Welcome back to Anxiety Slayer. I'm Shand Banderleek here with my fabulous friend and partner, Ananga Severe.

We come together on Skype to share anxiety slayer sessions

with you and answer listener questions from our inbox and Facebook page.

Together we share a powerful collection of techniques to reduce anxiety.

And today we're going to be answering a listener question

that came in recently about how breathing techniques aren't

helping slow down somebody's breathing. Here's the question. I have

tried breathing techniques off and on now for over a year. Sad to say, I don't have the

ability to slow my breathing down.

However, I know it must be possible because my breathing gets very shallow when I'm sleeping.

I think my blood pressure is like 80 over 40, just waking up. I'm always a tense person. What can I do?

I'm really glad that this listener wrote to us because I've heard this before but we haven't

we haven't talked about it and so I think we can come together today and share some

good tips to help this person feel better and feel a lot less tense.
