Perhaps you might share some breathing techniques to help those who don't know any of their own?

For example, it is best to breathe with your diaphragm and not your chest.  This involves expanding the stomach outward when inhaling and pulling it in when exhaling.  This doesn't make you breath with your diaphragm all by itself per se...it still may take a conscious decision.  I was frequented with chest pains and found out that it was because I was breathing in a way that utilized my chest more...and put stress on those muscles.

Another good breathing practice is to always breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.  It's calming and soothing.

To test this, try breathing in through your mouth and out through your nose.  Note how you feel.  Now try the opposite and compare the differences.

Do you have any breathing techniques to help us out, durki?

We can address the diaphram for breathing, beyond the lungs, and calm the body by doing this breathing at a pace that is comfortable for our own air capacity.  Breathe deeply, slowly, comfortably (do not force the breath) expanding the diaphram, like blowing up a baloon.  As you release the air, the tensions and stresses of the body tend to release as well (consider this a thought with the breathing) as you are breathing into the centre of your being, not high in the chest.

The breathing calms the individual to be able to identify and solve the tensions and stresses.  This allows the body to heal and recover from the dis-comforts and illness of the stress.  Breathing is the beginning.

Eckhart Tolle's book ' The Power Of Now ' is a wonderful work. He has explained lucidly many knotty points in its pages.
