Book Breath Therapy Treatment to Deal with Stress

 Breathing is an unconscious function of our body that the brain's respiratory center controls. When you feel anxious or stressed, as a part of a 'flight or fight response,' your breathing pattern changes. 

Fortunately, you also have the power to change your breathing deliberately. As per numerous studies, regulating your breath can help to manage stress and issues related to it. You can book breath therapy treatment with an expert to reduce stress and promote relaxation. 

The Connection of Stress And Breathing

The fundamental purpose of breathing is to absorb oxygen and expel carbon dioxide with the lung's movement. Muscles that control the lung's movements are the muscles within the ribs and diaphragm. 

As mentioned above, a person's breathing pattern changes under stress. When you are anxious, you take shallow and small breaths using your shoulder instead of your diaphragm. Hyperventilation or shallow over-breathing can prolong the feeling of anxiety while making your stress or physical symptoms worse. When you control your breathing, you can improve these symptoms.

The Response of Breathing Therapy

When you book breath therapy treatment, you are guided through different techniques that offer you a sense of relaxation. When relaxed, you breathe through your nose in a gentle, even, and slow way. It has been observed that intentionally copying the relaxed breathing pattern calms the nervous system. It leads to physiological changes including:

• Lowered heart rate and blood pressure
• Lower stress hormones level in the blood
• A balanced level of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the blood
• Alleviates the build-up of lactic acid in the muscles tissue
• Boost energy
• Improves the functioning of the immunity system
• Enhances the feeling of wellbeing and calmness 

The stress and hectic schedules have crippled our ability to relax. Book healing with Michael to take a step towards peaceful and full-filled life. 

How to Practise Deep Breathing?

During deep breathing, you take bigger breaths into your belly. You can follow the below-mentioned steps for the same:

• Lie on your back on a floor or in a bed. Place your pillows under your knees and head. You can also sit on a chair with your neck, head, and shoulder supported against the chair's back.
• Breathe through the nose and allow your belly to fill with air.
• Breathe out through your nose. 
• Place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly.
• When you breathe in, you will feel your belly rise, and as you breathe out, you will feel your belly lower down. Move your hand on your belly more than the one on your chest.
