Deep Breathing Can Help Restore Calm In The Face Of Shocking News   Recently updated !


This week we heard the appalling and devastating news of a terrorist attack at a synagogue in Manchester. Understandably this has impacted many people in our communities. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed and traumatized perhaps unsafe.

There are many strategies we can put in place to help ourselves but one of the most immediate is actually we can choose to change the way we breath.

Deep breathing

Slows the heart rate

Lowers blood pressure

Relaxes muscles

Promotes a sense of calm

Here is a simple exercise in deep breathing you can practice anywhere at anytime.

Breath in for four counts

Hold for Four counts

Breath out for six counts

Repeat and Repeat and Repeat

Practicing deep breathing regularly can help create a sense of balance, making it easier to manage daily stress and stay grounded in challenging situations.

Also of course do reach out to others.  Try not to stay isolated.

Breath Deep and Stay Connected.
