Episode Introduction:
Ever thought about how breathing too much could be affecting you negatively? Tune in to find out more.
Episode Summary:
In today’s episode of Alchemy with Alea, we’re talking about the different approaches to breathwork and some simple ones that you can practice at home by yourself. We also talk about the correct way to breathe and why it’s important to pay attention to your breathing patterns.
Key Takeaways:
The balanced breath rate is supposed to be five and a half breaths per minute but most individuals in the western society breathe at a rate of about twenty breaths per minute.
Our sympathetic nervous system triggers the flight or fight response whereas our parasympathetic nervous system allows us to rest and digest.
Breathing from your belly is going to help you calm yourself down, feel relaxed, and also sleep better.
Proprioception is the sense that helps us know where we are in space and time even with our eyes closed.
You can practice the 4-4 breathing technique to help when you’re feeling overwhelmed during any time of the day. You inhale for four seconds and then you exhale for four seconds.
