Breathing Techniques

[psycho2000]

Hi,

Would anyone (admin/moderators maybe?) be kind enough to post where I can find information about the different breathing techniques for us PA people. I've just quickly read about 4/4 and 7/11 breathing, abdominal breathing but would like more details on how to practise them...and which is the best to start with? I suffer from panic attacks and random anxiety, and I know I have to retrain myself to breathe normally again when I'm anxious specially.

Thanks a lot, Sam :).

One day, one day I will beat u and that day, I will be free again, as I was before...

I have the No Panic tape on breathing - just costs a £1. I believe it is still played over their helpline 10pm to 10am.

Phone 0808 808 0545 to listen.

I use the breathing technique that Ray has already suggested and I find

that one works for me. You can either ring the free number to listen to

the tape or phone the office to get a copy for £1.

Thanks peeps, just been back from a week away to my gf's place. So gonna check all this out.

I have been extremely on the upperhand of my condition. I have forced myself to learn to control any incoming PA's by keeping calm and breathing slow. I have also forced myself to travel in the train and coach although these are confined places and I remember I had a very nasty PA on a crowded train a month back. SInce then, no more PA's on the train. I am learning, but I am also practising a lot what I am learning and that is exremely important, so regain self confidence quickly and to keep the condition in check, if not, completely beat it!

So ladies and gents, remember this, mind over matter, it does work u know!
