Participants often describe experiences of clarity, emotional release and deep connection \u2013 experiences starting to be backed by emerging data.<\/p>\n<p>Breathwork\u2019s mechanisms are rooted in its ability to influence the autonomic nervous system. For example, by modulating the vagus nerve, slow breathwork activates the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system (responsible for \u2018rest and digest\u2019 functions), reducing heart rate and promoting relaxation. Coherent breathing optimises heart rate variability, a key marker of stress resilience.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, fast breathwork methods trigger transient hypoxia and a release of adrenaline, effectively inducing an acute stress response \u2013 a hormetic effect \u2013 where short-term activation of the sympathetic nervous system (the one that triggers the \u2018fight or flight\u2019 response) may build long-term stress tolerance. Techniques such as high-ventilation breathwork may even produce altered states of consciousness akin to those invoked by psychedelics like psilocybin, potentially unlocking psychological insights or emotional release.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Link to the article: https:\/\/psyche.co\/ideas\/i-was-sceptical-about-breathwork-so-i-did-my-own-research<\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Repost from Health &amp; Human Performance Foundation: &#8220;I was sceptical about breathwork so I did my own research.&#8221; by Guy W Fincham, | @psyche.the.magazine Guy W.
