Episode Synopsis "Calming Breaths – you’re breathing anyway so why not make it even better?"
You’re probably thinking why does Lesley want to talk to me about breathing, I already know how to do that? You do, you’ve been doing it all your life! But I expect since you were a baby, the way you breathe has changed quite a lot. Hi I’m Lesley Darling and I’m passionate about empowering women with a breast cancer diagnosis, putting them back in control of their wellbeing. Always take 100% responsibility for yourself, discuss anything that may affect your mental or physical health with your own medical support team. I am not medically trained and what I offer here is to inform and entertain. In this episode we talk about: * How babies know what’s good for them and breathe deeply into their bellies. * How the sound of a sigh gets positive results. * The benefits of slowing down our breathing to make it deeper and help to calm down our stress response. * Bringing ourselves back into the moment. * Counting to slow our breathing or blowing down a tiny straw. * Finally, we get our beautiful heart involved and breathe right into and out of our heart space.
