2️⃣Conscious Breathwork

3️⃣Authentic Connection

5️⃣Metabolic Flexibility

6️⃣Joyful Movement

For more details on these check out my podcast, blog post, or watch my YouTube video. 

When I asked Anders Olsson, this week’s podcast guest, to rank my pillars, he clearly ranked Conscious Breathwork first because if we stopped breathing, we would die in a few minutes. With every other pillar, we can go without for much longer, including food, water and sleep.

Our breath is a fantastic tool to turn to when we are worried or stressed out. In this amazing podcast conversation, we discuss some life-changing breathwork skills to help us overcome whatever negative emotions we may experience.

Here are just some golden nuggets from our conversation:

🌸Every single breath we take, we switch from activating our sympathetic nervous system with our inhales and, by extending the exhales, we activate the parasympathetic nervous system.

🌸We want to use our nose primarily for breathing and engage in slow and rhythmical breathing.

🌸In order to learn to tolerate more carbon dioxide and build our resilience for it, breath holds are recommended.

🌸Avoid using our mouth when breathing, especially during sleep, so mouth taping is highly recommended.

🌸Take 3 slow and deep breaths before you eat your meals and express gratitude.

🌸Eat your food on the exhales.

🌸Do not suppress negative emotions and embrace them and learn from our everyday experiences.

🌸Do not be so rigid about what's right or wrong and sort of go more with the flow and what works for you.
