497. Breathwork for Brain Healing: The Breath's Role in Healing and Mental Focus


Listen Later

This week on The Unbeatable Mind, Catherine Divine provides her riveting account of how she breathed her way through adversity after a surfing accident left her with a concussion and fractured occipital bone. 

 

Though breathing for most is simply an automatic function of life, mastering breath control can have profound impacts on both mental and emotional states. Mark and Catherine share their valuable knowledge on techniques like box breathing, and alternate nostril breathing. Such techniques hold the power to manage stress and improve overall well-being. Together, they unpack the art of breathing and discuss its largely unrealized potential as a “free medicine” that can absolutely transform your life! 

Key Takeaways:

  • Health Benefits of Breathwork: Discover how consistent breathwork practice can bring about positive health benefits such as weight loss, and balancing the body’s energy systems. 

  • Observations and Adjustments in Breathing: Learn how to identify and correct breathing imbalances and identify changes in nostril predominance over time and seasonal influences. 

  • Nose Vs. Mouth Breathing: Identify the benefits of nostril breathing over mouth breathing, and the relevance of the body’s chakras and energy systems. 

  • Breath Control: Hear Catherine’s personal account of using breath control to manage her recovery after a surfing accident.
