Learn a New Skill: Take Care of Yourself with Body Mind Breathing
It’s a new year, a new start…“Yay!” you say. A new YOU!
This is your year to look after YOU! This is the year to let go of all last year’s stresses and struggles. This year, you promise yourself, you’re going to sleep better and feel clearer and happier.
But then HOW do you actually DO this? We all have less and less time. The Body Mind Breathing 7 Minute Classes were designed to make it quick & easy to learn a new LIFE skill. Once you have done the classes a few times you can draw on the skill in every situation that works for you.
You can do many of these skills in public without anyone being aware you are doing them. This is great if you’re in a challenging situation at work or in a family situation where you have to manage your emotions.
The techniques are a powerful combination of breath, visualisation, rhythm, and pressure on meridian points, creating an effective mind/body wellness tool.
As you begin the exercise, you fill your brain with super charged oxygen and begin switching off the stress (“fight or flight”) response that fills you with adrenaline. Adrenaline and cortisol are the body’s stress hormones and when there is too much it exhausts the body. The brain constantly signals the release of stress hormones into the body to cope with life situations. When these hormones aren’t released through physical activity (running or fighting), they build up and you feel physically unwell and totally drained.
As the class progresses, the use of rhythm and a grounded soft tonal voice naturally realigns you with your own heartbeat and reduces your blood pressure.
Guided visualisation gives the busy mind something to focus on. This provides the initial circuit breaker, distracting the mind from its habitual chatter and allowing you own body’s natural calming ability, to kick in, switching from “fight or flight” to “rest and digest,” activating the parasympathetic nervous system and relaxing the sympathetic nervous system.
Using gentle but firm pressure to meridian points on the body along with the breathing techniques, you can boost the body’s natural ability to switch off and release physical tension.
These combined techniques calm racing thoughts and give you control over your thoughts, emotions and responses.
The techniques also support the synchronization of both hemispheres of the brain, synchronizing the brain’s activity and helping to stop the buzzing and mind chatter. This non-stop chatter is called “beta brain,” a heightened state of mental activity that tends to get stuck in one-dimensional thinking. Relaxing the brain out of beta is essential for stress management and optimal mental functioning.
