How to calm anxiety

Are you feeling anxious? Do you feel harassed by the voices in your head? Can you imagine what you would feel like if they were silenced? I don’t want you to feel like there is something wrong with you — we all experience this. Unfortunately, we are never taught as children how to deal with this.

What if I told you there is an easy solution?

One of the quickest ways to calm and quiet the sub-vocalization of the mind is to learn to control your breathing. I know it sounds simple and truthfully it is. Imagine the peace a quiet mind would give you. Would you be more joyful? How would this effect the way you react to situations, to people, and the way you see the world?

Breath is vital. I am sure you know this. We can live without food for weeks even months. We can live without water for a few days. But, we can only survive a few minutes without breath. Breathing exercises strengthen the muscles needed to breathe. Most human beings breathe and only 1/8 of the capacity of their lungs.

They have no sense of the intercostal and diaphragmatic muscles needed to perform a single breath.
