No amount of positive thinking or chi qung can reduce stress except the Buteyko method

i notice that whenever i lay down immediately i feel better especially in late night time, no amount of positive thinking can achieve this. the only thing that change when i lie down is the blood flow to my brain.

But lying down and trepanation is not a practical alternative. Then i found out the link that increase CO2 in body can lead to increase blood vessel size.

The body need to maintain a certain amount of co2. During stress, the body overbreaths and there is not enough CO2, so the body reacts by constricting the blood vessels which cause a negative cycle.

The Buteyko method is actually just shallow and light breathing so the CO2 can be inside the body.

Thus Buteyko shallow breathing to increase CO2 in the body is the most practical method. Carrying a plastic bag around is not practical, but you can do shallow breathing everywhere. whenever i do shallow breathing i feel my hands warming up and better.
