Anxiety, anger, deep calm, or steady concentration each have their own patterns of breathing, and we move between different styles of breathing every day without usually realising it. If we can recognise these styles of breathing, we can also consciously change them, and this in turn produces change in the emotional state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePeople usually think of thoughts, feelings, and physical states as different things, but if we think of moving between different ‘modes’ — survival mode, calm modes, anxious states — then it is easy to see that ways of thinking, feeling, perceiving, and breathing are all interlinked. The breath can then be used as the key to change these modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone suffering from anxiety, feeling calmer can happen in a breath or two. For anyone wanting to boost performance, the right breathing skills will help them to get into ‘the zone’ of peak performance. \u003ci\u003ePurposeful Breathing\u003c\/i\u003e also teaches breathing skills for longer-term health and healing, all of which are informed by new discoveries from psychology and neuroscience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47597546930412,"sku":"9781925820591","price":36.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781925820591-purposeful-breathing.jpg?v=1777957192","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/purposeful-breathing-by-dr-greg-smith-9781925820591","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
