My therapist showed me how to do this to relieve symptoms of anxiety. This plus exercise she said, could help me come off medication and perhaps not to ever go back on them if practised daily. She was so good at it, she could do it whilst sat down. Is she giving me inflated hopes?

[hyptalk]

Inflated hopes? Not in the least bit. Deep breathing is a very well known technique to help you with anxiety. I get anxiety sometimes myself, but I know to take a few minutes to close my eyes and focus on this way of breathing. It really does work wonders. And I strongly believe you'll get off your meds if you continue doing the exercise and meds.

Isn't your diaphragm right under your rib cage?

[hyptalk]

Yes, it is ... I personally go a lot deeper than that as a trained vocalist, I have been trained to overshoot that area. If you can breath from your belly (below your diaphragm), this technique works even better. Sorry for the confusion.

im finding this really difficult....i cant do it for a count of 8.....feels too long

[hyptalk]

You have to practice and over time you will be able to hold your breathing longer. It is very good for your lungs to stretch out your lung capacity this way as well.

it feels like i have multiple ballons not just one ... any feedback lol

[MzeeMoja1]

OK, so maybe I should reconsider how I rate therapy of this nature and quit affording conventional medicine so much credit; I'll give it a regular try. I found your balloon analogy and the accompanying inflating sound quite helpful, perhaps because when my therapist was sat there with her stomach rising up and down - in silence - , all I could think of was how is she being able to breath without moving her upper torso/chest. I was later to learn that it takes practice. Thanks for the reply.

Yep, same.

I know this is kind of forward, but you're amazingly hot. You've got a great body and a great voice. I'm 26, and honestly I'd drop whatever it was I carried if you beckoned right on the floor. :) Just a random lewd internet comment for you!

well isent this better for long deep breaths?

[jea740]

so you use your abdomen{navel} when you do the deep breating with the diaphram?

I feel that the deep breathing is more relaxed but doesnt that put more stress on your body?
