Dr. Singh shows how to breathe like a child does: slow, deep breaths into your belly instead of shallow chest breathing. It activates your parasympathetic nervous system and can remodel your autonomic system toward calm over time.
Have you ever watched how a child breathes? Notice how a child's abdomen moves with each breath. Now think about how you breathe when you are stressed. We often breathe shallow and fast using our chest, and our abdominal muscles remain tight. So here's a tip: throughout the day, try to breathe deeply and slowly. Your chest shouldn't move much. Instead, focus on your abdomen expanding and contracting. Now this simple practice is incredibly powerful. It boosts your parasympathetic system, your body's natural calming response, and eases your sympathetic system, the one that handles stress. Now, over time, it reshapes your autonomic nervous system to a more calmer and serene, like that of a saint. And we all understand this stress contributes to so many health problems, and this practice is wonderful for balancing our system. For the full video, friends, check my YouTube channel, Helenzo.
