Key Quotes From the Show
“The way that we breathe, if we’re breathing in dysfunctional ways, contributes to our stressful feeling, and our stressful feeling contributes to dysfunctional breathing patterns.”
“Breath is neutral in the sense that it is accessible. It’s absolutely democratic, right? We all have access to it.”
“The counting of breaths is amazing. My grandmother used to literally count sheep. What happens when we count? The same part of the brain that ruminates is the part of the brain that counts. You’re skillfully distracting yourself.”
