Live Whole Health #313: When the body softens, the mind is at peace
In the United States, a discussion is underway about the body's response to stress. It is known that during intense moments, abdominal muscles tend to tense up as part of the fight-or-flight mechanism. This physical reaction can be countered by softening these muscles, which can signal to the brain that all is safe.
A technique known as soft belly breathing is recommended as a way to practice this. Further details on this topic are available from the source, including information on the role of the vagus nerve in signaling safety in the body and promoting a sense of peace.
