Breathlessness, Anxiety and Panic

Find a nice background music 🎶 🎧

I don’t mean heavy metal or rock and roll 🎸

Something which will bore you to sleep..😉

I use meditative music and it does the trick!

1.« Counting the breath»

« To begin with, position yourself as comfortably as you can, you might want to take a moment to feel the support beneath you, and just let your body settle in.

And as you breathe in and out slowly, you can allow yourself to feel more and more settled and comfortable, inhaling as fully as you can, gently and easily and breathing out fully and comfortably.

And knowing that when you place your hand over your abdomen or your chest in a certain way, each time you listen to your breath, that you are creating a built-in cue for later on.

And start breathing in, counting 1.2.3 , and breathing out, 1.2.3, noticing how your tummy rises and subsides then continue at your own pace...on and on..

Inhaling and thinking Peace, and exhaling and thinking Calm..

Saying to yourself: I am Peace as you breathe in and breathing out I am Calm..on and on..till you feel soothed and settled..

You may want to choose your own words..»

Hope you have a good day too Fran. I’m trying to get Pete to relax as he’s in such pain.

Lovely photo. Xxx 💖😘

[Hidden in reply to sassy59]

Oh dear Carole, love, so sorry..💕which pain?

[sassy59 in reply to Hidden]

Hi Fran, Petes had back pain for a long time and has a stimulator fitted which doesn’t work. He now has sciatic pain (herniated disc) in his left leg as well as his right.

Trying to help all I can. Xxxxx

[Hidden in reply to sassy59]

Well back to the doctor for that stimulator..if Pete lets you book an appointment..

Drastic changes in weather are not good for bones and joints..my back fracture is playing up..

Fran’s homehelp

Hot and cold 3mn a bag of frozen peas then 3mn a hot water bottle etc until pain subsides..

Massaging with Arnica oil from Weleda?

Acupuncture I have tried for sciatica it is very good if he likes needles.

Mum does Mesotherapy she has several discal hernias..tiny needles with some products done by a proper doctor every 3 weeks.

She tried steroids injections as well..

Anyway no point in suffering, there are ways if he lets you convince him..

Lots of love 💖

Fran

Morning Carole, just read about Pete via Fran's Post, have commented to Fran. I do Believe this big change in our Temperature is the culprit for our Painful Joints. Please give him my love and hope when the sun is back he will be feeling better. xxxx

After yet another sleepless uncomfortable night I will try this this evening, try to relax and get comfortable. Thanks for the wise words and beautiful photo. 🌸🌼🏵️

[Hidden in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Thinking my garden is looking dry..that was first thing this morning..I had the sprinklers on..still..

Have a nice Sunday x

Fran

[Hacienda]

Buenas Dias Fran, Your garden and Beyond is so Beautiful and Yes, very Calming. I have completed all my Breathing Exercises this Morning,(have a bit of a chesty cough). The Body had Ibuprofen Gel to ease the pain of Ostio & Arthritis, after the Heat which didn't really bother me, the Drastic turn of Temperatures(to Chilly) has left my Joints so Painful, never really mentioned them Before, But we all have "Aging Elements" to contend with. I feel this is the case for Carole's Pete, Sciatica is a Pain I wouldn't wish to have ever again. The Hot weather is returning soon, It is most welcome for me, Other's though without Oxygen Help will suffer. Wishing you ,Bea & Aria a Lovely Calming Sunday Carino. Muchisimo Amor y Besos. XXXXXX

[Hidden in reply to Hacienda]

Buenas Carolina,

It’s looking dry..just too hot for my rose tree sniff..

You’ve done well with your breathing exercises, I’m pumping in ventolin and packing things away, trying to remember where I put them 😃

I can’t have nsaid gels but I must say the daily steroids help with aches and mobility..

Sciatica is awful yes..Poor Pete..

Well you are right, for the weather we have to take it one day at a time, not like we can control anything, we just have to adapt..

Besos y abrazos y que tienes un buen domingo xx 🌸🎈🌷💕🎶

[skischool]

Well that's not fair,you didn't mention that part of the relaxation process was too find a nice garden with lush green grass and abundant with beautiful flowers,oh and add in the background of the sparkling blue waters of a Swiss lake with some mountains in the background.

Somewhat difficult to achieve whilst looking out on a rain soaked unkempt Manchunian garden but i will give it my best shot.

Have a happy and peaceful day my friend happy Fran.

Ski's and a cat that sleeps for ever xx

[Hidden in reply to skischool]

I must say the garden and the view help a lot 😃

Sorry about the northern weather but you are in for another heatwave so I heard.

Enjoy your evening xx

Fran

[knitter]

i used to listen to an old tape of a thunderstorm when I was panicky ....and it did help.

[Hidden in reply to knitter]

Wow..Thought you got those knitting needles out and got knitting! Embroidery helps as well I must say..🌼

[Hidden]

Hi Fran, hope your moving day goes well on Tuesday you'll miss your lovely garden and the view. 😃 Take care Majt 💕 🍃

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]
