Dear dagnytaggart,

1. Do the relaxation breathing exercises that I have fully explained with steps in an another thread here (post #114812)
(http://tinybuddha.com/topic/relaxation-meditation-techniques/#post-114812)
The benefits are explained in the top section.

2. Along side I also suggest you to do the Donna Eden’s Wayne Cook Posture for clearing your mind.
This technique is definitely going to help you. I’m not saying that you have a health condition but this method is also used for a mind that gets as chaotic as when a person starts to feel dyslexic – meaning: a person wants to say the words A B but due to confused mind says B A. So its also used for issues like dyslexia, ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder where one is not able to concentrate on one thing for even a short amount of time) and stuttering/stammering too.
Our mind is chaotic means the energies in our mind/body are scrambled and this technique will de-tangle or unscramble those energies and is designed to help you focus the mind.
