Breathe Work for Anxiety - Doing breathe work can help you through if you’re experiencing an anxiety attack. I was surprised to learn about this method during a Hypnotherapy session I had booked in Melbourne.

When we were babies we always breathed through our Diaphragm not that I can remember this but observe a baby and see how it breathes.

Above is an image of the Diaphragm and as you can see this is the region between your tummy and upper lungs.

Test yourself to see to see how you breathe. If you some from anxiety attacks there is a good chance you’re breathing through your chest not the diaphragm area.

Breathe Exercise

Place your left hand in a flat position over your chest on the right hand side and place your right hand over to the left hand side of your chest. Now take a few breathes in and out. Are your hands moving in and out? If they are moving you’re breathing through your chest not your Diaphragm. Breathing through your Diaphragm helps you to release any toxins in your tummy area that may build up which needs to be released.

At first this will be a little difficult for yo to do but the more you do this exercise the better you will become at it.

Its best if you were standing to complete this exercise.

1. Place your hands on your chest as described above.

2. Take slow breathes in and out and attempt to breathe in through your tummy rather than your chest.

You will need to do this a few times. Once you start to breathe through your Diaphragm you will notice your hands will stop moving. This is the sign that you have done this correctly.
