Mindful Breathing : Five-finger breathing for stress/anxiety

Five finger breathing is helpful because it brings several of your senses together at the same time. As you observe and feel your fingers you are also paying attention to your breath which requires awareness of multiples senses and awareness of multiple locations in your body (your two fingers, your two hands and your lungs). Check this video out from Dr. Jud Brewer on five finger breathing to calm your physiology down (also helpful for children).

Synch your breath with this for 10 minutes... You deserve it.

If you have anxiety symptoms, take deep breaths in sync with this moving image while focusing on the soles of your feet to help you focus on your breathing sensations in your body and your feet supported by the floor. You are now in your body, not outside of it.  I hope you find this a helpful additional resource to regulate your nervous system, and anxiety.  As with any recommendation, if you find this not helpful, take a step back and take a break.
