Breathwork

People usually recognize one type of breathwork - lamaze. Which is used at one of the most important, critical, and often traumatic events you (or your mom) will experience - birth. If it is found to be helpful in that extreme environment, why are we not finding use cases for it in our daily life? Where else can it help?

“Breathing is the only function of the autonomic nervous system that can be consciously controlled.” - Patrick McKeown.

In a nutshell, breathwork is a biohacking tool. We often use it without thinking. We are quick to take big sighs or long exhales as a way to calm ourself. We naturally do it. Breathwork is just focusing on that natural ability to enhance the reaction. It enables you to change the biological response your body is having to an emotional or stressful situation. When you are stressed out, you go into fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses, which signals your body to produce different chemicals and hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.

Changing your breathing signals to your brain that you are not in danger, changing the biological response in your body, reducing the cortisol and adrenalin while increasing dopamine and serotonin.
