing to reduce stress and anxiety

The past few days may have left you feeling more unsettled. Dr Weil has a great breathing technique that everyone should do daily to help relax. It will help you manage stress and fight off depression. April is Stress Awareness month, watch the video everyone can benefit from deeper, slower, quieter, and regular breathing.

Last month I had the great opportunity to meet Dr Weil and he demonstrated this great breathing technique. He uses it for his patients.

It is is used for anxiety, sleep problems, cravings, and depression.

Breath Benefits and Demonstration by Dr Weil

Once you develop this breathing technique by practicing it every day, twice a day, it will be a very useful tool that you will always have with you. Use it whenever anything upsetting happens – before you react. Use it whenever you are aware of internal tension. Use it to help you fall asleep. Use it to deal with food cravings. Great for mild to moderate anxiety, this exercise cannot be recommended too highly. Everyone can benefit from it. Learn more about Breathing Exercises.
