Text me what you thought of the show 😊

Breathwork coach Chris Payten returns to discuss the transformative power of conscious breathing for shift workers and first responders, sharing insights from Roger's recent breathwork facilitator training experience.

• Breathwork is conscious control of breathing patterns versus automatic breathing
• The way we breathe directly impacts our nervous system in a two-way feedback loop
• Chronic stress creates dysfunctional breathing patterns that perpetuate anxiety
• Nasal breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system and provides numerous health benefits
• Mouth breathing contributes to dental issues, sleep problems, and heightened stress responses
• Breathwork helps regulate the nervous system between hyperarousal and hypoarousal states
• Breakthrough breathwork sessions can release trapped trauma from the body
• Simple breathing techniques can help shift workers self-regulate during high-stress situations
• For asthmatics and those experiencing panic attacks, short breath holds on exhale can stop hyperventilation
• Consistency with daily breathwork practice creates new patterns that become automatic responses
