This was wonderful and helped me relax for some much-needed rest. Thank you all for taking the time to film/narrate this exercise, the safe space you hold is greatly appreciated❤️.

I love that you're doing this series! A breathing technique I just learned about in therapy but haven't seen anywhere else is finger tracing, where you trace your fingers as you breathe (breathing in while tracing up the finger, and out while down the other side) Idk if you've heard of it, or if other people will find it useful, but it's really helpful for me because the physical sensation of tracing my fingers draws my attention to that sensation instead of my own thoughts

[Chaoticdisc]

Haha, here after Mike's amazing promotion. I wonder what's coming next. A circle? /j
Thank you for these videos, Kya, Sally and Maeri! Hope you all have decent day!

[arti_smirnoff]

Hello again! Thank you, saved this method too. Also, leave a comment for not blaming Mike for his “scrappy promotion”. He is cool.

[amelialipkowska]

Cool that you posted this! I was actually looking for techniques for calming anxiety.

[six_eye_am]

These breathing exercises are great. I especially love the latter part of these video series

[mirazenker]

This is so great! I don't have DID but I have panic attacks sometimes. Feels good to know some breathing exercises that I can do in case it's needed. Thank you!! ❤️

[Tempestaires]

I really enjoy this one ! It gives you more time to slowly breathe out, which at first can be difficult. I remember the first time we had something similar at yoga, I didn't know how to slowly exhale, I was getting most of the air out at once, so it required a bit of practice. The teacher was doing a longer box breathing, 8 seconds for each, I never managed to pace out the breathe in, so thank you for this version that I can do without struggle !

[Ianto_Jones]

Thanks I have been really needing some things to help my anxiety ❤ it’s been getting so bad I get daily headaches from stress too. I think your all amazing and are great role models .Thanks so much ❤

[roseeinlove]

This was so amazing. Thank you, I'm at loss for words, no idea how to express how grateful I am. I'm currently in a psych ward, going through many bad things. Indeed I've hit the rock bottom, I have to be kept here since I can't stay safe at home. I'm so thankful for this video, and the first part too. It has been working very well and it calms me down very well and I will be using these techniques whenever I feel anxious. Thank you💗

[emberronas]

Thank you for releasing this video today. I had a very strong trigger not even and hour ago and to be able to hear a voice I know walk me through breathing until the attack passed helped keep me dissociating tonight when the hospital could not calm me. Thank you.

[alishac]

Thanks for these tools y’all are so considerate of your audience.

Breathing exercises remind me of taking a smoking break in a strange way. When you’re anxious it makes sense to have an excuse to go outside and breathe at a party, I wonder if in the future quiet breathing spots wouldn’t make sense instead of “smoking areas.” For the public to go get fresh air and ground. Maybe a little fountain with some smooth surfaces and a little garden. ❤

[elisabeththomsen]

Thank you for making this little mini-series. It’s super calming and relaxing, and makes me feel so much better about all the stuff going on in my life right now. Lots of love!

[Ashy-dfrp]

This video was posted like 8 minutes ago (by the time i am watching this) and i was just about to have a panic attack, this helped me so much, thank you! <3

[eszterildikobalas]

It looked like you (as you were speaking) were calming down as well, your counting started a bit uneven for me, but then it became nicely even. Or I was a bit negative at the beginning and got more calm and positive at the end. Or both.
But witchever it is: thank you all!!! You calmed me down ❤

[madelon]

We thought no we are just going to watch and listen. But we felt so comfortable that we went along and it was really calming. Thank you ❤

[burntbread_VOD]

Thank you for these videos, you explain how to do it very well and I find it easy to follow along. Lots of love 💙💙💙

[emilytheemobunz]

Thank you so much, you and the whole system are one of my inspirations. I really needed this today, the advice that's given here truly dose help.

[ComandanteToht]

Thank you, Sally, for always inspiring me to keep calm and enjoy the little things in life 🌼

[abilevitt]

This is wonderful! I've seen so many guided breath videos but your voice is so calming and I loved the things you said after, the editing. Sally and Kya's voice and then Maeri with Kya on screen is just perfect omg. Thank you so much! I came to this relaxed but am now even more relaxed. And will definitely come to this in difficult times. You've found a whole new thing that you are great at! I think you can help so many people with more of this kind of video. Thank you so so much Kya, Sally and Maeri! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ You are true warriors and give so much strength to your audience.
