Thank you!
Lewis Yaworski how are you
Ghani Subhan I am doing much better thank you. Deep breathing videos, like this one have helped me relax more and have better quality of sleep.
I was stressed out from university and over time, I was able to calm down.
Thank you so so much!I can feel my anxiety coming and she just wouldn't start sigh
so thank you~♡♡
Thanks Man !
Deep breathing is so beneficial for your mental health. It is even a form of mediation. I made a video talking about this actually.
With a calm mind and less stress your body naturally gears itself for success, fights off diseases and you begin to feel a better sense of well being.
Such a good thing to do, recommend it daily!
Totally agree Vlad!
Awww I found this in my playlist called “ This playlist is for after being betrayed “ and it was full of stuff to relax like a few motivational music videos in the playlist. Video about how to forgive and forget, being your own best, how to stop caring, 9 warnings of serve depression 😭. I seriously need use all these now cause I went through another betrayal and a trauma I trying to cope like ptsd from work that I quit from and the ex friends that told me to stop being depressed and find a job, but my mind just not in the right state I just in a mess I can’t focus on anything, I don’t feel joy in what I like 😭. I usually listen to relaxing music to relax me but after this trauma my mind is in a mess I can’t think straight I forgot to on it. I also got diagnosed with eczema which itches all the time and stabbing and burning sensation I can’t cope with the itch I just gave up hope trying to almost live and just lay on the bed skipping meals while crying in pain , I still try eating dinner but it’s hard to eat I have too much on my mind and the itch makes my arm irritable to move
I have really bad anxiety and I have no idea what to do I cry every day, I'm afraid to go to school , I just don't know what to do . It's like I have anxiety and then it goes away and I'm happy and then I have anxiety and then I cry and cry 😭. I wish it could just go away
fears r stories we tell ourselves..xo dnt thnk about all those things nd situations u can't handle ...be d perxon u want to be if u r not comfortable being urself u should modify urself nd dnt evr let your fears drive you seriously it kills👍
Sophia Selitsky check The Anxiety guy! Dennis Simsek. He changed my life!!! I suffered with anxiety my whole life but panic attacks for 3yrs then I found his UA-cam videos, facebook page, podcasts I even paid for one on one Skype sessions with him and I am now in recovery from anxiety. I feel much more free in my everyday life. Check him out :)
Sophia Selitsky im the same way girl, just have faith
I've been the same way since I was eleven years old, and the best thing to do is find a therapist who specializes in anxiety and/or trauma. There are certains types of therapy such as EMDR (the kind I've started) that help your brain process anxiety without inducing panic and teaching you to control it. If that isn't for you, I also find going to forums like reddit where people list their own experiences and advice helpful.
Best of luck
How would you know she’s Christian dumbass? Stop forcing your beliefs into people when don’t know if they follow the same religion as you/ or even have a religion. Your so dumb
It really helpful to me! Really good Exercise video! My anxiety level is very high and sometimes lead me towards panic attack but I am trying to controlling it.
I actually love that you talk through all of your videos. I'm interested in what you have to say and I'm glad you share what you've learned! Thank you! :)
This really helped me ...I was feeling really anxious but I feel a little better now!!!!

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation present your requests to God by prayer with thanksgiving. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding shall guard your minds and hearts in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:6-7
Amen to that ❤️
Amen and I needed these beautiful words. I am thankful that you shared this

Thank you for bringing the Prince of peace into this.
Thanks so much
Tips for you, hope they help!
-drink plenty of water
-do something you love
-cry
-breathe
-call a relative or friend
Nice tips. Thanks . One more I add, listen to favorite song.
thank youuuuuuuu
Why everyone complaining about the talk. She did a perfect video. Actually for me her voice and accent is Claming and relaxing.
many people who are coming to this video having an axiety attack. we really don't want to have to wait for relief nor do we want long drawn out reasons why breathing exersizes are helpful, we know they're helpful. that's why we're here. we literally just want the exersizes and nothing else because we are in panic. it's extremely frustraiting.
