When we experience feelings that are too big to regulate or handle, our nervous system is often operating in fight or flight, states that are governed by sympathetic nervous system. These states are essential - in life threatening situations.
When our nervous system goes into a fight or flight mode in non-life threatening situations we might experience difficult emotions such as anger, anxiety, and the need to escape.
This extremely simple breathwork signals the nervous system to shift to a state of rest and repair, which is essential for us to feel safe and calm.
