Reduce Stress With this Simple Breathwork “Hack”

Stress, anxiety and hopelessness are a widespread disease.

Since the pandemic ended we may have gone back to “normal life”, but survey data suggests we may all be more traumatized than we want to accept.

A survey made by the Harris Poll's meta-analysis for Mental Health Awareness month reveals a critical situation in the U.S. concerning mental health care. While there's an increased acknowledgment of mental health's importance, paralleling physical health, and reduced stigma around discussing it, the actual access to and provision of care lag significantly. The data highlights a wide gap between the need for mental health services and the availability or utilization of such services.

And it’s understandable because the world is crazy.

But you can manage it and avoid it from harming you.

Keep reading to learn a small “hack” to neutralize those feelings and find peace among the chaos…

Instantly.

If you apply what you’re about to learn, it will be the beginning of something amazing for you.

And I’m not just saying that…

Hundreds of thousands worldwide have experienced powerful transformations with SOMA Breath.

“My wife and I both lost our jobs, and the breathing sessions give me an inner strength I can’t explain, and now everything I’ve manifested is coming to fruition!” - Michael Lang.

So let’s get on it!

IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM!

Imagine a gazelle drinking water.

All is peaceful.

Then, the Lion shows up and the Gazelle runs off as fast as it can!

100% fight or flight mode.

Outrun the lion or die…

Talk about stress!!!!

Let’s say the Gazelle fought back, kicked with all its might and survived.

The lion leaves, the threat ends, and the Gazelle goes into Facebook and tells everyone about it!

Haha I’m kidding.

Once the threat is gone, the animal goes back to peacefully munching on grass like nothing happened.

It doesn’t dwell on the danger that just passed or how it could happen again later that day.

It just hangs out in the sun, and lets the nervous system relax, digest and heal.


HUMANS ARE WEIRD!

For some reason, we like to dwell on things.

Whether the threat is present or not… We like to feed the hamster in our minds and it can become mega stressful!

Mental chatter (and especially emotionally charged mental chatter) is like you’re talking.

Without realizing it, you end up breathing more because your brain is very active.

Your demand for energy goes up when you don’t really need it!

Your mind is going crazy and if you’re thinking fearful, anxious thoughts…

Your nervous system is in fight or flight mode producing adrenaline and cortisol, which constricts the blood vessels.

This increases blood pressure, getting blood to the muscles and vital organs quickly!

This is a strategic survival response.

It helps to redirect blood flow away from the skin and digestive system, towards everything you need for immediate survival like the heart and muscles.

Do you see why if you’re stressed out, your body can’t relax, rest nor heal?

You can’t do both at the same time.

So the Gazelle definitely needs the tension in the body to survive the threat!

There’s basically no time to “rest nor digest” because you gotta “run and survive!”

But if you’re sitting down doing nothing, there’s absolutely no point in firing up your survival mode.

So even if you’re trying to relax, your own mind may be playing against you!

In the long run, this constant state of stress can have horrible effects in your health, relationships, career, etc.

So it’s not about the threat. It’s about how you feel when the threat is not right in front of you.
