In our latest audio, Buteyko Clinic International founder and Director of Education and Training, Patrick McKeown leads you through guided breathing and relaxation to help prepare you for that all important test or examination.

Millions of us face standardized testing at a variety of times throughout our lives. Whether in school, college, or upskilling at work, the prospect of facing hours of questions designed to test our skill levels can be very daunting.

Going into examinations in a stressed state can make concentration very difficult and can have a negative effect on the final grade. Of course, going into exams tired and unfocused will also cause you to perform at a level below your best.

When the stress of a test or exam gets too much for us, we enter the body’s stressed ‘fight or flight’ response and lose our ability to function effectively. When we are too relaxed however, our responses are slower and we can lose focus and concentration; essential for successful exam results.

This 30-minute video is designed to help ease those concerns, to help calm your body and mind and focus you for the task ahead.

Simply play the video in the weeks leading up to and just before going into the examination. Let Patrick’s voice guide your breathing and set you up for a great test performance and an excellent grade.
