Top 10 reasons you should join me this Saturday for Breath through an Autonomic Lens
You are wearing a Heartrate Variability monitor- Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit, – and don’t realize it is not accurate because the signal it is monitoring has not been correctly partitioned into components by any commercial heartrate variability algorithm in the world except one (and that tool is not on your wrist).
You didn’t really understand the Polyvagal Controversy, who is Paul Grossman, etc., but ok, is Polyvagal Theory accurate or not?
You’ve heard that there is a science of breath in yoga, pranayama or something. But why would a science of breath be important?
You’ve noticed that anytime you get frightened, stressed, or upset your breathing changes. Why it that?
You know what your respiratory diagphragm is, but didn’t realize it is filled with receptor sites that bind endogenous opioids.
What is a central pattern generator anyway?
Something about the brainstem. The Pre-Botzinger what?
You didn’t realize that you could look at yourself and clients through the lens of breath as a primary way to determine present moment autonomic state.
You’ve been taught the power of breathing patterns without being educated in the ways that spontaneous breathing can be used clinically to support wellbeing.
The number one reason you should join us Saturday? Breath is THE optimal autonomic signal: the read/write function of the autonomic nervous system. Nothing autonomically in the body changes that is not reflected in the breath. Learn to read and work with breath directly in yourself and others and you are working on a primary autonomic fulcrum.
