In this episode Anniki talks about breathing and breath work with Jessica Harrod who is an expert in this area. They discuss why we often pant and hold our breathe when we're busy and distracted and how this leads to anxiety/anger and a feeling of being out of control. Jess also does a quick and easy breathing technique that you can integrate into your day if you're feeling on edge and not quite yourself. At the end of the day breathing is something that we don't really think about but it plays a pivotal role in how we feel emotionally so creating more awareness can be really helpful - whether you suffer with anxiety or whether you just want to feel stronger and better equipped to deal with whatever life throws in your direction.
