Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- My head is loud and overstimulated and plain breathing isn’t cutting through it
- I want one tiny thing I can do right when I wake up
- Just counting my breath feels dry and I lose interest fast
- I want that buzzing, tingly, weirdly-calm-after rush from the rapid breathing and the long hold, but I’ve seen enough warnings to be genuinely uneasy
- I’m wound up and buzzing and breathing exercises in my head never seem to land
