Post-Workout Downregulation: Guided Relaxation for Recovery

Post-Workout Downregulation: Guided Relaxation for Recovery

This script guides the listener through a downregulation practice designed to help achieve deep relaxation and recovery after a workout. The listener is instructed to lay down, pay attention to their breath, and gradually relax different parts of the body, from the feet to the face, using deep breathing techniques. The practice includes focusing on letting go of any tension in the muscles and noticing the sensation of the body being supported by the ground. The session aims to bring the listener into a state of calm, slowing down the heart rate and facilitating a deep sense of calm and recovery.00:00 Welcome to Your Downregulation Practice00:09 Finding Your Starting Position00:18 Focusing on Breath and Body Awareness00:44 Deep Breathing for Recovery02:20 Nasal Breathing and Body Scan Relaxation06:36 Final Relaxation and Returning Awareness Follow me on Instagram for exclusive sneak peeks and engaging content on stress, sleep, and breathing: ✅ http://instagram.com/performancethroughhealth If you're intrigued and wish to become a Practitioner of Breath Science, learning how to apply these insights to coaching and consulting, visit: 💻 http://www.breathscience.com.au Prepare to be amazed as we unravel the mysteries of breath and unlock the secrets to optimal well-being and performance.

The Origin of Breath: Discovering How We Breathe

The Origin of Breath: Discovering How We Breathe

This session explores the physiology of breathing, debunking common misconceptions about the primary stimulus for breath being solely carbon dioxide and oxygen levels. It delves into the anatomical structures involved in respiration, including the nose, mouth, trachea, bronchioles, and alveoli, highlighting the role of the diaphragm and its unique characteristics as a skeletal muscle. The core focus is on the medulla oblongata, particularly the preBötzinger complex and its function as the origin of the breath, generating the electrical impulses that drive inhalation and exhalation without requiring feedback. The script further describes the intricacies of breathing patterns at rest and during activities like exercise or sleep, and the involvement of other brain regions like the parafacial nucleus in active exhalation. It emphasizes the complex circuitry in the brainstem that orchestrates the essential, primitive process of breathing, even in individuals in vegetative states, showcasing the critical nature of breathing for survival.

Understanding Nervous System Dysregulation

Understanding Nervous System Dysregulation

Understanding Dysregulated Nervous Systems: A Deep-Dive In this enlightening video, we explore what it means to have a dysregulated nervous system, delving into the concept of nervous system regulation and its components. Starting with the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system, through to the autonomic nervous system, we touch upon their evolutionary development & functions. The main focus however is on the autonomic nervous system, especially the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for arousal and activating the stress response, whereas the parasympathetic nervous system plays a significant role in decreasing arousal and inducing a restful state. The balance and interactions between these systems, the functioning of the vagus nerve, and the Polyvagal theory by Stephen Porges is also discussed. We address how experiencing various state changes and traumas can impact these systems, leading to a dysregulated nervous system. Additionally, we shed light on how dysregulated nervous systems can lead to mental health issues, mainly due to a disconnect between physiological sensations and their psychological implications. An exploration on the mind body connection is promised in the next video. 00:00 Introduction to Nervous System Regulation 00:17 Understanding the Central and Peripheral Nervous System 01:12 Exploring the Autonomic Nervous System 01:25 The Role of the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous System 02:14 The Concept of a Dysregulated Nervous System 02:20 The Importance of the Vagus Nerve 02:57 Understanding the Polyvagal Theory 03:23 The Impact of Stress and Trauma on the Nervous System 06:31 The Consequences of a Dysregulated Nervous System 07:24 The Mind-Body Disconnect and Mental Health 07:58 Conclusion and Preview of Next Video Join me on this exciting journey as I delve into the captivating world of breath science.
