Get Calm With The Cooling Breath

10/28/2020

2020 has been INTENSE for all of us. We've all got a battle or two (or more) going on right now in our lives.

Even dentists are reporting increased numbers of cracked teeth and dental emergencies since the Spring.  Apparently, it's from all the jaw clenching and teeth grinding from stress.

Good news, I've got a go to breathing exercise for anxiety and stress...

THE COOLING BREATH

It’ll not only help you process strong emotions like The Ha Breath does, but help you calm and relax your nervous system.

It’s the perfect time to add it to your breath work toolbox.

OK let's test it out. 

Check in to see if you are feeling any anxiety or stress.  Rate it on a scale of 1 (none) to 10 (I’m freaking out).

Next do 5 reps of The Cooling Breath.

HOW TO DO THE COOLING BREATH

  • Take a long inhale (through your nose) from your belly to your throat.
  • Exhale through your mouth like your blowing through a straw. 
  • Repeat 5 times. The exhale should be the same or last longer.

After 5 reps of The Cooling Breath, check back in and rate your anxiety or stress on a scale of 1 to 10.  Did it go down?  Do you want to do a few more reps?  Listen to your body.  What does it need?

You can use The Cooling Breath during the day, in the car, before bed.  Anytime you feel anxiety rising.  Make sure to teach it to your kiddos.  They'll love it.  You can describe it like blowing bubbles if that helps them catch on to it.

We are sending tons of love to anyone fighting or recovering from the virus, the fires, or the hurricanes.  Please take care of yourself during these challenging times.

Stay Safe!
