With Alexia Clonda of The Mind Breathing Exchange.

Today, our lives are filled with stress. These stresses, exacerbated by the COVID pandemic, affect every aspect of our lives: relationships, work, finances and health. We are living our lives on high alert, constantly dealing with fear, worry, fatigue, burnout, uncertainty and anxiety.

Our thoughts, feelings and stresses change our breathing pattern, which directly impacts our nervous system which effects everything we do. Breathing shallowly and quickly turns the nervous system into hyperarousal—the fight-flight-freeze response. This was very effective for us in prehistoric days when we came across a saber-toothed tiger. In the 21st century, the saber-toothed predator has been replaced by the pressures and overwhelm of things like: work, relationships, studying, being constantly on the go, sickness, confusion, worry, fatigue, anger, burnout, frustrations, being stuck, fear—and on and on. Life has become troublesome and a chore.

The breath is the core feedback loop of the nervous system. Bad breathing switches on the stress response, while good breathing switches on the relaxation response. Science is now showing us why and how good breathing, thoughts and feelings are key to good health. In fact, becoming aware of our thoughts, feelings and breathing and changing these initiates a relaxation response in our bodies, part of a number of physiological changes which in turn have a measurable impact on our mental and emotional states which enable change and transformation to occur.
