In a moment of panic, this meditation helps you to calm and centre yourself by using your greatest asset - your breath.

Even though it's such a seemingly simple meditation practice, it's so very effective. In a moment of panic it's very difficult to center yourself and that's what this mediation is: just a simple centering and focus on breathing in for four, hold for four, and release for four. The best things are always the most simple (for me at least). This is definitely getting saved and will be used when necessary!

It's all about the breath.
I learned that controlling my breath creates calm in place of anxiety.

I can't seem to shake the added anxiety when I reached the end of exhale and had to wait four second
longer before I could inhale again. With each new start I felt fatigue immediately begin to melt away, until I had to wait to take that next cleansing breath. Non the less I continued with the exercise modifying that one part. I do feel better than I started!

No panic
I can control what happens and there is no need to panic, after this short exercise I feel so much better.

This is something I need to keep working at
Slow and steady wins the race. I missed yesterday and I wish I hadn’t but.... if if’s and but’s were candy and nuts.....

Definitely need to keep working on this
My asthma problem occasionally causes or is a side effect of anxiety attacks, and so it’s sometimes really difficult to get control of my breathing, especially to get deep, full breaths, and then I end up depending too heavily on my rescue inhaler. This is definitely something I need to work on. This dependency on my inhaler isn’t good, so I need to practice gently working myself through panicky moments (like before I go to bed) so I won’t feel that way or as often!

Breath Work
I’m working on returning to breath. I feel like I’m learning to breathe for the first time. Come back to breath.
