The Biomechanics of Breathing, Why Nasal Breathing Is So Important, & How Breathwork Can Help You Free Trapped Emotions: Samson Odusanya | Bodies By Brent Podcast #19


Listen Later

Samson Odusanya is a coach, healer, and empowerment guide who discovered the power of breathwork in 2014 and never looked back.

He says that breathwork grounds him and that, during those moments and in the moments that follow, “everything that mattered didn’t matter anymore.” It is a completely different perspective on life that most people never get the opportunity to experience.

 Most people are completely unaware of how they breathe. Whether or not they realize it, the way they breathe affects the way they think, act, and feel. In fact, as Samson says, “Everything is built on breath—not a style, not a trend, but breath. And if we can understand the power of our breath as the core, then we can build anything we want on top of it.”

Breathing can be thought of as your nervous system’s “remote control”. We breathe on autopilot, often not in the most efficient way. Samson invites us not only to take control but to stay consistent in doing so. 

By building and maintaining this awareness, we learn how to be in harmony with our breathing and, by extension, everything that extends from this foundation.

The body knows exactly what to do if we’re willing to get out of the way. “What I love about breath,” says Samson, “is that there is no end to how deep you can go. There is no end to how far you can go.”

After leading us through an eight-minute breathwork session to kick things off, Samson shares the ins-and-outs of the power of breath, including:

●      the biomechanics of breathing

●      why nasal breathing is so important

●      how breathwork can help you free trapped emotions

Samson, who also runs a men’s support group, caps off the conversation by touching on how men can overcome common stigmas and get in touch with their emotions, as well as how women can support their men in being men.
