Breathing Is the Key to Staying Present
When a feeling gets triggered, there's a rush about chemicals into our bloodstream that activate the bodily sensations we're talking about. Those same biochemicals flush out of the bloodstream in roughly an upper limit of 90 seconds. So you might have this embarrassment and this redness or whatever rash feeling that comes on your skin because of a situation. Does that come through the brain first? Like it comes through the mind that connects to the brain and then flushes through the nervous system? It can go both directions. And so the notion is that you want to be able to ride one or more short lived bodily sensation waves to stay present to the feeling.