@@Basic541 This video is clearly not for, "IM HAVING AN ANXIETY ATTACK RIGHT FUCKING NOW!" it's for "I know I am prone to anxiety attacks so im going to educate myself how to deal with them."
I also liked this video and found her looks, voice, accent and instructions very calming and relaxing.
@Fermentum Mobile I don't have anxiety, but I'm going tell you from experience, That makes things worse.
You are correct.
the alternating nostril breathing has been SO helpful for me thank you! i just did it today on my break at work when it was all getting too overwhelming and it really helped me slow down, even made me feel a bit sleepy
hai Emma
Alternate nostril breathing is so grounding and calming! Perfect for times of overwhelm!
Go to minute 3:10 or so for the exercises.
Kimmy Queen lol
?
kal salem Whats funny
Very clear and helpful. Thanks!
Why do all these female Yoga breathing videos have five minute introductions?
Thanks U Jesus please heal everyone and everybody who going through this sickness I have put U pericous blood upon each and everyone in Jesus pericous name I pray Amen 🙏♥️
Thank you very much for your video. I have been having constant panic attacks, shakes and shortness of breath and just watching your video really helps me. I have been watching this for the past 2 nights in a row now, I find you very relaxing. I will continue to watch this whenever I'm feeling anxious. I love your positive attitude in all your videos. :)
Just noticed this comment and realized nobody reached out...how are you doing now? Did you get a handle on the anxiety?
I like the way she speaks. I breathe deeply and pay attention to my breathing a few minutes at a time and for several times a day. It helps with my anxiety and it calms me down. It also has helped me with sleep.
Thanks for making this video, Meghan! I'm a HUGE fan of deep breathing. During my 60-day health anxiety recovery I discovered the power of not only deep breathing exercises, but also an overall greater mindfulness of my breathing patterns - at times when I'm feeling anxious, or not!
To overcome anxiety it's key that you not try AVOID or RUN AWAY FROM uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, sensations and situations - lest you validate the fear in your subconscious mind, empower the anxiety, unwittingly ensuring it comes back, stronger and more frequently than ever.
So, I made sure to practice deep breathing ALL THE TIME. Eventually, I improved my breathing skills (yup, breathing is a skill!) to the point where I was breathing more deeply ALL THE TIME, reducing my baseline level of anxiety, while raising my ability to respond to acutely challenging situations when they arise.
Pranayama, plain and simple. Basically it teaches how you can control the prana using breath and consequently your thoughts and mind. Folks who are interested in the real thing, please read Swami Vivekananda's Raja Yoga lecture series. It's available on the internet. He introduced the West to Yoga.
I got worked up tonight over something, I have pretty bad anxiety. I have good days and bad days and I'm on medication but sometimes it flares up bad. Sometimes it feels that I can't breathe, even though my breathing is good. I get so wound up. It took a few times to try a couple of these exercises but I actually feel a little bit better thank you
OH! I don't know what to say, I don't know how to thank you Megan ...
every time i watch one of the "BREATHING TECHNIQUE videos" or "YOGA Videos" ..
I just don't know if am i a sick person who can't breath, or what! :D
realy!
but you ..
you are my "super hero" from this moment.
actually, the third technique of breathing is a terrific, amazing, wonderful technique
WOW WOW WOW!
sorry for my bad english , but i just want to stop for a moment to thank you megan ,thank you very much.
you are a legend.
Hi there! SO happy you found these helpful! I love number 3 as well :)
@@meghanlivingstone Uh! thank you. you are SO sweet.
