Today we talk with Adam about breathing and the nervous system. Breathing plays a crucial role in influencing the nervous system, particularly the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS is responsible for regulating involuntary bodily functions, including heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and respiratory rate. It consists of two main branches: the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The SNS is associated with the body's "fight-or-flight" response, which prepares the body for action and stress. On the other hand, the PNS is responsible for the body's "rest-and-digest" response, promoting relaxation, rest, and recovery. The way we breathe directly affects the balance between these two branches of the autonomic nervous system. Here's how: 👉 Sympathetic Activation: When we breathe rapidly and shallowly, particularly in response to stress or anxiety, it stimulates the SNS. This leads to an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. This type of breathing pattern can heighten feelings of anxiety, tension, and arousal. 👉 Parasympathetic Activation: On the other hand, slow, deep, and diaphragmatic breathing activates the PNS. This type of breathing signals the body to relax, triggering the relaxation response. It helps slow down the heart rate, lower blood pressure, and reduce the production of stress hormones. Deep breathing can induce a sense of calmness, improve focus, and promote overall well-being. 👉 Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Breathing also influences heart rate variability, which is the variation in time intervals between heartbeats. High HRV is associated with better overall health and a more flexible autonomic nervous system. Slow, deep breathing has been shown to increase HRV, indicating a shift towards parasympathetic activation and a more balanced nervous system. In summary, slow, deep, and diaphragmatic breathing can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and help restore balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system. It can be an effective tool for managing stress, anxiety, and improving overall well-being. Adam Hart is a leading expert in nervous system regulation and how to get unstuck.

How well do you "know thyself" and what are the distractions that keep you from knowing thyself? In this clip with @joshtrentofficial of @wellnessforce , we dive into the aspects of getting to know what's driving you when you are doing and not BE'ing. Josh gives a great practice that involves breath, journaling and BE'ing in communion with a partner. When we engage in practices like these for ourselves, we are CREATING ACTS OF SELF-LOVE! 👀 OUR FULL INTERVIEW HERE https://www.youtube.com/live/gmrxTcGYx0g?feature=share

Love this clip when John Douillard @lifespa talks about the "co-existance of opposites in dynamic activity" meaning it's possible to experience balance in the autonomic nervous system during physical exercise WHEN YOU'RE NASAL BREATHING. I am ALWAYS applying the Ocean Sounding Breath when exercising. It's a truly awesome technique to improve breath patterns in high heart rates AND trigger parasympathetic activity. John shares the research they were able to capture with nasal breathing and a 50/50 balance in the autonomic nervous system as well as flow states. 👉 WATCH FULL EPISODE HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVndgrTF8Ts 👃LEARN HOW TO TRAIN YOURSELF & YOUR CLIENTS IN NASAL DOMINANCE IN FITNESS & EXERCISE WITH OUR 15-HR BREATH AS MEDICINE TRAINING ... 👀 HERE https://www.edharrold.com/breath-as-medicine-fitness-e-learni You can also experience my nasal dominance workouts in @TheBreathSource App 📲link in bio to download OR CLICK HERE https://thebreathsource.pxf.io/edharrold

Alternate Nostril Breathing is a fabulous breathing exercise to help you reduce stress. Alternate nostril breathing, also known as Nadi Shodhana Pranayama, is a breathing technique that has been practiced in yoga for centuries. It involves breathing through one nostril while blocking the other, and then alternating sides. This technique has been shown to have a calming effect on the mind and body, which can be helpful in reducing stress and anxiety. One reason alternate nostril breathing is effective in reducing stress is that it activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the "rest and digest" response in the body. This response helps to counteract the effects of the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the "fight or flight" response. When we are stressed, our sympathetic nervous system becomes activated, leading to increased heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension. By activating the parasympathetic nervous system, alternate nostril breathing helps to reduce these physical symptoms of stress. In addition, alternate nostril breathing can also help to balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Research has shown that when we are stressed, our brain activity tends to be more dominant in the left hemisphere, which is associated with analytical thinking and rationality. By practicing alternate nostril breathing, we can stimulate both hemispheres of the brain, leading to a greater sense of balance and calm. Try it and let me know what you think! I recommend 20 rounds with a round being a complete cycle through each nasal channel. You can see this FULL video @thebreathsource App. First week is FREE!

