EP 014 - The Breath Series: The Neuroscience (Part Two) w/ Kieran Maguire
THE NEUROSCIENCE ABOUT HOW WE BREATHE
In the last episode, we covered all things breathing mechanics. In this episode, Kieran goes in depth about the neuroscience around the importance of breathing and how this impacts our overall health.
Our bodies are essentially governed by our nervous systems and one way we can directly influence which system is dominating is through our breath. We can increase our 'readiness' and 'arousal' through breathing but we can also settle down and calm ourselves through our breathing.
This is part two of our three part series about breathing. If you missed the earlier episode, make sure you listen to that and stay tuned for part three.
