Breathing for your Nervous System
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 вер 2020
- This pranayama practice is called Dirga breath. It's a three part breath: belly, ribs, lungs. Deep bellying breathing allows us to access the very bottom third of our lungs that helps regulate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest).

Thank you ❤ you made my day so much easier, when you said "you can return to your breathe whenever you want even if it's just one breathe" i cried
You have helped me so much with this video. Thank you so so much.
Also, severally.
Thank you for uploading these 🙏 I have severe Avolition behavioral symptoms from CPTSD and I’m still in isolation mode trying to re-establish safety after a lifetime of being narcissistically abused by my mom and brother then being re-victimized for over 3 decades, so my sympathetic nervous system is really broken…dissociation is a daily struggle, too.
Treatment for CPTSD is really hard to find and it isn’t covered by insurance beyond anti-depressants (no thanks, all they did was make me more apathetic) and anti-anxiety medication, but after self medicating with that for 30+ years in a structurally dissociative state, it’s now a trauma trigger for me.
Not many doctors understand how reliving those memories of being in a state of dissociation while being manipulated and abused over and over again can devastate a person’s body and mind. I remember how broken my brain was and now I feel how broken my body is.
Anyways, I just want to get better for my son. He’s 13 and autistic, like his mom. I know it’s not easy for him having an apathetic mom that lives and works in her bed.
When I went to intensive outpatient trauma treatment 8 years ago, one of the therapies was yoga and I really enjoyed it. I think it was that and emdr that gave me the moment I needed to snap out of dissociation just enough.
It took another 4 years to learn how to love myself so I could completely snap out of it but now I’m so hyper fearful of being pulled back under that I’m hyper vigilant about when and why I’m doing it. I can bring myself back thankfully but the anxiety from all that hyper vigilance and fear is exhausting.
In other words, I will make very good use of these videos and I can’t thank you enough 🙏❤️
there are some cheaper therapies online. some therapists deal with all kinds of trauma. you just have to look and find a good fit. it’s important to be in therapy. mine is my biggest expand the most important. only pays 40% my insurance, but it’s worth it. i’m so sorry you have suffered so much. you don’t or anyone deserve to be abused. the. that’s how we learn to treat ourselves. dr. ramani on youtube is phenomenal in describing narcissistic abuse. i’m sure you know most of it. FEAR AND ANXIETY are my worst symptoms. but i’m still healing. i 🥺 about everything.
medication for me is bs. anti depressants don’t work. anti anxiety 💊 a joke. ya, my insurance pays 80% of psychiatrist whom was NO HELP to me. he didn’t know me. it’s so nice to hear that you are learning to love yourself. we need to re parent ourselves, since we were never loved or nurtured. i really hope you get this. and try the group IF YOU WANT NOT BECAUSE I SUGGESTED IT. 😉 my anxiety is out of control this morning. i’m worrying about getting a terminal illness ess. i’m sending you love and a big hug.
by the way, 💊 don’t help trauma.
I understand your plight. I just recently found a therapist who specializes in Somatic experiencing. Unlike any therapy I’ve ever tried. This will help to regulate my nervous system and help me when I’m facing some really tough days.
I know I’m where I need to be now, after years of talk therapy, meditation, trips to Dr’s, specialists, naturopaths, functional medicine, biological dentist…. It really is ridiculous how much money has been spent over the years to now know it was my dysregulated nervous system all along. Infuriating and depressing!
thank you Hannah
Thank you for this beautiful Hannah.

Glad to hear it!

Is it normal to keep yawning while doing this?
yes, that means your diaphragm and nervous system is releasing tension and is a good sign. I get this too.
