This week we are talking all things breathing and how this can help with anxiety and stress. We also cover panic attacks and what to do if we feel one arising. Wim Hof breathing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tybOi4hjZFQ (!! Don't do the breathing exercises in a swimming pool, before going underwater, beneath the shower, or piloting any vehicle. Always practice sitting or lying down in a safe environment. Tinnitus symptoms may appear as a result of pushing too forcefully during the breathing exercise. If this happens, take a step back in your future practice, it’s important to increase gradually, not forcefully !!)
