3 Types of Breathwork that can regulate your nervous system 🙏✨
1. Belly Breathing: * Breathe in and out through your nose. * Make your exhale longer than your inhale (twice as long if possible). * Inhale: First fill up your lower abdomen, then your upper abdomen, and finally your chest * Exhale: Slowly, empty your chest, then your upper abdomen, and finally your lower abdomen.
2. Resistance Breathing: * Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. * Exhale: Purse your lips and create resistance, like you’re breathing out through a straw. * Make your exhale slow and long. Attend to the sensations of resistance.
3. Triple Inhale Sigh * Take three quick, short inhales. * First inhale fills your lower abdomen. * Second inhale fills your upper abdomen. * Third inhale fills your chest. * Exhale: Sigh out loud while breathing out through your mouth. * Notice the sensations in your body each time you exhale and sigh, leaning in to feelings of release.
Practice these 3 types of breathwork next time you are feeling dysregulated to cultivate a felt sense of safety.
I love these!! Thank you for your super helpful content!! Could you please elaborate on what you mean by “attending to sensations of resistance” in the resistance breathing technique?
