this is really helpful, i feel constantly stressed out. you being such a calm and cute too is really helpful. i really can't even imagine how calm your friends and loved ones must feel around you haha. thanks a lot. 😍
Great intro video! A couple clarifications: 1. Recent psychological research has demonstrated at least 4 distinct sympathetic states: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. Knowing what our personal response is to sympathetic nervous system activation can be vital to identifying when we need these tools. So, I figure clarification here could be useful for someone who is more of a freezer or fawner. 2. Biofeedback research has indicated that the two main components of breath need to activate the parasympathetic nervous system are that the exhale is longer than the inhale and the breath be rhythmic. This is why I tend to teach this as 3-5-7, but folks who are singers or stage actors will likely find a higher discrepancy within their ability. I had someone who did 1-4-9 for awhile and I still don't know how they did it! Point being, 3-3-3 doesn't meet the criteria demonstrated in research to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. So, I tend not to teach triangle or square breathing for that reason. Definitely find this to be a vital convo for trans folks, pretty much always, though. So, really glad you're bringing attention to it!
Thank you for your comment and for educating me on some of the updates in research. For an upcoming video, I'm excited to delve into the fascinating topic of dorsal vagal shutdown and how it fits into the Polyvagal Theory. Hope you have an amazing day!
Personally I breath in for 3, hold 1, breath out 3, and hold 1 before breathing in for 3 again. The short pause before changing the direction of airflow just helps me slow/calm down better.
