Describe the benefits of breathing for relaxation.
What will be an ideal response?
Breathing techniques allow the mind and body time to slow down, energize, and develop harmony and tranquility. Slow, rhythmic breathing can turn an anxious mental state into a state of relative tranquility and release the body from many other adverse effects of anxiety. Adjusting our breathing back to its natural way of deep and slow breathing sends an instant message to the autonomic nervous system that there is no threat and the body can return to homeostasis. Breathing techniques induce relaxation and activate the calming parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system.
