Breathing ExerciseThe way we breathe can have a dramatic effect on our sense of well-being. Breathing patterns reflect our state of mind: for example, an anxious person tends to breathe quickly and often from the upper part of the chest. Abdominal breathing - breathing from the diaphragm - is an important tool in managing stress. It is the most efficient method of breathing and relaxes the body. Performing breathing exercises each day can relieve tension and anxiety-related symptoms. Laughter TherapyHealthy, non-ridiculing and connecting laughter can provide physiological, psychological and spiritual benefits such as boosting the immune system, enhancing breathing and circulation, reducing stress and tension and relaxing the whole body, unleashing inhibitions and encouraging positive thinking. MeditationInvolves adopting a comfortable posture, usually sitting. You gently focus on your breathing (counting the breaths taken), or on an idea or an image, or may mentally repeat a word or phase. It can be a very effective tool in relieving stress. Research shows that meditation has significant positive physiological and mental effects. During a session your heart rate slows down, your blood pressure drops and your respiration rate reduces. |
