Yes, Buteyko breathing can very effectively be used to work with conditions which disturb our mental comfort! Most all of the identifiable symptoms associated with over-breathing begin with some form of anxiety. For many of us, some early painful memory may have become the basis for our anxious approach and with the addition of a body of life’s stresses we hold ourselves together most of the time. If we can no longer “contain”, PANIC may prevail.
Our amazing physical body compensates for the ANXIETY and PANIC thoughts by increasing our breathing rate…we breathe faster and faster, taking in more and more air. Unaware, as we increase our breath rate, we move deeper into the “fight or flight” pattern, anxiety and panic may move us into “red alert”. We may lose touch with predictable behavior.
