Transform Anxiety with Breath: 10 Day Course

In today’s lesson, we look at what your life is like right now, what kind of phase you find yourself in, popular mindfulness terminology, as well as the importance of your commitment / intention for the course.

In today’s lesson, we review the definitions of anxiety and stress, why they are important to experience and how they can lead to illness if unchecked, or run uncontrolled as well as how the busyness of life and technology can be welcomed into this search for clarity and calm.

In today’s lesson, we explore the various breathing zones in the body, the best zones to use in certain physiological states and how to connect to each area of the lungs.

In today’s lesson, we honour our hardships, we honour how we survived (in the best way we knew how) and we honour the part of ourselves that is now willing to grow, heal and move forward with more breath.

In today’s lesson, we build upon the hardwiring of anxiety and its demise through soothing breathwork and fully releasing tension in the low abdomen, which is the second brain in Eastern medicine and home of the nervous system, as well as breaking down the basics of controlled breathing and its impact on the nervous system.

In today’s lesson, we step back from the details of the nervous system and the scrutinization of anxiety in order to take in the whole body, how to pay attention to it, how to include it into decision making, how to give it care.

In today’s lesson, we practice an affirmation to undo embedded feelings and perceptions that cause us undue stress. We use breath and a new inner dialogue to start shifting the way we think and feel – rather than being at the whim of the mind and its drama.

In today’s lesson we assess the shifts mentally and physically thus far in the course, your observations around breath, refining of goals and intentions and creating simple written reminders to hold yourself accountable.

In today’s lesson, we step into the advanced work of pausing – of not quite doing on an external level, but giving our triggers and our insecurities a long hard look in order to instigate change. The breath and all the knowledge from previous days has prepared us for this quiet introspection, for this opportunity to create long-lasting change.