Thank you so much. I've been going through the worst days for the past 3 days just questioning everything due to the difficulty of college. I've been feeling so overwhelmed and stressed to the point where it has affected my sleep, my eating, and prevented me from enjoying what I'm learning (I love to learn). I really appreciate this. I'm definitely just going to take the time everyday and do this and some meditation. Thank you :)
Praying for u! I've been there. 💜💜💜💜
90% doesnt know who to breathe properly so i would say the best breathing technique is concentrating on ur diaphram musscle pulling it up and down (belly goes out and in while relaxing ur shoulders) really fast for one minute... in the beginning u will most likely got problems here and there, so belly going in while ur breathing in or the other way around... dont judge urself just take a sec and finish the exercise. After a while u will get the hang of it. namaste
watching this before i try and buy tickets to the love yourself tour
Ur so lucky
^
AMRYYYYY
I like the second exercise. Thanks, it really worked for me. I get anxiety when I’m hungover! I’m never drinking again
Really thought this only happened to me I really need to stop drinking the anxiety the day after being drunk Is horrible it was quiet bad today
Me toooo I always have an intense guilt the next day like I did something horribly wrong
Thanks for adding alternate nostril breathing for stress management. This is called Pranayama/Anulom-vilom in Sanskrit and it is highly beneficial and can be used to go into a meditative state quicker. thanks a lot. For Holistic well-being you really provide great content @Meghan Livingstone. God bless you!!🙏🙏🙏
Alternative nose breathing is known in yoga as anulom bolom. It is important names of those technics does not get diluted with modern culture
Make sure one pays homage to those sages who brought us these great gift of yoga
Simply said deep bread from noise and exhale slowly from mouth. Make sure you have this as a habit and you actually do it all the time and you will never experience anxiety at all. Avoid sinus problems and smoking. The science behind this is that the air taken from noise is rich in ions and that the brains second most important fuel is O2
I tried this ending up having an asthma attack
Ethan Jones lmao
😂
I don’t get it lol
Ethan Jones nigga what lmao u mean u started feeling anxious lol
lmmfao wasn't tryna laugh but dang
Too much talk honestly but really good exercises. Thanks so much!

Some other people need that kind of explaining ....thank you
Agreed

I don't know, I kind of find her voice soothing by itself, and I like Canadian accents.
Folks attention spans have now reached a new low statistically. I think it’s 3 seconds. No joke. Which is why this guy made this comment. It’s crazy how the masses are now unable to concentrate more than 3 seconds. Their minds are racing so fast about 9 million things they need something to distract them from it all every, yes, 3 seconds. Imagine if that’s how long sex lasted lol.
does this work on panick attacks ive been having loads of attacks stress at home and work been doing it
wish you was my doctor love you dr sam
As a person who would have dismissed this concept as mumbo jumbo a few years ago and I now have given it the due respect it deserves. And I have found this video very informative as well as instructive, thank you for making it so clear.
Useful video. For overthinking problem be careful what you feed your mind. Avoid comparing your life with others, reduce watching negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Your breathing is related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. For a relaxed mind observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath sensations at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. You can sit or lay down on the bed--eyes closed--No deep breathing. Don’t fight your thoughts. With practice the mind will relax. Never meditate with expectations but with self-awareness. Observe your breath anywhere -anytime-- before sleep, at work, when travelling, taking a walk, etc with eyes open or closed. Like me make breath observing a lifetime habit to have a better life. Best wishes--Counsellor.
Awesome video! Background music, technique, surrounding and soothing talking sound, is so relaxing. The simplest best breathing exercise, I came across.
Thank you so much!
Man, alternating nostrils worked like magic!!! This is gonna change my life. Thank you so much for the video.
That's called pranayaama. It's effective. Part of yoga. ❤️
Say it's nadishodhan pranayam... Dont just act like that you got it somewhere
I’ve recently have been having really bad anxiety, especially at night. I just get a high heart rate and I start to fidget and the only thing that helps is if I’m moving fast or something. I’m trying to practice meditation
LOONA I AM-
pussy
These are great! I find that when I'm having panic/anxiety what calms my racing heart most is to inhale for 5 sec, HOLD for 5 sec, and then breath out for about 8 sec. The holding really seems to force me to focus on that and not on anything else and the forced longer exhale does wonders for slowing my heart from pounding. Love all your videos Meghan!
