17. How to use breathwork to calm the nervous system


Listen Later

This episode delves into the significance of breathwork in the healing journey, emphasising its role in regulating the nervous system and achieving presence. With my background in yoga and meditation, I explain that breathwork is more than basic breath control; it's a conscious practice that can restore balance within the body and mind, and even alter the body's stress response.

I also include the scientific basis of breathwork, citing studies on its benefits such as enhancing parasympathetic activity, managing pain, and regulating emotions. My personal anecdotes and practical guides on breathwork practices are shared, demonstrating its accessibility and effectiveness in daily life. My session concludes with a guided breathwork and encouragement to incorporate breathwork into routine self-care for improved well-being.
