Breathe & Flow:
• Powerful Ancient Tummo...
I quite literally just stepped out of a class because I was so dysregulated I was about to just break down and start crying. The beginning of this video helped a lot. Ty.
Potential video idea 🤷🏻♂️ about being ‘perceived.’ I’ve seen some videos online with people talking about how being on the spectrum can make it really difficult being around others because of a constant feeling of being perceived by others, positively or negatively. I really resonated with this and I’d love to hear your views on this!
I’ll keep this in mind! Thanks for the suggestion
I too resonate with this. you're not alone. I haet hate hate being perceived. It's particularly bad at my job where I'm a barista in an open café and people feel comfortable to stare and point at me like I'm in a zoo :/
@@arielsolt5997 I’ve worked as a barista before and yes I found it absolutely exhausting! I’m currently looking for a remote job. I enjoy talking with people but not like in hospitality, it’s too much!
The intro was amazing, I thought the whole video was going to be like that. If you ever make a whole video like that with your full practice routine, I would watch (breathe with?) that over and over.
Thank you so much. I followed along with their video and also thought of the mantra "im not a machine" that you said in this video and it lead to a really profound grieving experience. Felt so much sadness and anger as i was doing the breathwork and cried so much during the meditation part. Once again your video is so relevant to my current life, as im currently working on healing my body from all the trauma it has experienced in my life and finally stop neglecting it
Beautiful. Continue letting all of it out!🌿
WOW I was really hoping you might drop something like this coming off of last week. Your content is so generous and thoughtful, thank you so much for everything you do for our community!
James Nestor changed my life. I started paying attention to my breathing and realized that I wasn’t anxious, I was holding my breath involuntarily.
💯💯💯🤯
I literally was just at the peak of a small anxiety attack and I saw this video and the jelly fish, I love the way jellyfish move. The first part of this video caught my attention and helped me calm down.
I hope this helps a lot of audhd people. Although I worry about those who are gonna struggle to keep the concentration on this exercise, for the duration it requires.
these videos are so valuable. when dysregulated, it can feel almost painful or wrong to do things to regulate yourself again, especially when you need it often. sometimes i would feel silly for needing this much conscious effort to get through a day, but this is so helpful in understanding not only the function of these things, but how to tell when it's working and where to go from there. thank you!!
This is wonderful, I’m always so dysregulated and I feel like I’m wrong or broken or something and it’s hard to find anything on chronic dysregulation I didn’t even know that was a term but it really resonates with me
Jellyfish jumpscare there for me at the start. Lol
breathing instructions make me anxious and hyperventilate
Is it the instructions or the exercises? Can you do the exercises without instruction to see? 💚
Some breathwork techniques don't suit everyone - I find the Wim Hof method makes me more anxious & will bring on a panic attack if I try to keep going with it.
I totally relate, breathwork doesn’t have to come easily just because everyone says it’s good for you.
I dislike guided imagery but breathing on my own helps me.
@@lauraburystedmundsyoga8231 both. as soom as i pay attention to my breathing it's a problem and i heard of a lot of people with this issue that have similar diagnosees
@@blu_heron i've been finding that "have you tried breathwork?" for anxiety is becoming like the "have you tried exercising?" for depression...just bc it works for some people doesn't mean it should be recommended to everyone
(Sorry this is random!) I found a autism coded show/anime: ‘A condition called love’ it’s sooo cute, the two characters are on the opposite extremes when it comes to the story. They may do or say seemingly ‘odd’ things but it makes so much sense from an autism lens (only the 1st episode is enough to get the gist and of the whole story and stop there). A reaction would be so funny!
I like doing the 4-7-8 breath. It's a four second inhale through the nose, a seven second hold, and an eight second exhale through the mouth while making a whooshing or sighing sound. I'll sometimes do it four or more times when I'm trying to fall asleep. Box breathing is usually taught as a four second inhale, four second hold, four second exhale, and four second hold. For regular breathing, it is best to breathe though the nose.
As a yogi in yoga teacher training, thank you for sharing the specifics of how you feel during these pranayama practices ❤ I also get tingly lips and fingers, it's a result of filling your body with tons of fresh oxygen! It happens with practices such as breath of fire, bellows breath and holotropic breath. Calming ones that help me get sleepy include moon breath and alternate nostril breathing. If you're yawning non-stop, that's a great sign that your body is in the parasympathetic state and you're super relaxed! Also having a lot of saliva is a sign of relaxation too. Box breathing has pulled me out of so many panic attacks. These practices have saved my life when I was in a career that was destroying my mental health. I was doing them hourly at one point, during work, in between classes, and while students were present. Heck I taught them breathwork at the same time 😂 It's all perfectly normal to need to do this stuff "often" and it's just a sign that you are healing yourself ❤
The diaphragm is a powerful muscle that can be "worked out" the more you practice these, so do your best and stay consistent. I like to think about what can I let go of as I focus only on my breath.
Great video! I'm AuDHD and I've also found great benefit with breathwork!
the little fishy going the different way from all the other fishies ;() me!!!
I couldn’t sit through this one because my own regulation can’t handle talking about doing something like this and not just doing it, (inside me it’s like starting the motor and then just sitting in the car at the edge of the driveway)…. but I stayed long enough to know this could be helpful to others, and wanted to help drive engagement by commenting. Keep doing what you do! I love all your other content!
