Thanks for this ((((((Lynn)))))) I have found meditation to be the best way for me personally to get in touch with the way I breathe and to work on unhealthy breathing patterns. It does take some practice, and I found it incredibly difficult at first (still do sometimes), but it's very powerful when you're able to connect with your breath and get into a calming rhythm of "belly breathing" (best practiced at first when you're not in a super-anxious state!)
