In a 30‑minute live‑stream on LinkedIn, host Andries Mamuwaya interviews stress‑management practitioner Gobind Vashdev. The conversation opens with a vivid description of performance anxiety and quickly pivots to the central claim that breath is the most accessible lever for regulating the nervous system under pressure. Gobind shares his personal backstory – a chaotic childhood, early trauma, a period of homelessness, and eventual training in trauma‑healing – to illustrate how he discovered breathing as a tool for self‑empowerment and built a career teaching it to CEOs, athletes, and disaster‑relief teams. He explains core techniques: nasal breathing, keeping the tongue pressed against the palate, and slow, rhythmic cycles (≈5‑5 seconds, 12 breaths per minute). He links these practices to physiological effects such as parasympathetic activation, vagus nerve stimulation, increased nitric oxide, and improved oxygen utilization. The interview also covers complementary practices: grounding/earthing (balancing positive/negative ions), polyvagal theory (fight, flight, freeze states), and the importance of movement (≈7,000 steps daily, citing global averages). Gobind answers audience questions about coffee vs. matcha metabolism, the “suiceless walking” minimalist lifestyle, and recommends a single high‑impact breathing habit for busy people. He promotes his regular offline workshops across Indonesian cities and online classes (LSD, Buteko Breathing), inviting listeners to follow his social media for further training.
