We can create connections, even, you know, remember neuroception sends messages.
I don't even have to say anything.
I can share that understanding with another just through a look.
Yes, and I love front-loading.
I tell people, you need to be proactive about this because in the moment, you're never going to be able to reach for your resources because you're too far into survival, right?
So all of these things we want to practice when we don't need them, right?
Because then we begin to build that capacity.
And breathing is one of those.
Breathing is an autonomic nervous system experience.
So it means that if we manipulate our breath, we can begin to shape our state.
The caveat I would offer is that
we have created breath patterns or our nervous system has created breath patterns in order to keep us either away from traumatic material or keep us away from things that will dysregulate.
And so as we change our breath and play with it, we just want to be careful because we're altering the
pattern the nervous system has created to keep us in a certain place.
So that said, yes, we want to practice.
And the thing that I find the easiest is to talk about sighing, because we sigh spontaneously many times a day.
So it's something that just happens.
And we can intentionally sigh because the research says that sighing interrupts and begins to reset just briefly both our thoughts and our biology.
So it's a brain-body experience of resetting.
And we sigh.
