Breathing session with Niraj Naik

This is one of my personal favourite breathing sessions as it is a combination of breathing, meditation, visualisation all on very calming music.  

Why not give it a try in the morning when you wake up?

Reduce Stress/ anxiety

​

The breathing technique for quickly reducing stress is two inhales, followed by a long exhale.  This technique is explained in the video by Andrew Huberman.

Keep it in your toolkit for when you need it most!

Vagus Nerve Massage

The vagus nerve is one of 12 cranial nerves that connect our brain and body. It extends from the brain stem all the way to the gut and is a critical part of the parasympathetic nervous system. Unlike the sympathetic nervous system, which governs the fight, flight and freeze response, the parasympathetic nervous system controls resting heart rate, respiration and digestion. It’s the key to unlocking the relaxation response.

“It turns out that many of the activities that we associate with calmness—things like deep breathing, meditation, massage and even the experience of awe—effect changes in the brain, in part, through increasing vagus nerve activity,” said Vernon B. Williams, MD, a sports neurologist at Cedars-Sinai.