A regular breathing practice, such as deep breathing or pranayama, can have a significant impact on our nervous system by regulating our body's response to stress and promoting relaxation. This is achieved through a process known as self-regulation and repatterning. Self-regulation is the ability to manage our own emotional responses to stressful situations. It involves regulating our breathing, heart rate, and other physiological responses in order to reduce feelings of anxiety or overwhelm. By practicing deep breathing regularly, we can train our bodies to respond in a more calm and relaxed way to stressors, reducing the impact of the fight-or-flight response and increasing our resilience. Repatterning refers to the process of changing our habitual thought patterns and behaviors. Chronic stress can cause our nervous system to become stuck in a pattern of overactivation, leading to a range of physical and mental health problems. By practicing deep breathing regularly, we can interrupt this pattern and create new neural pathways that promote relaxation and well-being. Research has shown that regular deep breathing can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for promoting rest and relaxation. This can lead to a range of physical and mental health benefits, including reduced anxiety, improved sleep, and increased feelings of well-being. In addition, deep breathing can also help regulate the levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol, in our bodies. This can help reduce inflammation and improve immune function, leading to better overall health. To incorporate deep breathing into your daily routine, try setting aside a few minutes each day to practice. You can start with simple exercises such as inhaling deeply through your nose for a count of four, holding for a count of four, and exhaling through your mouth for a count of four. Over time, you can increase the duration and complexity of your breathing exercises to achieve greater benefits. With consistent practice, you can improve your ability to self-regulate and repattern your nervous system, leading to improved health and well-being.

I call this breathing exercises the 4-Part Breath. It's also known as Box Breathing. I call it 4-part breathing because it has 4 parts: 1) The inhale 2) The retention on the inhale (hold) 3) The exhale 4) The retention on the exhale (hold) Gust today is working with the 4 count in the video. You can work with any combination of numbers that you like. For some just starting out, it may feel challenging to breathe at this pace. You can start with 2 or 3 if you like. For others, you may be able to start with 5 or 6 . . . or 8 or 10. The numbers are only a gauge and should only be viewed in a positive light. The beautiful part of this breathing technique is it teaches us to regulate a healthy breath rate and pattern as you learn to breathe in a rhythm. And, we can put a "purpose" with this breathing exercise. By that I mean, I apply this technique in many different ways. 👉 As a standalone technique to regulate my breath pattern 👉 As part of a sequenced breathing class 👉 In exercise, I use this as part of my warm-up routine OR 👉 It's great technique to use when you're workout is less intense but you still want your body working hard without the risk of injury. For instance, when hiking downhill, it's easier right? Well, what if we use this technique to work our respiratory and cardiovascular system harder while the physical movement is easier. 👉 As a cool-down, this is also a great technique when done really slowly. We can also play with different number sequences. I always use divisible numbers when I use them. So, what if we inhale for 4, hold in for 8, exhale for 4, hold out for 8. That's a bit advanced but you see what I'm saying. Or, sometimes to have a different effect, we inhale for 8, hold 4, exhale 8, hold out 4. So many ways to play with this breathing exercise. You can find this Breathing Technique and many more under my videos in @thebreathsource App under the Thumbnail "Life With Breath Breathing Technique".

