Beware the giant walking head
Those of us who work in cognitively demanding roles are SOOOO good at using our heads: we are smart, we are resourceful, we can problem solve, we can research, learn, strategize and synthesize 'til the cows come home!

The two sides to our nervous system
The sympathetic system controls “fight-or-flight” responses, it prepares the body for strenuous physical activity. The parasympathetic system regulates “rest and digest” functions, it conserves and stores energy to regulate basic body functions like digestion.

Breathing is direct line of communication to our nervous system: short, fast breaths can switch on the "fight or flight" sympathetic nervous system while deep, slow breaths switch us into the "rest and digest" mode of parasympathetic nervous system.
What is Breathwork?
