Learning to work with your breath to relieve stress can be a powerful tool to have within you.
If you're open to having breathing exercises you can practice on your own, but still with guidance, I can strongly Belleruth Naparstek's Panic Attacks Guided Imagery audio program.
I just picked up the Panic Attacks CD after listening to a sample on her website. The first three tracks deal with breathwork and I found the whole program extremely helpful. They help build-up relaxation and self-regulation skills
The first track focuses on conscious breathing alone. In 1-2-3, Out 1-2-3.
The second track adds a mantra to the breathwork. I breath in peace, I breath out calm. I am peaceful, I am calm, I am at ease.
The third track adds body awareness to the breathwork. You breath into all the areas of your body.
The fourth track is a powerful guided imagery meditation. It helps to face and embrace difficult episodes and helps reduce their frequency and intensity.
The fifth track has affirmations.
This is the link for the Panic Attacks CD. If you go to listen to audio sample on this page, it brings up two samples of the guided imagery meditation. Her audio programs are also available on Amazon.