In our Life With Breath Expert Series, we joined by Greg Mack. Can't wait to dive into how his career has shifted over the years based on how the industry has shifted. As Founder and CEO, Greg's vision for Physicians Fitness LLC was shaped 30 years ago while working as a lay assistant to chiropractic physicians in a sports medicine clinic. It was during this tenure that he noticed the unfortunate reality that most of the patients of the clinic were there, and frequently returned, as a result of poor physical conditioning. The medical and chiropractic staff encouraged these patients to participate in exercise and fitness programs, but did not have the time nor resources to effectively assess, develop, and implement a safe, global health-fitness plan. Greg wanted to provide a solution. As a graduate of the Navy's Nuclear Engineering School, Greg used his foundation of engineering skills, his enthusiasm for fitness, academic certifications – Medical Exercise Specialist and Personal Trainer, and his experiences working with a wide variety of medical professionals (physical therapists, osteopaths, surgeons), to develop the Mobility Profiling Method. He has developed a variety of novel strategies and tactics for improving the motor control of individuals such that they move better, feel better, and live better. His experience working in such diverse venues as community gyms and medical practices enhanced his awareness of the wide gulf that exists between the medical community and fitness facilities, particularly for those individuals trying to recover from, and manage, a diagnosed disease. This led to the development of a comprehensive documentation and communication system that coordinates biomechanical improvement and fitness programs for individuals with diagnosed diseases from the medical community, the core of Physicians Fitness operations. Greg's involvement in the fitness industry includes authoring articles for fitness and medical publications, presenting relevant topics to fitness professionals at continuing education conferences, and achieving the "Master Level" designation as a personal fitness professional from IDEA. Greg received the IDEA International Personal Trainer of the Year Award for the year 2003 and is currently the Chairman of the IDEA Personal Trainer Committee, an influential body steering important issues related to fitness professionals. He is a member of the Medical-Fitness Network Education committee. About Greg Mack, ACE-CMES, ACE-CPT Greg is also the Founder of, and Lead Instructor for, Exercise Professional Education LLC, a Columbus, Ohio based continuing education provider for several industry certifying bodies. It is the home of the courses: Muscle System Specialist Certification and Ethical Selling for Exercise Professionals. Greg has been in full time practice for over 16 years and his involvement in the fitness industry includes authoring articles for fitness and medical publications, presenting relevant topics to fitness professionals at continuing education conferences, and achieving the "Master Level" designation as a personal fitness professional from IDEA (www.ideafit.com).

According to Ayurveda, not only should our diet change with the seasons, even our pranayama should be tweaked three times a year, says Larissa Hall Carlson, former dean of Kripalu's School of Ayurveda and the co-leader of Yoga Journal's Ayurveda 101 & 201 courses. We met with Larissa last year to discuss the transition from winter to spring (vata to kapha seasons). Now we're going to dive into moving from spring to summer (kapha to pitta seasons). Discover precious tools for enhancing balance while deepening your pranayama practice, as Larissa shares the Ayurvedic approach to dosha-balancing breathwork.

Embodiment is a practice that allows us to connect to the here and now by using our amazing bodies as resources for healing. Our bodies are wise and exceptionally capable at informing us when something is wrong or in need of our attention. Most of us can tell when we need to go to the bathroom, blow our nose, or tend to a wound. These are simple, relatively neutral experiences we are used to attuning to. However, many have learned to ignore or avoid distressing body cues (i.e. thoughts, emotions, body sensations) because it feels unsafe to approach them, they don't know how to process what's happening, they learned it isn't ok to feel their emotions or trust their experiences, or they may be embarrassed or confused about what they're experiencing. Join Michelle Kelly as we discuss how embodiment practices can support growth, learning, healing, and optimal wellness. About Michelle Kelly Michelle Kelly is a passionate optimal wellness practitioner. She dedicated the first 30 years of her life to creating a robust professional dance career. Now, she channels her love of movement and expression in her work as a Clinical Mental health Counselor, Amen Clinics Brain Health Coach, and educator. Michelle founded POW Therapy: Place of Optimal Wellness in Park City, UT and supports her clients by specializing in sex & relationship therapy, EMDR therapy, and holistic health. While working with adult survivors of child sexual abuse at The Younique Foundation, she discovered addressing distress with sexuality was a missing link in many therapy offices. She believes approaching the topics of sexuality and holistic health when treating trauma, relationship distress, and other mental health concerns are essential to sustained healing and enhanced well-being. Approaching what feels scary is a pathway to healing. Michelle chose to reconnect with her dancing roots by founding Fierce & Free MVMT. Fierce & Free MVMT interweaves the worlds of movement & wellness to promote increased resilience, purpose, presence, connection, & joy. She hosts inspiring movement courses with an emphasis on embodiment, attunement, relaxation, connection, and fun. Her forte for tap dancing is nurtured through her offering, Tap Gurus: Enliven your feet. Enlighten your mind. Her passion for healing and optimal wellness is put in to motion during her MVMT meditation courses, where students learn to increase their ability to connect with their emotions, so they can be a guiding light & not something to fear. Michelle practices what she teaches and mindfully chooses optimal wellness so she can create a joyful, healthy, and meaningful life. In addition to her passions for therapy and dance, she’s an energetic outdoor adventurer who loves sharing time in the mountains and beyond with her husband, family, and friends.
