He explains to me how our breathing is essentially related to our nervous system. “Our way of breathing has a direct impact on our mind and body. When we breathe calmly, we feel calm and stay calm. Often, when stressed, I We breathe irregularly, with fast or short breaths. “In short, if we hold our breath, the rest will continue.
He explains that many people are also stuck in a stressful breathing pattern that he calls the “prototype of breathing.” You are a “chest respirator” that breathes between the ribs, a “reverse respirator” where the abdomen is sucked back towards the spine when breathing, or perhaps (I told him to garble the question on the phone) (Maybe) “Breath grabber”: A person who takes a breath before speaking.
Breathing may also fail as a result of trauma. “We all store past experiences in the unconscious mind that limits breathing,” he says. This can happen after a horrific event, or even through what he calls “daily trauma.” For example, a child screams in class and holds his breath horribly in a lesson. You may have had a stressful week at work. It caused you to squeeze your breath and it became a habit. “People get stuck in a stress response, which can affect sleep and relationships and make you sick.”
Breathe In and Breathe Out recommend checking in for breathing on a regular basis to correct bad habits. One of the lessons is to breathe more through your nose. Sandeman points out that it is literally a container made for breathing. “The nose filters bacteria and pollen in the air and helps create the optimum temperature for the lungs.”
It features a variety of breathing techniques aimed at reducing anxiety, helping sleep, improving digestion, and managing pain. According to Sandeman, just five minutes a day of “calming” exercise has the power to increase parasympathetic activity in the nervous system that causes blood pressure. Drop it. He promises to make better decisions as you feel calm, more creative, and your brain reacts rather than reacts.
The most important health tools are often just below your nose.
