Panic attacks: breathing correctly can be a godsend to people who experience panic attacks. So, just how do you breathe properly?

Well, to begin with you must breathe from your belly and not from your chest or your clavicle. Almost everyone breathes primarily from their chests which is grossly inefficient and leaves our bodies grossly under oxygenated.

When the body is deeply oxygenated with plenty of energy in the belly we feel calm and serene.

Sit on the edge of a chair with your feet planted firmly on the ground, assume as close to perfect posture as possible, but relax your muscles.

Close your eyes and put your mind in your belly, one or two inches below your belly button...now, slowly and gently breathe into that spot.

Hold your attention on that spot, and keep inhaling and exhaling slowly, rhythmically, follow the breathing.

Proceed for at least ten or fifteen minutes, now, open your eyes and take a look around the room. I think you'll be amazed at what you see. The world just looks and feels different, calmer, bigger, roomier, brighter.

Why? Because you've put your parasympathetic nervous system in control, which is the one that controls relaxation and rest.

Usually we are dominant in the sympathetic or action mode and this burns us out over time if we don't balance ourselves.

Honestly this is the easiest and cheapest method to calming our stress and panic attacks.

Warning: Although this panic attacks breathing method is extremely powerful, it cannot alone remove panic attacks from your life unless you take this last step.
