McKeown: Anxiety-Free - exercises for calming the mind 1 pc
Would you like to stop your constantly churning thoughts and stay calm? Would you like to have better mood, more energy, and deeper sleep? The Buteyko Method and mindfulness are simple yet effective techniques that can help you easily cope with anxiety, worry, and pointless rumination.
Chronic overbreathing causes the blood vessels in our body to constrict, leading to increased excitability of brain cells, thus increasing the number of random and repetitive thoughts. This results in a foggy brain and disrupted sleep. The book 'Dare: The New Way to End Anxiety and Stop Panic Attacks' introduces the reader to simple breathing exercises that effectively improve oxygen supply to tissues and organs, especially the brain. Through mindfulness-based techniques, we can better understand the nature of our mind and learn how to step out of the continuous flow of our thoughts.
