As some of you may know from my blog, I’ve listened to 120 hours of Huberman Lab podcasts and gained some incredible scientific knowledge about neuroscience.
If you’re experiencing anxiety, heightened levels of stress, or having a challenging experience with entheogens, this tool is extremely effective.
You can’t simply tell your brain to stop feeling anxious, but you can control it and guide your mind toward immediate relaxation.
The secret is simple: your BREATH.
Scientific evidence clearly shows the effectiveness of two express methods to regulate your nervous system. These methods affect the level of adrenaline in your blood and promote relaxation.
1. Box Breathing
Imagine your breathing cycle as a 2D box. The sides of the box are:
Breathe in
Hold
Breathe out
Hold
Each side is equal in length. Use the same number of seconds (e.g., 5) to breathe in, hold, breathe out, and hold. Repeat this cycle 4-10 times.
2. Physiological Sigh
This technique is 100% natural for both humans and animals. Here’s how to do it:
Take a deep breath until your lungs are full.
Take an additional small follow-up breath in.
Slowly breathe out.
Repeat this cycle 4-10 times.
All you need is 1-3 minutes.
One more thing: remember to use these techniques at the right moment.
P.S. These methods can also help you wind down before sleep and anytime you need to destress.
