Great techinques. I needed so often in the past to to ground myself, and I didn't know how to. Thank you Barbara.
Thank you
I am grateful from the bottom of my heart ❤️ you changed my life and improved my mental health. God bless you.
Thank you for making my day! I'm so glad my channel is so helpful 🙏😀
Thank you so much for shedding light on grounding techniques; it is often misinterpreted as grounding to the earth! Thanks again❤❤❤❤
Wow! That was pretty Amazing! I had no idea these techniques could be so powerful.
Grounding used to be part of my morning ritual. Thank you for these helpful tips Barbara. Time to refresh!
Excellent!
Your session helped me move a bit today. Thank you 💜
It is all very good Barbara you had become my motto of living
Thank you very much. You are great.
joyful experience, joyful grounding.
You’re a good send 💗
I feel so much better and calmer after this. Thank you!
I'm so glad!😀🙏👏
Grounding with perfect timing because it was just when I needed it. Thanks!
So glad to hear that!
Good one. My father is gaslighting. Maybe this will help me to keep me cool without hating him👍
I hope they help!
It's okay to hate him, just don't let that hate take up all the space inside you, remember your goal is to heal
Thank you for your videos. I find them very helpful and in line with what and how I feel.
I'm so glad! wishing you all the best,
First off...Thank you for taking the time to do this step by step instruction on proper breathing. I am in trauma therapy...unfortunately didn't really get the proper therapy until many years after the traumas so my protective mode is fairly rooted in and I have learned to be and stay in the fight or flight mode long after the trauma has-been removed. Breathing has been a tough one as I breath in very quickly and do a lot, a lot of breath holding.
I literally have to make an effort to breath in slowly because even practicing this my breath in is very short and it seems very foreign to me to slow the in breath down and fill my diaphragm. Hopefully in time and a lot of practice it will become more comfortable 😊
Awesome video! Good breathing techniques are really important especially for those struggling with anxiety and panic attacks because they actually work! Nice work!
Thanks! And yes, they work, and they are free and always available!
You have a lovely and soothing energy Mdm Barbara. I cried looking into your eyes. Your energy is very healing. I hope you are okay and blessed. May you receive all the love in the world
❤🙏😃💐 and your comment brought tears to my eyes :)
thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!
You're so welcome!
I now do diaphragmatic breathing four times a day and I find in addition to calming me it also grounds me by which I mean brings me to the here and now . So beneficial..
Awesome!! So glad to hear that!
I just loved those grounding techniques, thank you so much, Barbara. I need to work through them again to decide which I like best! I can see how focusing on specific tasks, like the colour, etc would be really helpful in 'switching ' your brain from negative thoughts etc, from being a passive recipient of intrusive thoughts or low mood, to actively and actually, in the real physical world, seeking out real things, or honing the senses to deliberately concentrate on sights, sounds etc. Wow! So simple and so effective! I also loved the stomping and the outdoor feet and hands techniques...makes such perfect sense!
Thank you so much!
Indeed true! This video is immensely helpful in altering default mode network of brain into task processing mode.
What a great way to describe it!
You are so welcome! So pleased these resonated with you!
@@BarbaraHeffernan Thank you so very much for your relentless effort.
There is a sixth sense, haptic sensing. I do believe that mindfulness sense is being aware of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nerve systems.
So Helpful. I will do this everyday because I find that its fun. Thank you so much. Your calming voice has kind of an effect too on my nervous System. :)
You are so welcome!
Started as about 5 on the 0-10 scale and ended at 10. Thank you so much.
Awesome!!

Good to know... to practice ground techniques. I never practiced. Thank you
I hope they are helpful!
Thank you very much for this video. .You helped me alot. I almost forgotten about the importance of breathing from the diaphragm. I'm a energetic guy but felt quite unpatient for some months and couldn't understand why :D Now I know!
Wonderful! So glad the reminder helped :)
Feeling much more calm after practicing all those techniques that you have provided , thank you so much! By the way, would you make more videos about emotional boundaries? I remember one of the videos that you were teaching us how to practice emotions boundaries, want to learn more about it. Do you mind linking that video to me? I don’t remember which one was.
I think it is this one: th-cam.com/video/GVfQ3quLFK4/w-d-xo.html. And yes, boundaries are an excellent topic!
@@BarbaraHeffernan Thank you so much!
Are there different scenarios for using each one of them differently ?
Can’t get to a doctor for a week so with my symptoms how do I stop scaring myself that I’m dying? I am fighting panic attacks several times every day lately. Like earlier I was sitting doing nothing at all not worrying, feeling ok and then boom heart racing.
Good 👍
pleased to hear you think so!
I might not be normal ig, focusing on breathing or surroundings at all sends me into a worse anxiety spiral. Plugging my ears/listening to music I know or being outside helps though.
Hi Barbara! Is there a playlist with these sessions that are connected?
