Do you have panic attacks?
Have you tried the Starfish Breathing technique?
Hold one hand up and open your fingers very wide, so that it looks like a starfish. Place the index finger of the other hand at the base of the thumb of your open hand.
As you breathe in (inhale) trace up the side of the thumb with the index finger. As you breathe out (exhale), continue tracing down the inside of the thumb. On your next inhale, trace up the pointer finger. Exhale, tracing down the pointer finger. Continue taking deep inhales & exhales as you trace all five fingers on your “starfish” hand.
When you have finished, put your hands in your lap. Take one more deep breath in and one more deep breath out. Close your eyes and notice how you feel
