3 Deep Grounding Breaths for panic, ADHD, stress, trigger states and anxiety
This audio recording track can be used as part of your daily wellbeing or spiritual practice. This is an easily learned practice which becomes more powerful the more you practice and engage with it. By grounding your energy, in a powerfully focused way like this, you can take back control and calm from busy, racing, noisy or intrusive thoughts, triggered emotions and the fight/flight/fawn/freeze response. This means you can prevent or minimise hijack by the brain's Amygdala, and step away from reactivity into responsivity, and decide wisely for yourself rather than letting your survival mechanism take over in situations it's not needed for.
This technique is taken from Reiki, but it can be used by anyone, for wellbeing and personal growth. Step back into Zen, in just 3 breaths, and just maybe your grounded energy could help de-escalate people and situations around you, too. Energy follows energy, after all...
