Calm Your Nervous System Quickly with Physiological Sighing | 5 min guided practice

Описание: Looking for a quick way to shift from sympathetic stress activation to a calmer nervous system? Try this short (five minute) practice doing the physiological sigh aka cyclic sighing. It is a very simple breathwork exercise where you inhale through the nose, take in an extra sip, then exhale slowly and fully through the mouth. Inhale, inhale long slow exhale. If you practice this regularly (just five minutes a day!), the extra time your nervous system is spending in a calmer state can help to shift your overall mood. Yes, please! 🌞

Give it a shot and let me know what you think😊I love feedback, and I want to share what will be most helpful to y'all out there tuning in 💕

💡Fun fact: the vagus nerve is intricately involved with our breath...so anytime you are doing any kind of breathwork, you are working with your vagus nerve! That work of intentionally modulating your nervous system state is known as vagal toning, as your “vagal tone” is the ability of your nervous system to move efficiently through the parasympathetic-ventral vagal-sympathetic spectrum. If you have a smart watch or wearable fitness monitor, a good way to track your vagal tone is to check your heart rate variability when you are at rest- the greater your HRV, the greater your vagal tone. You can also use your wearable fitness devices to check how these exercises affect your heart rate by taking note before and after you do them to see the difference. Neat! I’m a huge nervous system nerd if you can’t tell 🤓🫁💗
