Breathwork for Anxiety - Breathing to Calm Anxious Thoughts

Take a moment to find your breath and calm your nervous system with this mindful guided breathwork practice done from a relaxed seated or supine position. Begin by calming your nervous tension with conscious connected breaths inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. When we have anxious thoughts, our breath and body respond and we can feel trapped in the physical sensations as well as the mental loop that we are our thoughts and we are our anxiety. When we can shift our breath to be mindful and focused and regain control of the systems in our body, our perspective can have a transformational shift.

    Thank you. I've been really fatigued and have a sore throat since last night and even though I'm doing everything in my power to heal, i.e., ginger tea, salt water gargle, extra water intake, epsom salt detox bath, rest, fresh raw veggies, meditation and healing I AM affirmations, my anxiety is still flaring... this was really soothing and helpful. I'm going to practice again. ♡

    @Kristen, I just did this practise with AirPods Max, there is no music in this video, your mic is picking up your heartbeat 💗, this was extremely calming. To do this and hear another human calm heartbeat. Thank you for this video.
