Try these 2 breathing techniques to rebalance the nervous system, reduce stress & anxiety, & return to the parasympathetic state (rest & digest) Box breathing is a deep breathing technique used to slow down your breathing. Visualize a box to help distract you from daily stressors and refocus your mind. Breath in for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 4, exhale through the mouth for 4 and pause for another 4 all while visualizing a box. Repeat 5 times until you feel calm. This is my personal favorite. The 4-7-8 breathing technique is used to reduce stress and it’s known to help people get to sleep quickly. This type of breathing requires you to focus on deep long breaths. Breath in though the nose for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 7 and release through the mouth forcefully for 8 seconds making a “whoosh” sound (very yoga like). Both of these breathing techniques are great for relaxing and relieving stress. Stress can wreak havoc on your gut and learning ways to manage and cope with stress is extremely important for your gut healing journey. #stress #boxbreathing #478breathing #parasympatheticnervoussystem #stressmanagement #guthealingjourney #guthealth #healthygut #restanddjgest
