As part of the circadian rhythm, we hear people say "I'm a night owl" or "I'm a morning lark". Is this concept real? Do we all have the same circadian rhythm or different? We'll...
info_outlineAs a biohacker, knowing how to breath is a power tool to add to your tool box. The power of breathing goes back to the days of yogis and mystics. But in today's science and as biohackers, we've captured the techniques and the application to be purposeful in its usage. Whether your goal is physiological, emotional, spiritual or mindfulness, breathing and how to breath has been well researched to show improvements and effectiveness.
In today's episode, we discussed various methods of breathing, when to use them, why and how.
We emphasized the importance of creating awareness around breathing and the emotional regulation through breathing, improving our immune system and also its application to managing trauma.
If we think about it, there aren't too many tools we can use that will give a multitude of benefits. If your goal is to manage an emotional state, within the same practice, you receive the same benefits to your physiology as well.
If you're unsure of where to start and which technique is right for you, we discussed various methods to choose from and when to apply them. More importantly, becoming aware and tapping into different emotions such as feeling angry, sad, excitement, calmness… When you do this you will realize that each emotion has a very different breathing pattern. Emotionally charged breathing patterns can also impact your mind and body negatively.
Daily self check-ins every 2-3 hours throughout the day allows us to become aware of how we breathe and the current emotional and physical state.
Biohacker Measurements: Take your measurement before you breathe and then after. Blood pressure, pulse ox., heart rate, etc...
If you’re doing the 15 day challenge measure it before and after and share your information with us on our facebook group!
