Have you noticed an influx of courses and devices surrounding the topics of balancing or calming your nervous system? Let us explain! Each of us has a sympathetic nervous system and a parasympathetic nervous system. When everything is going well, these two work in harmony. But when facing anxiety, stress, or physical pain, things can get out of tune. Your breath is a built-in tool that can bring your nervous system back into balance ➕ it's completely free and available to you at any time. Dr. Ma

When it comes to Anxiety, there are many methods and ways to ground yourself. I personally recommend the 4-7-8 breathing method. The next time you start to feel your anxiety taking control, try breathing in through your nose to the count of four, holding your breath to the count of seven and exhaling through your mouth to the count of eight. #mindfulmonday #4-7-8breathingmethod #anxiety Information on this post/story/reel is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended as a subst

When dealing with anxiety, I highly recommend learning a breathing technique. In rare occasions, I hear that breathwork is difficult for some and causes an anxious feeling. If breathwork causes you an edgy sense, slow down, and you can always try pairing it with another relaxation tool like meditation, hypnosis or guided imagery. #breathwork #anxietywithbreathwork | Andrew Weil, M.D.

When it comes to managing anxiety, the journey is personal, but if you're looking for a natural anti-anxiety agent, I suggest investigating Kava. Kava elevates moods and produces a sense of relaxation that can help combat anxiety. https://www.drweil.com/vitamins-supplements-herbs/herbs/keen-on-kava/ #kava #kavaforanxietyrelief | Andrew Weil, M.D.

My first recommendation for anyone who suffers from anxiety is to look at your lifestyle and make modifications accordingly. Cutting back on caffeine Get adequate rest and sleep Practice the 4-7-8 breath regularly can all be extremely helpful. The 4-7-8 breath is the most powerful anti-anxiety measure that I know of. But remember, breath work and meditation is a practice! #tiptuesday #anxiety #anxietyrelief Information on this post/story/reel is provided for informational purposes only and is no
