PACE for anxiety attacks (brain gym exercise)
This will calm you down, allowing you to focus on the task at hand. Saved me when I had panic attacks. PACE stands for Positive, Active, Clear & Energetic. E. Drink water C. Brain Buttons: place one hand over the navel. With the other hand, massage the areas on either side of the sternum below the collar bone. Change hand (30 sec/hand) A. Cross Crawl: Touch hand to opposite knee and vice versa. Do this SLOWLY for approximately 2 minutes. Move shoulders and breathe. P. Hook Ups – Part1: Sit. Cross ankles. Stretch out arms, cross them and place palms together. Lace fingers and bring hands under and up to rest under chin. Close eyes, inhale through nose and place tongue on hard palette behind teeth. Drop tongue as you exhale. SLOW, STEADY breaths. Do as long as you want. Hook Ups – Part2: Uncross ankles and arms. Lightly touch fingertips together with both hands. Close eyes, inhale through nose and place tongue on hard palette behind teeth. Drop tongue as you exhale. SLOW, STEADY breaths. Do as long as you want. Slowly come back to reality and notice what your body feels.
thanks for the video. By the way you got the same blue bottle I bought yesterday XD
What hapen to you, this brain gym exercise its for children. Don´t makes me lost my time.
@louis2500 I think these exercises helped my ‘overcoming the anxiety attacks’ but yes moreso for relaxing myself during the onset of an attack. I can’t tell you exactly what got rid of them, but I believe I found my healing in this technique, moving meditation (Tai Chi & Qi Gong), eating wholesome food, exercising and having an understanding of what was really going on in my life to cause such anxiety. Ha, actually to think of it, all those methods were taught to me by my Mum.
2 Feng Shui Tips: Sleeping with your head under the window is a giant recipe for anxiety. Also, having mirrors in your room leads to anxiety as well.
Thank you for the exercises, they really do work.
great video! but the music is greater… bay the way, please let me know the name of that classical
I just read what you wrote please know this-
and you don’t need to pay for it. I used to live with anxiety, panic, ocd and agarophobi, all of this. Please see my site at: fuentesevangelism.c-o-m
Thanks for the video. I will give it a try.
Nice video. I´ve recently discovered those techniques of brain gym. I think they are useful to relax when you have anxiety. Do you know if there is a technique to prevent the anxiety attacks permanently or make them lower?
Dude you did this perfectly! so at my school in the morning to help us focus, we watch this video by you and do the excercises. Sometimes i forget how to do brain buttons and i watch this.
If you have really bad panic attacks certain antidepressants do a good job of blunting them. But if you take one that makes it impossible to have sex stop immediately, because the effect doesn’t always go away.
Hi there, my daughter had panic attacks for 4 years from the time that she was 16 and became agoraphobic, staying stuck at home unable to function in the world. She got better now with behavioural therapy but I realize there is an easier way to work it out.
Thank you my dear as you are probably helping a bunch of others like my daughter with your video. It’s nice and peaceful and I command you for doing this!
Namasté
i should start to do these exercises in class when i get an anxiety attack. Just imagine the look at the people that are in class
That’s great. You are a hottie, too!
what do you guys think about meditation for anxiety?
Hi there, if I ever felt nervous I’d start the PACE movements and would extend the duration of the cross crawls and hook ups until I felt better, the whole procedure never took more than 10 mins. O___O
Hello, I would like to start doing those moviments and I have a doubt. How much time do I have to do the moviments? I mean, are 3 minutes (like in this video) enough?
agreed. i would like to get back into practicing chi gong more often.
chi gong is a good class too do to i do it every tuesdays and it helps me stay focused and also help you breathbetter try it yall
I asked an instructor of Brain Gym about how to alleviate panic attacks, and she recommended this exercise..I could only read how to do it, until now. I was doing it wrong..oops.
thank you for posting this, lovely room by the way. and you are handsome as well.
I don’t know rhythmic movement exercises, but I will ask my mum if she has any resources and if she does, make them available to you. if cognitive-behavioral therapy is not helping you, is there any other forms of behavioral or psychological therapy that may help?
nice vid, i will definitely try that. I am on Vilift and it’s really helping with my anxiety, i love it.
hello..could you please give me examples of rhythmic movement exercises? i have selective mutism and social anxiety disorder and i read that it has something to do with a retained fear paralysis reflex..thank you so much..cognitive-behavioral therapy is not helping me..
We use PACE in my preschool regularly as well as rhythmic movement exercises to integrate the FEAR PARALYSIS REFLEX.
One child, five years old, used to cry for at least an hour after getting dropped off. Since doing the exercises for fear paralysis and pace, he has turned into a happy go lucky guy.
I’m glad you like the video
Just letting people know what worked for me. Let me know how you go with your panic attacks. Tai Chi & Qi Gong also helped me a great deal. Thanks go to my Mum for teaching me these therapeutic forms of movement.
Hi Marie, I knew of these exercises before I had panic attacks -my mum went to a Brain Gym workshop- but first started using BrainGym to alleviate these strange bouts of anxiety. PACE is the only Brain Gym exercise I used and I did it as described (in the info sidebar). I don’t know about the validity of other claims of Brain Gym but I experienced these exercises dissipate panic attacks many times & watched a class of rowdy children+adults calmed & focused after a minute of brain gym.
