Dr. Mo explains how three conscious breaths shift your nervous system from fight-or-flight to calm. Rather than trying to fix everything at once, understanding your underlying patterns lets you change how you actually feel.
We can't control a lot of our physiological processes, but we can alter them. And breathwork is the one way that we can rapidly shift our physiology. After— it takes like 3 conscious breaths to radically change our stress state, for example, to shift us out of fight or flight into a more relaxed parasympathetic state.
What I love about that, Dr. Mo, is you're saying that we actually can participate in our own rescue. There's choices there.
Yeah, and I think like so many people are, you know, they're trying to fix their problem, they're trying to fix their pain, they're even trying to fix their relationships without really understanding the operating, the operating system that has created it. And so once you do start to understand that and apply the rules, you can radically transform your lived experience.
