The Stress Response is the body’s natural message for “flight or fight.” While it may work wonders in the jungle when attempting to kill or avoiding being killed, it can cause damage to our lives, our health and our relationships when we can’t let go of the ‘flight’ or ‘fight’ – which is why it is important to be able to control these ‘stresses’ through breathing exercises or meditation. When we inhale and “lift ourselves up” in the process we become primed for the exhale. In the exhale we can release the tension of our muscles. When we put that all together, we have a “Breath Brake”©.
