One Easy Way to Reduce Stress RIGHT now!

Reducing Stress

Stress is one of the top silent killers in our society today.  When we are stressed, even without our permission, chemicals are released into our body that cause many adverse affects.  The following are just a few of the adverse affects that stress creates.

Long term stress causes:
  • Dramatic Signs of Aging  (Think of the presidents they go in young and come out grey.)
  • Cancer
  • Heart Disease/High Blood Pressure
  • Dementia/Confusion
  • Weight Gain From Hormonal Imbalances & Fluctuations
  • Depression & Mood Disorders
  • Chronic Pain & Illness
  • Lethargy & Inability to Function

There is a very simple technique that you can get in the habit of doing right now to reverse this chemical process and is directly related to the Polyvagal Relaxation Response and Chapman's Neuro-lymphatic System of points. 

What is this miracle technique to help reverse chemical stress that automatically happens in our bodies?  Diaphragmatic breathing.  Diaphragmatic breathing leads to increased oxygenation of the blood as well as chemical release that counters cortisol release which leads to the above conditions.  Here's how you do it:
  1. Place one hand on the chest and the other on the abdomen.
  2. Inhale into your noise and exhale through your mouth.
  3. Bypass breathing into your chest, breathe in a very relaxed manner straight into your belly making sure your hand on your belly is rising.
  4. Make sure the hand on your chest is not rising.
  5. Ask yourself how you can make your breathing gentler and easier in your body.  This engages the relaxation response and relaxation chemicals are released in your body.
  6. Breathe deeply, but gently and easily in long breaths.  Do not force your breathing at all. 
  7. Continue to ask how you can make your breathing easier and your belly softer as you breathe into it.
  8. Breathe for 20 breaths in this manner.  
  9. Every day multiply this number by 2.  On the second day take 40 breaths in the same manner until you are doing this about 5 minutes a day at each meal.  
  10. Do this exercise any time you feel stressed out, anxious, or panicked as well as right before meals so it will become an everyday exercise that helps you in your life.


Diaphragmatic breathing leads to increased DHEA release in the body which combats those stress hormones that are released on a daily basis.  This in turn leads to a happier, healthier life.  

This exercise is one which I give frequently to people with PTSD.  PTSD is an anxiety/panic disorder that triggers automatic chemical responses in the body.   It is not a cure all, but it is a beginning to finding balance in the body and a way to combat stress chemicals that wreak havoc in our system.  

Until next time.

I have known Kim and her work at Advanced Therapy Institute of Touch for many years and have seen the positive changes in both her clients and students and I, with my whole heart, would give her and her school 5 stars! John Thunderheart Robinson

"The Doctors told me I would be disabled and unable to work the rest of my life because of Cranial Neuropathy and my mother was injured as well.  IMT rehabilitated my mother and stopped my excruciating pain and disability.  I knew I had to learn it to help others in return. It saved my life!"  T.L. 
"It's been wonderful learning at ATIT.  The school keeps up to date on research and cutting edge therapies that you cannot learn anywhere else. The knowledge, genuine caring and intuitive compassion in this school is beyond words." E.P.
Kim & her school are amazing!  She is a wise, thorough and patient teacher, with gentle  and effective techniques and her students are excited to learn and grow.  They come out of school with the skills to really help people! Brenda Feller, MS, PT - 28 years