The "Breathe & Flow" video linked in the description is guided, so you can do it and watch at the same time. Exercise starts around the 2-minute mark. I paused along the way to adjust to my breathing pace. (I actually paused this video to go to that video and do it.)
thank you soooo much dear one
Beautiful timing, I just watched your last video about 30 minutes ago, and was looking for some practices to do. Just finished a meditation and came across this!! So excited to see what you recommend, thank you for this!!
I use breathwork for dysregulation! It's amazing!
I woke up this morning feeling disregulated but I tried the first breath work you suggested and I feel so much better. Wow. Thank you for sharing that.
The body really is the key, right?
Thank you so much for this! I used to try to do breath work but stopped because I was pushing it too hard. This is a great reminder to get back into it but in a more gentle way
Thank you! Breathe work is amazing, and intense breath work can indeed make one feel high! Light and floaty and almost giddy, and just not so mentally constipated. I notice that when I am focused on my breath, I have almost no thoughts, which is great for me because I have a very anxious mind otherwise.
I can absolutely second that breath work helps with improved interoception.
Don't do it as a routine or just something to checkof but try sensing when you are dysregulated. Good explanation(/contextualisation) about dysregulation from 7:03 to 9:21
1. "Wim Hoff breathing" (the technique probably already existed before him, don't quote me on that, but he brought it to the mainstream)
2. Physiological sigh with breathing through the mouth with 1 to 3 extra sips (at least dr Hubermann calls it a physiological sigh)
3. Cardiac coherence breathing in 4-6 pattern (4 seconds in, 6 seconds out) (This can also be done in 5-5 or 5.5-5.5 or 4.5-5.5, the difference might make a difference for some people and not for others. There are a couple of free breath pacing apps. My favourite is Paced Breathing because the sound for in and out are different, the transition is not too jarring, and the volume decreases gradualy so that you can sense the breath out or back in coming. BUT one of the calming things about ccb can be the counting in which case fully relying on a pacing app takes some of the benefit away)
I had just caught up on your videos as of yesterday. ^^
Thanks for your work on this channel and the messages you want to relay to your viewers.
I'll be keeping in mind the parameters of consistency you mentioned towards the end.
It's something I'm also needing to reflect on as I transition out of school life.
I like your approach to routine. I learned the extended exhale through my yoga lessons and try to use it whenever it seems helpful.
FYI, the extended exhale aka downregulation, less HRV, more N2, O2, CO2 exits the lungs, diaphram & rib cage muscles relax.. .. basically parasympathetic dominance kicks in.
Not me yawning constantly while watching this video 😅 not because it‘s boring, just my body unconsciously copying or something like that 😂 💖
Really appreciate how informative you made this video. I remember a time when I avoided breathwork every time someone from my care team would mention it. I’m much more open to it now, but I wouldn’t have been able to practice it without accepting it first. Still though, I always advocate for my boundaries when talking about these kind of sensory coping mechanisms in therapy.
Thank you very much for this video! I was hoping you might do another video on RSD and how to deal with it in the moment. I'm currently in a training program and am really struggling not to take constructive criticism personally and not shutting down when I feel judged. Sorry if you've talked about this already and I missed it!
I actually haven’t talked about RSD and will definitely keep this in mind when thinking of future vids!
I relate so much and it helps so much how you explain things! I actually try to exhale as SLOWLY as I possibly can. This creates a challenge for my adhd side and keeps my attention and relaxes quite reliably. I like your small animations ad well. Why are such things not part of basic education for kids???!
It is interesting when you said that holding your breath helps get oxygen into the tissues. I have POTS which makes it hard to get enough oxygen into the brain when I am standing up. I find myself breathing hard but every so often I will hold my breath for a while. I wondered why I was doing that but maybe this is the explanation.
Thank you so much 💕
Thank you sm for this 🙏
Great video thank you for sharing, something I've been thinking about a lot lately is flat affect and how its affected my life, I'd love to hear your take on this
I've been feeling so dysregulated lately, so I was gonna try the video but when you said it feels like you're high, it just completely turned me off. I don't like that feeling, is there anything else that could help actually ground me, not make me feel like I'm floating?
Love your videos btw, these chats are so helpful and healing for me!
I use slow breathing to ground me. Also I put both feet flat down on the floor and feel my body connect to the floor.
It's been two weeks and Idk if you'll see this comment, but I'll still try. Idk if you take video suggestions, so you can totally ignore it if you're not interested.
What "neurotypical" traits you have and you're still autistic? (or smth like that)
I'm just interested bc I think I might have autism based on my social experience (total disaster) and sensory issues (less of a disaster Ig? but I can't compare it with anyone so Idk how bad they are), but I'm very empathetic and expressive (which is the total pposite for my brother, especially with his resting b face and you are left to guess if he's in a mood or not and what he thinks about at the moment, but Idk if he's autistic or neurotypical) and I don't exactly have a special interest. Do these things mean I'm not actually autistic and I just have mental issues like mommy issues or anger issues or smth (or just ADHD, I just know I have it like it's extremely obvious)? That what I'm asking myself rn. I mean you've probably said it somewhere in other videos or it's kind of an obvious answer, but I don't think I know enough to be that sure. And maybe there is smth that I didn't even think of but is also considered "neurotypical"? That would be interesting.
Sorry for long comment and hope you have a nice day)))
@wimhof has amazing videos and also an amazing app for breath work like the first one she describes 😊
immediate misophonia trigger😂
I didn't like the breathing noise either.
