4-7-8- Breathwork Technique For Instant Stress Relief

 
 

This is one of my favourite breathwork tools for calming an overactive mind, feelings of fear and that overwhelming sense of things being out of control. I often use this technique myself when I find myself lying awake at night, tossing, and turning in bed with my mind racing and negative thoughts chasing each other around in my head!

It is so easy to do and yet has a seriously powerful physical effect on our bodies as we stimulate our parasympathetic nervous system. This is the part of our body responsible for helping us to rest, restore and digest.

With all that is going on in the world and subsequently in our thoughts, this tool is one you will find incredibly useful.

Give it a go and let me know below how you felt after 4 rounds of the 4-7-8 breath.
