Today’s session focuses on connecting with your diaphragm to establish a sense of safety and calm, a crucial first step for anyone experiencing panic or anxiety.Scientific Foundation:This session directly addresses the risk of anxiety-inducing chest breathing, which is common in panic and anxiety disorders. By activating the diaphragm, you engage the body’s natural mechanism for calming the nervous system. Diaphragmatic breathing promotes parasympathetic activation, helping restore physiological balance and ensuring all future deep breathing exercises for panic attacks are performed safely and effectively. Research highlights that this technique interrupts the cycle of hyperventilation and its symptoms, providing a reliable foundation for nervous system regulation and panic reduction.Practice Guidance:In this session, you’ll learn to identify and feel the movement of your diaphragm, distinguish safe belly breathing from chest breathing, and cultivate a gentle, mindful awareness of your breath. This foundational skill is essential for all subsequent deep breathing exercises for panic attacks and sets the stage for building long-term resilience against anxiety.Continue your 7-day journey to develop a toolkit of scientifically-backed techniques for panic and anxiety. Each day builds on the last, empowering you to take control of your breath and your well-being.#deepbreathingexercisesforpanicattacks #meditation #mindfulness #breathwork #anxiety #stress #wellnessScientific References:[1] A systematic review of brief respiratory, embodiment, cognitive, and mindfulness interventions to reduce state anxiety - Frontiers, accessed July 29, 2025, https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1412928/full[2] Hyperventilation Syndrome: Symptoms, Causes & Treatment - Cleveland Clinic, accessed July 29, 2025, https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24860-hyperventilation-syndrome[3] Effectiveness of diaphragmatic breathing on physiological and psychological stress in adults: A quantitative systematic review protocol - ResearchGate, accessed July 29, 2025, https://www.researchgate.net/publication/325726924_Effectiveness_of_diaphragmatic_breathing_on_physiological_and_psychological_stress_in_adults_A_quantitative_systematic_review_protocol
