You can go several days without water.
You can go weeks without food.
You can survive for a very long time without, money, sex, candy or many of other thing we value so much.
But breathing, dear brother or sister. Is incredibly important. Not more than a few moments without breathing and you’ll start loosing important functions in your brain, body, heart and nervous system. Many unknowingly have limited access to their best performance or full brain due to lack of sufficient breathing and disharmony in the heart rhythm. This greatly affect our quality of any experience.
There is a growing number of evidence showing how our breath is like remote control to our nervous system. We can use it, along with a healthy focus/mindset to influence ourselves deep in to the core of health, wellbeing, performance, recovery and stress resilience.
To everyday spend time practicing conscious breathing, will over time give a longer, healthy life and the possibility to understand your inner world and sail the shifting states of the mind.
Also greatly boosting the important brain functions related higher thought and creative ability. The most important keys is to regular allow the breath to synchronise with your heart rate.
The heart rate varies all the time. It’s called HRV or Heart rate variability.
By breathing:
- Rhythmically
- Smoothly. ( even and gentle)
- Heart focused (Use your diafragma in your belly, but put your attention in your heart)
With breathing in healthy rhythms, 10-20 minutes everyday, you practice something called coherence or resonance. Your breath will start synchronising with the variation of heartbeats, creating coherence in your gut, heart - head and whole complex matrix of systems that constitute your whole psycho-physiological being.
A state of healing and incredibly health benefits.
Chemically - hormones, like DHEA rejuvenating/anti-aging. Building you up and gives you a long life. Oxytocin yummy inner hugs of pleasurable wellbeing.
Bio-physically though the powerful electric pulse.
Electromagnetically - in to your environment and around, 5000 times stronger than the brain.
Neurologically - Growing a more intelligent communication within and outside you opening up for great intuition.
...And it activates your brain more fully and the synchronises the cortex in to high state of performance and creativity. Since the vagus nerve bring 90 % of the communication from the body and the heart to the brain and informs what kind of brain activity that is necessary. In case of stress, discomfort, negativ emotions and incoherent heart rate, the brain shuts down and we go fight, flight or freeze. Hugely limeting.
By breathing and heart focus we go full power. AWESOME!
So take a few rhythmic, smooth, heart centered breaths. Before any important task, when you need to perform or recharge.
And everyday, spend some time going in deeper, practice focusing and breathing. Your life will transform.
The heart is also a brain.
The gut is also a brain.
There is neutrons (brains) throughout the whole body, just more concentrated in the head and so on.
