Breathing techniques gently calm the body, lower stress levels, and bring you back into the present moment, naturally easing anxiety...

​​

Your nervous system is constantly scanning for safety.  When it senses stress, pressure, overwhelm, or emotional pain, it activates survival responses designed to keep you safe. This can leave you feeling anxious, on edge, irritable, emotional heaviness and unease in the body. 

​

This isn't because something is wrong with you ---it's because your system has reached its stress capacity.

Your Nervous System Thinks Overthinking is a Threat!

​

Why raising good emotions changes everything...

​

Most people try to manage stress by fixing the problems or stopping negative thoughts. That can help, but heres more powerful shift and when it is combined with energy healing, it can have profound effect.

​

When you intentionally raise calming and supportive emotions such as:​

• Safety

• Ease

• Appreciation

• Calm

• Self compassion

something important happens in the nervous system.

If you glass is full as an example of stress levels, then the slightest bit more stress, spills over and creates negative emotions, but as you gradually raise your emotional wellbeing, the glass begins to lower, and empty the glass, and sends signals to your body "I don't need to be on high alert".

​

This lowers the stress baseline, meaning:

It takes more to trigger anxiety or anger

Emotional reactions soften

You recover faster after stress

Your system feels steadier and safer overall

​

You are retraining your nervous system to live at a calmer, safer default level.

Here's a simple breathing technique to help your body settle.

Your Nervous System Thinks Overthinking is a Threat!

 

When we begin on a spiral of negative and overthinking, it can leave us feeling overwhelmed and anxious and we are often looking for ways out of feeling like this. We may turn to our phones to escape, buy things, watch video's or go and eat something to make ourselves feel better.  This can help short term, but will probably find ourselves repeating the same things, time and time again.

​

To help you break the cycle of this habit, there is a simple technique that helps you change your thoughts and feelings in seconds.​

​

The more you focus on breathing through your heart, the more present you will feel. This has proven to be a better way than meditating for hours on end. Try to breath this way throughout the day. When you wake up, when you are eating, working, driving, going to sleep, if you wake up in the night etc.​

​

Peace Breath

​

It's a gentle way to help your nervous system settle so your body can respond differently.

​

Ask yourself, what do I need to feel better in the moment?

Do I need more peace, confidence, vitality, energy, love...

​

Then bring your attention to your heart are and begin to take slightly slower and deeper breaths, breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth, whilst your focus on your chest area.

Say the word out loud, for example "love"  and then breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.

​

Really bring the feeling of that love into your body as if its filling every cell. 

​

Say the word "love" again as you breath in through your nose and out through your mouth and really feel. Do this about 10 times.

​

Then the next round, say "I want more love" as you breath in and out and really feel it. Do this about 10 times.

​

Then a third round, say "I want even more love" as you breath in and out and really feel it. Do this about 10 times.

​

Then finish with your hands on your heart and notice the good feelings flowing around your body.

​

You can keep going if you feel you need more, or change the word, sometimes a new word comes to mind.

​

The key is to do this throughout the day and really feel it in your body as this elevates your emotional wellbeing.

​

Choose the word your body is most open to right now:

​

For anxiety, stress, overwhelm a suggested word may be:

• safety

• calm

• ease

• grounded

• supported

• secure

• centred

• present

• okay

• peace

• relaxed​

 

For nervous system soothing, overthinkers:

• slow

• soft

• quiet

• still

• gentle

• rest

• pause

• flow

• neutral

​

Self-relationship and self-love:

• self trust

• compassion

• kindness

• acceptance

• allowing

• worthy

• enough

• deserving

• loved

• seen

• respected​

 

Body and food:

• satisfied

​

​

Chose one word and try not to switch until you have finished the round and try not to analyse, just allow.

​

This is a simple way we are communicating to our nervous system, via the heart area, which sends the information to our brain and when it is a positive emotion, it doesn't matter what it is, it simply accepts it as that and then looks for more.
