The anxieties of the workaday world can be stressful enough, but those left over from combat are inarguably worse. Dahn Yoga breathing techniques already suffice for individuals suffering from the trials of work and family life. Now, war veterans are being instructed in deep breathing for stress relief.
Some veterans in Boca Raton, Florida, are learning to calm themselves down using yoga, deep breathing and stretching exercises, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. The group, called Connected Warriors, meets to learn basic yoga methods that can reduce post-war fear, anxiety or past-traumatic stress disorder, the news organization said.
“I am learning to stop being on the defensive,” sergeant major Maria Mariska Allsopp told the source. “I am making my own kind of peace.”
Stress relief is a key goal of Dahn Yoga breathing techniques, which focus on inhaling refreshing energy and exhaling toxins, tension and negative emotions.
This respiratory method, which is known as Jung-Choong breathing, also concentrates the mind on the body’s Governing Meridian, up which cool energy flows the the brain and warm energy flows down to the belly, a cycle that is necessary for equalizing the body’s forces.
