CLAUSTROPHOBIA
Tips for managing claustrophobia
-
Breathe slowly and deeply while counting to three with each breath.
-
Focus on something safe, like time passing on your watch.
-
Roll into a tight ball, contacting and tensioning your whole body (Seated on mat)
-
Remind yourself repeatedly that your fear and anxiety will pass.
-
Slowly reach out and extend arms and legs into a star shape
-
Challenge what's triggering your attack by repeating that the fear is irrational.
CRANKY/IRRITABLE
Take the edge off with some seriously intense stretching, Warrior into Triangle pose is one solution.
DECEITFUL
So you called in sick, lied about your finances? and feeling a tad dishonest. Here's a great balancing honesty exercise. If that doesn't ease the mood, try GUILT below
DEPRESSED/ APATHETIC
Try repetitive, focused exercises, such as roll-down, focused bodywork. Use a bench, or boosted mat. Spinal articulation will restore feeling and energy to the whole body, relieve tension, stress and listlessness.
GUILTY
Don't let it eat at you. Get into the flow, with some cleansing chiGO!
GRIEF
Grief and bereavement, especially at this time, are a process. A time of loss, often loneliness and isolation. Find a quiet dedicated space, using self-touch self-soothing (slow, rhythmic) and assisted
or passive exercises.

HURT/INSULTED/INDIGNANT
That tight-chested feeling when someone has hurt your feelings, accused of something, or insulted you. It happens to all of us, at some time in our lives. The best way to relieve these feeling of resentment are the Hyper-extension.
IRRITABLE
see Cranky above. Calming, meditative. Lie on a yoga mat and imagine you are floating. Separate all physical sensations from the mind. Rhythmic in/out breaths, pause between each breath.. Slowly start focusing in on your toes, wiggle each toe. Moving up to your feet, ankles until you reach your neck, face and head. Grab both knees into your chest and roll gently from side-to-side.
ISOLATED
Essential to speed up and balance your vortexes Any focused, conscious or meditative exercise. Self hugging, deep swings, self-affirmations and rhythmic Falun Gung breathwork. Repetitive movement such as the 5 Tibetan rites.
JADED
That tired-of-the-world feeling. Been there done that? Low energy and self-determination? Only one thing for it. Rejuvnative and regenerative Total Zen bodywork. Again, the (fountain of youth) 5 Tibetan rites.
LIMP/ LISTLESS
No energy, apathetic and weak. Flaccid and floppy in your upper body. A good time to restore energy and blood flow to the brain with some fun yoga inversion sequences. Sun Salutation is a great way to start, especially Downward Dog transition into Cobra, adding some planks. This will also strengthen and tone your upper body. Remember your rejuvenating rythmic breathwork
HYSTERICAL/PANIC
Breathe ... Breathe ... Breathe ... and Breathe again. Focus in on the chest area, in-breath slowly and surely for a count of 6 seconds, then short staccato out-breaths for each count.
also see Claustrophobia above
MOROSE
Time to spice things up with a fun mood workout. Erect a bar or pole between two fixtures for an improvised bar. Let yourself go with the fun and freedom of plies, leg and calf raises, searing Salsa side-bends and more ...
