“Deep grounding” is a simple yet very effective breathing exercise to ground yourself and relax in a stressful situation.
If you have the feeling that you have lost your centre, then you should try this breathing exercise. It helps you to quickly return to a state of focussed awakeness and deep grounding in moments of high stress.
The principle of this exercise is very simple: 4×4 – like an off-roader or SUV (as a small reminder):
- Firstly, inhale for 4 seconds
- Then hold your breath for 4 seconds
- Then exhale for 4 seconds
- And hold your breath for another 4 seconds
Repeat this three times and you should feel grounded again. If not, simply repeat the sequence again or until your heart rate drops and you relax noticeably.
Enjoy trying!
We are looking forward to any feedback or comments.
