Relaxation and breathing techniques

It can be normal to feel worried or stressed when you're unsure of whats happening, so remember to look after your body, mind & spirit by trying some simple relaxation techniques.

Your breath can be an anchor to help you feel calm and settled when you feel anxious.
If you can, lying on your back, knees bent and feet on the floor, gently close your eyes and place the palms of your hands on your stomach and feel how the breath moves the hands.

​Try this for 5 minutes or more to help you feel relaxed and calm. If this isn't possible, simply centre yourself and breathe in and out for the count of five. In for five, out for five and when you get ok with this, you can start holding for five in between.
And remember, this will pass.

Back to Basics

​​My dear friend Diane Young would love to know she is carrying on helping people long after she left us.
She was such an inspiration to us all & I know she'd be happy with me sharing her work on this site, as she was passionate about helping people find their way.
It's my privilege to share her brilliant work
'Back to Basics'.