+Auntie M Holding is so helpful too! And I agree, I definitely find longer exhales make me much more calm. Xoxo
I’ve been having a couple attacks since October thinking it was just my blood sugar. After going to the doctors and getting every test under the sun it was determined that I’m actually having panic attacks. Apparently my aunt went through the same thing when she was my age. As much as that sucks, it’s nice to see that there are plenty of videos online and a community to help you get through it. I’ve never encountered something so scary, so I’m glad to know I’m not alone in this
Taylor G hey their..i am also going through panic attack..will u tell me u recovered?
I want to do this breathing but you're talking from multiple minutes and not doing anything
@@babylife1711k.
I read, and it seems to apply to me, that the body shuts down one nostril at a time. So at any one time, one nostril always feels blocked and only works by being helped open.
Lovely video
I love all of these breathing techniques! They are so helpful on days when I'm feeling stressed and overwhelmed.
Good techniques,
I've heard of the first 2 techniques and normal exhale for a bit longer it helps.
But the 3th technique is new, I really like and enjoyed it.
Thank you
Glad to help :)
Sitting at the drs office having a huge panick attack. Waiting room. Thank you for this. I look ridiculous but it helps.
Aww haha I'm soo happy this helped you!! Big hugs.
You can never look too ridiculous in a doctor's office :) .But I know what you mean, I have horrible white coat syndrome myself. Doctors offices and hospitals give me very bad anxiety.
@@meghanlivingstone
Yes how old are you thank you regard
Taking a pause to do 3 deep breaths like this always re-centers me and calms me down. Thanks for this.
I get this weird breathing situation when I’m really conscious of myself when everyone can hear you breathe when it’s really quiet, my breath is sitting really high and my breathing becomes more forced as I’m panicking even more because I think people will think something. When I’m comfortable this sounds dumb but right now I’m in one of those situations and it’s really hard to get out of it, when you (in my mind) cannot sigh really deep or something because then, you know, people think things.
Ikr :( same
since my anxiety and my heart palpatations these really really helped me ! thanks meghan livingstone ! i liked alternate nostril breathing and the pursed lips breathing they really helped me i subscribed , loved your videos bye !
I like those ones too! So happy to hear they helped. Thanks for subscribing! ❤😊
Tamia ! i get palpitations too😭 they’re so scary and cause me to have more anxiety from them than from anxiety itself :(
@@paulinajanikowski1253 Same! Its scary because you don't know if its getting too serious and that makes you freak out more😣
@@meghanlivingstone love you
I'm currently dealing with anxiety and this helped so so much❤ Thank you for making such a helpful video!❤
Any tips for someone struggling with hyperventilating? I find when I start focusing on my breathing I tend to get really tense and can't seem to relax
I really liked the alternate breathing through nose. Really helped me. Thank you.
I have really bad panic attacks thank u u helped me
On my way to a stressful job and decided to do some breathing techniques. I’ve never tried the switching nostrils one, but I do like that one the best it seems like that one provided me with the most stress relief. Thank you for this tip.
The introductory remarks were repetitive and way too long.
Hi Meghan! I love this video so much, and I want to make sure everyone can understand it and use it to help themselves! That's why I wanted to let you know that your captions are a little off.
At about 1:09, the auto-captions say "tool to use if your feelings just out" where they meant to say "Incredible tool to use if you're feeling stressed out."
When you get a chance, could you fix that? That'll help the 360 million folks globally who rely on closed captions to understand videos. Thank you, and keep up the great work!
excellent I'll try this I also tell myself "I'm glued to the ground I will not move " I kinda go with it telling myself "it'll pass I will not die" also coughing helps me too. Ad long as I distract myself from the panic attack ect.
