3. AIR - BREATHE - We do it unconsciously, we breathe over 700 times an hour to provide our body with oxygen. Unfortunately most individuals breathe from the upper chest only and deprive the body of the full nourishment and relaxation a deep breath of air can provide. Sensors in our upper chest trigger the flight or fight mechanism when we breath heavily from our upper chest - Fear and even panic attacks arise from this type of breathing. Stress can cause us to breathe this way which inadvertently increases the stressfulness of the situation. Taking a slow deep breath from the abdomen can reverse this process and help induces calm and peacefulness.

HINT - Learn to breathe slow and deeply from your abdomen. This can trigger the relaxation response and help calm you down and create a peaceful feeling.
