Treatment For Anxiety. 4-7-8 Breath

Have you heard of the four - seven - eight breath?

This is a breathing technique taken from Yoga.

It is amazing for anxiety.

For this exercise keep your tongue in the yogic position touching the tip of your tongue to the ridge of tissue just behind your upper front teeth.

Keep it there the whole time.

The exercise begins by letting all the air out through your mouth.

Breathe in through your nose to a count of four,

Hold your breath for a count of seven,

Blow air out forcefully through your mouth.

It helps if you purse your lips and make a whooshing sound while letting the air out.

Repeat this for four breath cycles.

This is what it looks like:

(watch video).

Do this at least twice a day. You can do it more frequently if you want but never more than four breath cycles at one time to begin with.

As time goes on and you get used to it, you can increase the amount of cycles.

You can also slow the whole exercise down as you practice.

What limits you is how long you can comfortably hold your breath.

As you practice, you'll get better and better at it and after doing this for 4-6 weeks you can begin using it in other areas of your life.

If somebody says something that makes you angry or frustrated, you can do this exercise before you react.

It can also help you fall asleep.

After 2 - 3 months of regular practice, there can be significant changes that happen in your body:

It can:

Lower heart rate

Lower blood pressure

Improve digestion

As well as being a powerful anti anxiety treatment.

Give this a go and let me know how you go.

You may realise after doing this regularly that this is more powerful than anti-anxiety drugs.

This is something you can do any time, any where and best of all it is FREE!
