andrew weil's 4-7-8 relaxing breath

This was just recommended to me by a client. Thought it was well worth sharing. The link will take you to a short video by Dr Weil http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/VDR00160/Dr-Weils-Breathing-Exercises-4-7-8-Breath.html

What is your experience with the 4-7-8 breath? I read that if you practice it daily that time it will help you stay more relaxed. I feel like right now my body is always on alert for the next sign of danger and I’ve been using this breath as a way to cope throughout the day for the past few days.

I ran across this recently and thought I'd share it. According to Dr. Weil, it is a useful technique for insomnia, anxiety, anger, and to limit cravings--generally to calm the nervous system. http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/VDR00112/The-4-7-8-Breath-Benefits-and-Demonstration.html
