20: The quickest way to release stress, anxiety and old emotions with James Dowler

Today's episode is about using the breath as a powerful tool to release old emotions and let go of stress and anxiety. Breath-work practioner James Dowler explains what is breath-work, conscious connected breathing and why it's so powerful in healing the mind and body. We delve into the biology, history and practical examples of breath work techniques you can use daily and in moments you need to calm yourself. This episode is part of my beat corona virus series with a mission to share tools, tips and information that can help us in these physically isolated and uncertain times.

A little bit about the NOT PERFECT podcast. Thank you for reading this and thank you for being here. The intention for this podcast is to share conversations on the subjects that can nurture our life from the inside. Just like physical exercise takes work and commitment, I believe our emotional health requires the same attention. Life throws curve balls unexpectedly and these can feel much more manageable when we know more about our mind. I hope these episodes are helpful in sharing tools, tips and insights into our brilliant hardware that can feel faulty but always fixable. I would love to hear from you if you have any feedback or guest suggestions, please find me on instagram @poppyjamie and @happynotperfect.
