START with the calming “HAAA BREATH.”
It is the easiest way to begin changing the stress response.
The calming HAAA Breath is the beginning step in the process of
gaining relaxation when you want it.
It is one of the easiest skills to use. The only effort required
is to learn proper breathing patterns.
This new pattern changes the message in the brain from,
send more adrenaline to things are safe, no more adrenaline is needed.
This breath leads to a settling down feeling in the body
as the body again seeks balance.

1. Start this exercise with a short 2-second inhalation.
2. Hold your breath for the count of 4.
3. Next you exhale with your mouth open, making a soft “HAAAA” sound for the count of at least eight seconds. The longer you exhale, the better this exercise will work for you.

6. Hold for the count of 4.