They all worked like a charm. And i fell less stressed but i also feel better. I will keep doing thes...thanks so very much for sharing
video starts at 3:15
I felt like I'm a new person after trying this out. Thanks. 😊
"Equal breathing" is the way that humans extract energy from the oxygen in air, and then detoxify the carbon dioxide that is otherwise stored as fat. "Alternate nostril breathing" is the fastest way to eliminate nausea, dizziness and vertigo... it usually only takes 30 seconds. I would love to teach you how to eliminate a migraine quickly, for free...
One most important step while doing the breathing exercise is fill your stomach up while breathing in and release the air out from mouth while breathing out stomach should clench.. feel the difference when you do this..

Fuck Anxiety I Have This I Suffer With Breathing SomeTimes But Its Always In My Head That Its Temporary! Talking To New People Help Me AnyOne That Wants To Talk About It Hmu God Bless You!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you so much... With all that's going on in the world, I needed that help
please help me to come out from ocd, I have been suffering from ocd since 12 years it has been killing me terribly I can't eat anything I can't bath I can't wear clothes totally It never let me to do anything because of scary and negative thoughts comes from mind so I scar for those thoughts, and if I go to temple or wherever in front of God calendar if I stand to pray only negative thoughts will comes so I scar bcz i feel like god may bless those thoughts and that may happen so I mainly scar for it this is my big problem so please tell me is it possible dose those my unwanted thoughts happen to me from God
Also look into diaphragmic breathing or breathing with the stomach. it is the quote unquote proper way to breath and it promotes better general health and mood :)
Advice: if you talk that much before you start, people might lose interest and skip video and subsequently lose the opportunity of knowing these exercises.. a max of 30 sec catchy intro is more than enough. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
These techniques are actually breathing exercises of yoga or 'pranayams' as we call them in India. It's way too old and have seen my Dad and Grandad do these along with other yoga asans for as long as I can remember. I myself have been doing it way before I hit my teens and it's been over 15 years now. These are effective if done properly and 15 mins morning and evening gives great benefits to other systems as well. Here is a tip: The 3rd one is called Anulom Vilom pranayam, you can google it. It gives the best results and it requires patience, so switch on some meditation music for 5 or 15 mins to make sure you do it for a definite amount of time, favourable when the stomach is empty so mornings and evenings are best. Be a regular, even if for 10-15 days and you will notice outstanding benefits.
I am doing my ever first round of research on the subject, your vid was the first I watched on it. Super useful techniques! Thank you!! (I also checked out your channel. Awesome content, Im super glad I found you!)
I love your videos...the only thing I would change is the fact that you don't make them too often (that's a compliment, by the way). I wish you made videos more often. Your voice is so soothing...thanks for your awesome videos!!!!
I agree her voice is very soothing.
Beautiful lady giving beautiful thought, God bless you.
I’m glad what our yogi and sadhu ( saints) discovered 5000 years ago is gaining world wide popularity and so much awareness is there ... to some extent credit goes to Ramdev Baba . Follow our culture there’s so much amazing hidden treasures are there.
IT IS ALL VERY GREAT AND HELPFULL i JUST FIND THAT THE "TRADITIONAL" WAY TO HOLD YOUR FINGERS WHEN DOING ALTERNATIVE NOSTRIL BREATHING VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND END UP CONCENTRATING MORE ON THAT THAN BREATHING SURELY YOU CAN USE ANY OF THE FINGERS YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH?
Thanks for the breathing video! I could feel it works.
Quite relaxing on the right and left nostril breathing. 👍🏻👍🏻
I heard about the Forwago and decided to give it a try. I am more than grateful for the plans which helped me to improve my physical and mental health. Definitely, I would recommend everybody to try it!
Three months ago I found out about the program called Forwago. It is amazing how this program helped me to change my perspective and taught me to think more positively and to be more grateful.
SLOW,,,,, DEEP BREATHING THROUGH THE NOSE FOR 5 MINUTES TWICE A DAY CAN LOWER YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE. AMAZING IT REALLY WORKS. HELPS FIGHT ANXIETY AS WELL.
