Tracy Mahan is a breath work expert and the founder and CEO of Feel to Heal coaching and co-owner of Discover Chiropractic and Wellness in Houston, Texas. She has overcome a health crisis and developed her own technique of breathing to help women lower anxiety and stress and optimize true health in mind, body and spirit. She states that shallow breathing can cause weakening of the diaphragm, tightening of muscles, lack of oxygen to the brain, and stress. Deep breathing, on the other hand, can increase oxygen intake by 20% and activate the parasympathetic system, leading to a more relaxed and energized state and attracting positive things in life. She also mentions that deep breathing can be helpful in receiving spiritual downloads or messages from a higher power.
