Psychoneuroimmunology of Breathwork with Dr Kaitlin Harkess
Manage episode 343686455 series 2599903
It’s Mental Health Week, let’s dive into the most cost-effective mental health practice, breathwork.
Here’s what was covered in this week’s episode:
- You can control your breath, as it rests on the border of the conscious and unconscious.
- Stress turns on your fight or flight response, which is an unconscious evolutionary response.
- You can perceive neutral stimuli as threats (like a text message), because inflammation in your body is communicated as danger to your brain.
- Diaphragmatic breathing can stimulate your vagus nerve and induce a relaxation response, which influences neural, endocrine and immune processes.
- Nasal breathing has evolutionary value and can help you cultivate relaxation.
- You can cultivate a relaxation response through deliberate breathing practice.
