Using the Blue Velcro Strap

From a recent self help program client. A difficult case. I added in the relevant links.

"When I mentioned in my email that I am definitely feeling a difference... I would like you to know that I think that my breathing dysfunction has been more challenging to change than for most people (I think). I should add that I used the blue strap quite a bit for about a month (slept with it for about 14 days, and wore it just about every day for several hours. I think that using the blue strap combined with the 176 program was particularly effective for me.

As soon as I put the strap on I felt calmer and could focus on my work more (I work from home and find it easy to get distracted). For a few weeks, when I would take the blue strap of, in the morning after having slept with it for example, I could sense some 'confusion' in my chest and abdomen about how to organize the next breath, then I would go into high chest breathing again. I sensed that I had to retrain my body somehow, and by working persistently with your program I feel I have been successful in shifting the breath into my lower abdominal area. I feel my lower back, sides and front of my lower abdomen expanding and relaxing with each breath. I particularly notice the sensation with my lower back as being entirely new for me. Chronic jaw tension that I have had for years has completely disappeared (I had suffered a lot from this!) and shoulder tension as well. In general I have a much better sense of well being.

I don't really feel the need for the blue strap now. I am going to continue working with program #176 and the DS daily as well as BBE #1 and BBE #2. I am so pleased with the results I have had that I am hoping to come and take a course with you at some point."
