Transcripts

Unknown:

No, and welcome to the Borealis experience. I'm your

Unknown:

host Aurora, life coach. And I'm very happy to be spending some

Unknown:

time with you today. It is a gray and windy Monday afternoon.

Unknown:

I hope you're doing well. I hope life feels light and juicy. And

Unknown:

if it does not feel that way, I hope that by the end of the

Unknown:

show, you feel a little bit more connected, a little bit more

Unknown:

grounded, a little better. I want to create a space for you

Unknown:

here where you can recharge your batteries and relax in your most

Unknown:

authentic way of being state of being. If you enjoy my podcast

Unknown:

Unknown:

if you want to give back, if you want to give me a tap on the

Unknown:

shoulder, send me a coffee. I will leave the show notes. That

Unknown:

link in the show notes. Buy me a coffee. And I would so

Unknown:

appreciate to connect with you. So you can also connect with me

Unknown:

over Facebook or Instagram, where you then can watch my

Unknown:

videos. Alright, let's dive into today's topic, anxiety,

Unknown:

stressful times tension? How can we instantly address these

Unknown:

feelings that state of mind that tension in our body? I'm not

Unknown:

going to make it a huge riddle, a huge mystery. It is through

Unknown:

your breath that you can deeply connect with yourself deeply

Unknown:

impact and influence your mind your state of mind. And

Unknown:

literally breathe tension outside out of your body. Your

Unknown:

breath can be controlled by you. Your breath also runs

Unknown:

unconsciously. And I want you to think about this for a second on

Unknown:

how genius This is. i Yeah, you probably know me already. And

Unknown:

you know, I'm totally, totally physiology and anatomy known.

Unknown:

But the breath is really a tool that we totally underestimate.

Unknown:

And then again, think about it. How long do we survive without

Unknown:

breathing. We all know that we can survive a couple of days

Unknown:

without water and probably up to a couple of weeks without proper

Unknown:

food. But without breathing, we're gone within a couple of

Unknown:

minutes. So with this episode here, I want to really emphasize

Unknown:

on how important breathing is and how amazing it is that you

Unknown:

can access your breathing and that you can influence it and

Unknown:

change it if it is not running to your advantage. Now, have a

Unknown:

look at your breathing right now. Maybe you're sitting on a

Unknown:

couch, maybe you're laying down maybe you're driving somewhere.

Unknown:

No matter what you're doing your breath is always with you. But

Unknown:

no matter what we're doing. The breath will adapt to how you

Unknown:

feel to what you think about. Now if we scroll through

Unknown:

Facebook or social media, or if we research something online, I

Unknown:

want you to notice in the future on how shallow your breathing

Unknown:

gets. And you know what our body will take 10 1000s of years to

Unknown:

adapt to that new lifestyle of sitting and scrolling in front

Unknown:

of a screen. But what your body receives as a message When you

Unknown:

start sitting down and scrolling and looking into a narrow little

Unknown:

space and your breathing is getting shallow as stress,

Unknown:

that's the only translation that your body makes. And you are

Unknown:

regulating it, unconsciously, you start breathing in a very

Unknown:

shallow way. Sometimes he even stopped breathing, you hold your

Unknown:

breath because something takes your breath away. And all your

Unknown:

body receives as a signal is threat. It doesn't distinguish.

Unknown:

And isn't that so extremely fascinating. And now if we know

Unknown:

that, we can learn how to regulate our breath, and how to

Unknown:

stay and deep breathing. And when you breathe deeply, of

Unknown:

course, not in a very exaggerated way in a more

Unknown:

natural way. But using your full lung capacity, it signals to

Unknown:

your body trust, relaxation, we can expand here, we can receive

Unknown:

here, all is good, you're more receptive to your environment,

Unknown:

you feel better. So all the other functions in your body are

Unknown:

just running smoothly. When you manage to keep a deep, healthy

Unknown:

breath, of course, not the exaggerated deep breathing where

Unknown:

you feel dizzy after a little bit. So notice, next time you

Unknown:

are sitting in front of your screen in front of your

Unknown:

computer, your phone, whatever it is how your breath changes,

Unknown:

and then hack into it. And regulated and focus on deep

Unknown:

breathing. What you can also notice is when you talk to

Unknown:

different people, this people we're going to make you feel

Unknown:

very relaxed, and you can just breathe deeply, your pupils are

Unknown:

going to widen. You feel like you can receive them, you trust

Unknown:

them, they're not going to harm you. So you have very deep

Unknown:

breathing. And then there's people who make you feel anxious

Unknown:

and irritated, angry, sad, strong emotions that we don't

Unknown:

necessarily want to feel. And that's when our breath gets

Unknown:

shallow. Now, for instance, when someone triggers us, and we feel

Unknown:

we need to react, it's also beautiful tool to count until

Unknown:

five or until 10 To focus into your breath, and to see how you

Unknown:

want to respond. Instead of reacting. In US sometimes we

Unknown:

react, it's kind of how do you say that? And not impulsive.

