P.A.C.E. for anxiety attacks (brain gym exercise)
This will calm you down, allowing you to focus on the task at hand. Saved me when I had panic attacks.
PACE stands for Positive, Active, Clear & Energetic.
E. Drink water
C. Brain Buttons: place one hand over the navel. With the other hand, massage the areas on either side of the sternum below the collar bone. Change hand (30 sec/hand)
A. Cross Crawl: Touch hand to opposite knee and vice versa. Do this SLOWLY for approximately 2 minutes. Move shoulders and breathe.
P. Hook Ups - Part1: Sit. Cross ankles. Stretch out arms, cross them and place palms together. Lace fingers and bring hands under and up to rest under chin. Close eyes, inhale through nose and place tongue on hard palette behind teeth. Drop tongue as you exhale. SLOW, STEADY breaths. Do as long as you want.
Hook Ups - Part2: Uncross ankles and arms. Lightly touch fingertips together with both hands. Close eyes, inhale through nose and place tongue on hard palette behind teeth. Drop tongue as you exhale. SLOW, STEADY breaths. Do as long as you want.
Slowly come back to reality and notice what your body feels.

I don’t know rhythmic movement exercises, but I will ask my mum if she has any resources and if she does, make them available to you. if cognitive-behavioral therapy is not helping you, is there any other forms of behavioral or psychological therapy that may help?

We use PACE in my preschool regularly as well as rhythmic movement exercises to integrate the FEAR PARALYSIS REFLEX.
One child, five years old, used to cry for at least an hour after getting dropped off. Since doing the exercises for fear paralysis and pace, he has turned into a happy go lucky guy.

Just letting people know what worked for me. Let me know how you go with your panic attacks. Tai Chi & Qi Gong also helped me a great deal. Thanks go to my Mum for teaching me these therapeutic forms of movement.
I’m glad you like the video

Hi Marie, I knew of …
Hi Marie, I knew of these exercises before I had panic attacks -my mum went to a Brain Gym workshop- but first started using BrainGym to alleviate these strange bouts of anxiety. PACE is the only Brain Gym exercise I used and I did it as described (in the info sidebar). I don’t know about the validity of other claims of Brain Gym but I experienced these exercises dissipate panic attacks many times & watched a class of rowdy children+adults calmed & focused after a minute of brain gym.

I really like this video. Are panic attacks why you started doing these exercises? I am starting Brain Gym because of panic attacks, and I am glad that there are free resources out there for people like me. Thanks so much for posting this!

Thanks for posting this video! My daughter has neurological/trauma issues after living in an orphanage in China for the first 14 months of her life. I have wanted to do these PACE movements with her but we don’t have Brain Gym classes near us. Your demo will help get us started until we can begin Rhythmic Movement Therapy and Neurological Reorganization Therapy in a few months. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Man, I think that any activity perform the same reactions in our brain than these basic actions or better.

I would also like to add that research experiments so far support the P.A.C.E..
For “gusmacoz”: Thank you for your video!! I was looking for something I could share with my sister who was recently introduced to the marvelous world of kinesiology. This will certainly please her.
As Masaru Emoto would say: Love and Gratitude!

I am a teacher who uses brain gym with my class. We PACE every day, although we don’t take quite as long, and we usually do our hook-ups standing. I’ve had tough 5th graders who think they’re too cool for school say to me that Brain Gym is tight! Try chanting something you want to remember while you’re cross crawling. It’s amazing how cross-crawling stimulates your memory!

I’ve experienced the relaxing - or mind clearing - effect of brain gym and I think the main thing, it clears my mind of distractions, allowing me to concentrate on the task ahead. This obviously helps me in learning new things. I’ve watched a teacher struggling to control a room full of hyper kids making a ruckus, suddenly give their undivided attention after a few quick brain gym exercises. Scam?? I haven’t paid a cent for all the techniques I learnt from a practitioner and the book I borrowed.
July 5th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
Anything that …
Anything that relaxes you will allow for better concentration. That doesn’t mean you are any smarter. It doesn’t mean that brain gym is effective at all in getting people to relax and concentrate. Brain gym is nothing but a hoax, a scam and very expensive one at that.

Isn’t great when you realise it isn’t just you, but all of us who need calm in our lives. Peace…Angus

Great Presentation!!! I am taking the class presently and was a bit leary of the possible results but I work with mentally challenged adults and I will use these techniques on myself to help me to relax since at times although a very rewarding career of 25 years there are those times when relaxation of staff involved is a great benefit!!!
Thank You for the video!!!!

Fabulous! It is so needed to see the midline cross in movement to be able to DO them. Simple and elegant; my autistic students have been helped soooo much with these. One mother stated that after her son did them with me, they later had their first calm, sit-down supper in 9 years!
