Feel calmer in a breath or two

People usually think of thoughts, feelings and physical states as different things, but if we think of moving between different ‘modes'—survival mode, calm modes, anxious states—then it is easy to see that different styles of breathing are a remarkably powerful mind-body connection. Anxiety, anger, deep calm or steady concentration each have their own patterns of breathing. Purposeful Breathing is a user-friendly guide to simple breathing skills that can rapidly reduce states you don’t want and increase those you do.

Purposeful Breathing also teaches breathing skills for longer term health and healing, all of which are informed by new discoveries from psychology and neuroscience.
