<strong>and</strong> bringing the breath back to normal<br />

with “Cool thoughts”<br />

Adrenaline <strong>and</strong> Cortisol <strong>and</strong> Slow Down Your Heart<br />
Bonus Exercise: Visualization for Health Enhancement<br />
This Chapter explains how you can calm your breathing,<br />
mind <strong>and</strong> the body. Breath is the “master skill” to our calming<br />
<strong>and</strong> controlling strategy. It’s important that you utilize these steps<br />
in any order that works best for you.<br />
Note: I have numbered the steps as 1, 2 <strong>and</strong> 3, but you don’t<br />
have to follow them in that order. Actually, you might be working<br />
on all of them simultaneously.
