Teaching BREATHE. Using My Calm Beat Video

The My Calm Beat App was recommended to me and my husband when he was going through aggressive treatment for Stage IV Tonsil Cancer. As you can imagine, it was a very stressful time for both of us. 

My husband was referred to a Swallow Specialist and even though we didn't think we could handle one more appointment, we went, and were glad we did. The Swallow Specialist exceeded our expectations. She was not only concerned about my husband's ability to swallow, but also our mental health and wellbeing. She became an important part of our support system and ultimately played a role in my husband's recovery. 

I read a book years ago while my Mom was going through treatment for breast cancer called, Love, Medicine, & Miracles by Bernie S. Siegel M.D.. The way she truly treated us with love AND medicine, gave us hope and allowed the miracle of healing to happen. 

The My Calm Beat App no longer exists, but I am grateful that this video is still on YouTube. Watching this visual, focused and slowed down my breathing, and helped me to calm down. I love to use it as a teaching tool and hope you will too. I think it does a good job complimenting Hedgy's Guide to Calm.
