In the midst of stress, anxiety, and frustration, finding a way to signal to your body and mind that you’re in control can significantly shift your state. But how exactly can you achieve this calming effect?

Licensed Acupuncturist Christina Slyter, L.Ac, DACM, MSTOM, Dipl. OM, LMT offers an engaging session on various effective breathing techniques. These exercises are specially designed to transition your body from the high-alert mode of the sympathetic nervous system—often referred to as “fight or flight”—to the relaxed state of the parasympathetic nervous system, also known as “rest and digest” or “calm and connect.”
