I wanted to share a couple cool things from an Audio book called The Next Conversation by Jefferson Fisher.
The first is a fun quote or paraphrase about awareness and it goes like this,”Awareness lets you take an emotional self inventory, and when honed awareness turns into alignment as you get continuous feedback if your current condition is aligned with the current moment.”
The other is a breath to help reduce stress and to calm your nervous system. The breath technique is to take a full inhale through your nose and then to take an additional sharp inhale to fully fill your lungs before slowly exhaling.
This is the second time this breath has come up recently, the first time in a podcast with Neuro Scientist Andrew Huberman. As Huberman talked about, we often see this type of breathing in dogs, and our late pup Emilio used to do it all the time. The final place I’ve seen this breath is on the entrainment table. I have both seen and experienced this breath on the table and it feels like you can not get air in fast enough. Sarah and I have been having alot of fun with this breath especially doing it in the fashion Mr Bubbas (Emilio)used to do.
