Hey Pink,

I am doing this also, it took some time to get it to work and not wig out trying it . What I do to help my breathing is have a private saying, and on my exhale I repeat my mantra to myself, so I am not always focusing on my breathing. I had to do this with my T's help because the breathing alone would wig me out, and I would start to hyperventalate and then start a full blown panic attack. See if that helps you, just pick a saying, something calming to you, I use my T, I ask him to help me as I exhale it works. Also Flowerb has a good thing also, I also use the exhale out the toes and fingers while doing the mindfulness cd, it helps you focus on something other then breathing. The body parts and feeling them takes practice, it took awhile for me also it is something we are so used to NOT doing.....it is hard to unlearn something that we have used as a survival technique for so many years......good luck!!
