Breathing Exercise for Managing Panic Attacks
The breathing exercise involves taking a full breath and making the sound 'boom' on exhalation, vibrating it in the belly to replace gut wrenching sensations with feelings of warmth and openness. This exercise has been designed for people experiencing panic attacks to help them shift their focus to positive sensations. By being open to good sensations, individuals can gradually heal from past traumas and abuse, though it might require repetitive work, particularly in cases of early childhood trauma. Healing from deeply rooted traumas is described as a 'hard work miracle' that can take time and dedication. The exercise emphasizes the importance of continued effort in managing and overcoming panic attacks, as highlighted in the speaker's book which acknowledges that healing often requires persistent work.
