Key Steps to be carried out .
HLC will have practiced crocodile breathing in their daily emotional support to
increase the strength of their diaphragm and their ability to breath
diaphragmatically.
Start before you take your client through this process with some diaphragmatic
breaths and continue to breath this way into you abdomen throughout the
Xperience. You voice will automatically become calm and low and slow. Allow
the pauses.
SCRIPT – See below comments box
Allow 30 seconds minimum of silence when finished. Avoid eye contact when
they first open their eyes by looking down to your lap and demonstrating a
peaceful quiet persona. If need be discourage them from talking too soon by
saying quietly and without emotion as you are looking down with your eyes
closed as a nonverbal gesture of inner focus “lets take a moment to breath and
enjoy the effects of that Xperience”
When you do speak start first with non verbal communication looking up and
looking into their eyes and giving a soft gentle smile of acknowledgement.
Continue to breath diagrammatically. When you do speak make sure it is slowly
and softly and gently maintaining the aura of peace and quiet for a while longer.
