Part 2 of our November Neuroscience for the Neurodivergent Nervous System series

Your breath is more than air - it’s a bridge between worlds.

In this week’s Mindful Mondays, Ashley Bentley explores the mystical and scientific magic of the breath — how this constant companion connects body and mind, order and chaos, logic and emotion.

Through science, story, and spirit, we uncover why the breath is the only part of the autonomic nervous system we can consciously guide — making it both a biological tool for regulation and a spiritual doorway to presence.

Ashley shares her own journey through burnout and healing, reflections from Alan Watts on the bridge between the voluntary and involuntary, and insights into how breathing can help regulate the neurodivergent nervous system, ease hypersensitivity, and even calm addiction patterns.

This episode also includes a deeply immersive guided breath practice with multiple techniques, woven with vivid visualizations to help you awaken, ground, and return to yourself.

“Every breath a teacher. Every exhale a prayer. Every inhale — a return.”
