Combine EFT with Deep Breathing for Enhanced Effectiveness 🌬️ Pairing EFT with deep, mindful breathing can enhance the effectiveness of your tapping sessions. Deep breathing helps calm the nervous system, making it easier to release tension and emotional blocks as you tap. As you breathe deeply, focus on the present moment and allow yourself to fully experience the sensations and emotions that arise.

Some few grounding techniques one can practice .

Want to feel better right now? Try this Hooponopono breathing technique. - Breathe in for 4 seconds - Hold your breath for 4 seconds - Exhale for 4 seconds - Hold your breath for 4 seconds Repeat 4 times. The goal is to breathe slowly and deeply to calm your mind and ease your body. Say the following phrases to yourself while you breathe: - I am sorry - Please forgive me - Thank you - I love you These simple phrases can transform your mind, body, and soul. Remember: healing is a journey, not a destination.

"Breath work is a powerful and simple way to disengage our “fight or flight” system and help the body relax. It is a wonderful to improve mood, reduce stress and control emotions. It is a helpful to use when feeling stressed or anxious or when you are feeling a bit panicked such as prior to having a hard conversation or before a public speaking event. I find that a few minutes of Box Breathing is very effective. Box Breath is the following: 4 second breath in, 4 second hold, 4 second breath out, 4 second hold. Repeat. This should be done at least 7-10 times but can be practiced longer if you like. The following link, https://buff.ly/3V1grhb, is a 3 min video that walks you through Box Breathing. You can learn more about Box Breathing, as well as other breathing techniques and array of benefits from breathing intentionally, in James Nestor’s book Breath." - Erik Isaacman

TOP TIPS THE WARMUP! Preparing for a Presentation. 1. BODY - Breathe! Breathe to both calm your nerves and centre your body and voice. Using the breathing technique of breathing in for 4, holding it for 2 and breathing out for 7 about 4 times will naturally calm your nerves by lowering your heart rate, helping you to oxygenate better and give you better support for your voice. 2. VOICE – Hum Connect to the feeling and sound of your voice in your lips and nose by humming. Go up and down in pitch to warm up your voice. 3. RECITE Speak through your script out loud and imagine yourself filling the space you will be presenting in. 4. SPEED RUN Now run your script though as FAST as your mouth will take you! This will exercise the mouth and tongue muscles and ensure clear diction focus your attention. 5. SILENCE Take a moment of silence to feel where your body is, mind is at and to tap into your heart rate and any nerves. Now use these nerves to fuel the energy for your presentation. 6. RECITE AGAIN! Now speak through your script out loud again and feel how much more contained and focused it is now you have done a Speed Run.

One of my followers asked for grounding techniques that don’t involve deep breathing. For some, deep breathing can actually feel overwhelming—especially for those with trauma or conditions like asthma. The sensations of deep breathing can sometimes bring on anxiety rather than calm. Here are 4 grounding tips that focus on other senses and simple actions: 5-4-3-2-1 Technique ✋ Notice 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, and 1 you taste. Hold an Object 🪴 Grab a small item (like a stone) and focus on its texture, weight, and temperature. Temperature Awareness 🌡️ Use a warm mug or an ice pack to feel the sensation of warmth or coolness. Tense and Release 💪 Gently tense and relax a part of your body, like your hands or shoulders, or even imagine this if physical movement is limited. Grounding is about finding what helps you feel present. These techniques can offer calm without triggering uncomfortable feelings. 🌿 #compassionsensetherapy #groundingtechniques #mindfulness #selfcompassion #selfcare #presentmoment
