About this episode

Katie Brindle shares three advanced techniques to manage stress and achieve a state of bliss.

In Part 2 of her stress response series, Katie Brindle shares three advanced techniques to take you beyond "relaxed yet energised" and all the way into a state of bliss. You'll learn: Spiritual breathing — how to extend the rescue breath by lingering at the bottom of the exhale, charging that empty space with positive energy, and guiding every cell in your body into blissful harmony Kindness as medicine — the Daoist concept of 3,000 good deeds, why kindness is its own reward, and how compassion and forgiveness diffuse the liver energy at the heart of the stress response Crystals in your pocket — the simple practice Katie helped popularise in the UK, why the pericardium and heart points in your palm make this so effective, and how to cleanse your crystal at the end of each day Katie shares how stress isn't the enemy. A little stress strengthens the body. It's how we respond to it that matters. These are simple, portable techniques you can use anywhere, because you're already breathing anyway. If you haven't yet, listen to Part 1 first for the foundational techniques this episode builds on.
