Bee Breathing To Calm The Nervous System

This simple breathing practice is ancient, our ancestors discovered that the key to calming the mind and body is longer exhalations. Neuroscience later discovered that when your exhale is longer than your inhale, the vagus nerve (running from the neck down through the diaphragm) sends a signal to your brain to turn up your parasympathetic nervous system and turn down your sympathetic nervous system. In other words when your exhalations are longer than your inhalations you move the nervous system into a calm state rather than a state which is ready to react to any perceived threat. Awesome!

Longer exhalations activate the parasympathetic nervous system, calming the mind and body; an ancient practice confirmed by neuroscience.

The Road Not Taken, Poem by Robert Frost

Sleep is vital for good mental health and here's why. A good night’s sleep helps stabilize emotions, whereas a sleepless night puts your body at a disadvantage when fighting off infection, particularly the common cold, and can trigger up to a 30% rise* in anxiety levels the next day. (*Neuroscientist Matthew Walker from the University of California, Berkeley)

Good sleep stabilizes emotions, while lack of sleep weakens the immune system, raises anxiety levels by 30%, and increases susceptibility to the common cold.

Sleep Hygiene For Good Mental Health

An angry state can produce high levels of arousal, and the logical brain can be hijacked when we allow emotions to take over. This is where practicing mindfulness can help because research suggests it can override emotional reactions by increasing self-awareness, decreasing amygdala activity, and reducing arousal. Hilary Heart, a psychotherapist specialising in anger management, can assist in this area. Her website is www.positivenewyou.co.uk
