Everyone expereinces difficulties at some point in life. We may try to avoid facing our problems but this usually causes more difficulty later.

It is better to face your difficulties but you don't have to do this alone.

However you are feeling right now, these feelings will change.


To help shift a panic attack or transform emotional pain...try the following...


Take a deep breath and focus on your out breath...keep your attention on your out breath only.

Just focus on breathing out...and add a sighing sound...

You don't have to worry about breathing in as your body will naturally do that 

Focus on your out breath and make a sighing sound

Try to keep to a rythymn and keep it going...breathing out and sighing

Now move your attention to something else in the room...it could be a picture, an object, anything that catches your attention.

Keep the sighing out breath going and rest your mind on the object you have chosen on the other side of the room.

Focus only on your out breath and the object.

You will start to relax and the feeling of relaxation will become stronger and deepen.

Keep this going until your panic goes.
