"We create these virtual lions that are chasing us all the time and keeping the stress up." - Ana Melikian In this episode, the host, Ana Melikian, delves deep into the often-overlooked power of breathing. She brings to light how specific breathing practices can significantly increase our well-being and mental fitness. Ana starts by providing a compelling case for why breathing holds such prominence in various meditation traditions. She also draws from her background in psychology, recounting her journey, which included writing an ebook and conducting workshops about the transformative potential of conscious breathing. Ana outlines how breathing is uniquely positioned as both an involuntary and voluntary function. This duality allows it to serve as a bridge between our psychological and physiological states. She describes how modern life's chronic stress can keep us in a heightened state of alert, likening it to having our foot stuck on the accelerator of a sports car due to the over-activation of the sympathetic nervous system. In contrast, by intentionally slowing down our breath, we can engage our parasympathetic nervous system, leading to greater relaxation and recovery. Ana provides practical advice on how to measure and adjust your breathing rhythm, introducing simple exercises such as belly breathing and Dr. Weil's 4-7-8 technique. Ana closes the episode by encouraging listeners to experiment with these breathing exercises and attune to their natural rhythm, as these small adjustments can unlock profound benefits.