Unknown:

Yeah, you're impulsive. And it feels good in the moment, you

Unknown:

could shoot back right away. But sometimes, and most of the time

Unknown:

we end up regretting what we said or what we've done

Unknown:

impulsively. So now if you feel yourself agitated and breathing

Unknown:

more shallowly, you know what's going to come next, you know

Unknown:

that. Now you got to calm down first and you got to content or

Unknown:

five, preferably until 10, calm your breath, and then respond so

Unknown:

that you don't have to regret in the future. So it is a very

Unknown:

beautiful anchor to keep you centered, because every time you

Unknown:

know, your breath is becoming short,

Unknown:

and your feelings are gonna intensify. Oh, that means I want

Unknown:

to breathe deeply. Again. I want to recalibrate. I want to order

Unknown:

my thoughts.

Unknown:

Keep my ducks in a row. Another thing that I've learned from Dr.

Unknown:

Andrew Huberman, please follow him on Instagram. He's a genius

Unknown:

when it comes to neuroscience and all that I'm talking about

Unknown:

here today about breath is that he said that he noticed when

Unknown:

people look into a knurled screen. They are narrowing down

Unknown:

their perspective. And again, it will take us all over 10,000

Unknown:

years to adapt to this new lifestyle sitting down and

Unknown:

looking into a narrow space, but back then hunters and gatherers,

Unknown:

we always needed a wide view, to feel safe, we wanted to keep our

Unknown:

kids or relatives. And safety, we wanted to know what to do and

Unknown:

where they're at. And we spent time in nature. So that was very

Unknown:

soothing, as well. So we had an idea of what was going on around

Unknown:

us. And that's very soothing and calming. And now if you start

Unknown:

staring into a little hole, which your phone and your

Unknown:

computer is, something inside of you starts getting agitated,

Unknown:

maybe you've noticed that that when you're too long on your

Unknown:

phone, heat is being created and kind of agitation irritation,

Unknown:

you a little bit more short fused. And this is what he found

Unknown:

out that if you look into a narrow small space for too long,

Unknown:

your body signals to your brain or there is something going on.

Unknown:

And we want to widen our perspective here because that

Unknown:

doesn't feel safe to just be focusing in on something small,

Unknown:

for too long. Another thing that I've noticed as you gaze, you

Unknown:

know, you can have a very harsh, cold and focus gaze. And that's

Unknown:

also when your thoughts are being affected. And you can have

Unknown:

a very soft and kind and open minded gaze and relax the

Unknown:

muscles around your eyes and your mouth and your forehead and

Unknown:

your ears. And your thoughts become softer than as well. So,

Unknown:

all this to say is that through your body, you can severely

Unknown:

influence your thoughts you're in a state, your monkey mind. So

Unknown:

be aware of how you use your body. What you give your body do

Unknown:

you give your body enough water nourishing food, enough oxygen?

Unknown:

And how do you feel with that maybe at the beginning, it will

Unknown:

feel like a waste of time and everything goes faster when I'm

Unknown:

hunched and when I have my eyes narrowed down and when I have my

Unknown:

you know the little the skin on your forehead like kind of

Unknown:

crunchy there have overtop your eyes and I can focus in more and

Unknown:

relaxing will feel like oh I am slacking or not focused anymore.

Unknown:

But trust me you will do your body in the long run a huge

Unknown:

favor. And don't forget, without a healthy functioning body, you

Unknown:

will not be on this planet. So take care of your body as if

Unknown:

your life depended on and and take care of your mental health

Unknown:

as if your life dependent dependent on it. It is so

Unknown:

critical to be self aware and to know what your body needs and

Unknown:

how you feel and where you want to change where you want to

Unknown:

adapt. Because the better you know yourself, the better

Unknown:

decisions you will make for yourself. And the stronger, more

Unknown:

or most valuable member and society you will be in have a

Unknown:

beautiful, deep and positive impact on the people around you.

Unknown:

So on this note, I'm going to take a deep breath through my

Unknown:

nose and then exhale through the mouth. Feel free to do it with

Unknown:

me one more time. Deep inhale through the nose. And then let

Unknown:

it go through the mouth. And relax. Appreciate your body

Unknown:

throughout the day. And yeah, of course, the deep breathing is

Unknown:

through the nose, not through the mouth. Make a little

Unknown:

research there online and look it up on how it is different to

Unknown:

breathe in through the mouth and out through the mouth. Instead

Unknown:

of breathing in through the nose. Exhaling out through the

Unknown:

mouth. All right with this slumped on work. I'm going to

Unknown:

leave you for now. take really good care of yourself. And I

Unknown:

will be back out there on this day
