We really depend on adrenaline throughout
the day. We pump ourselves up; we drink too much caffeine; we over schedule ourselves;
wait till the last minute to get things done and we depend on it. Many people want to feel
that urgency in order to actually accomplish something. However, what happens when we live
that kind of adrenaline filled lifestyle is that we’re exhausting our system. We know that short-term stress can be great.
It can really help you get through a deadline and mobilize you. However, if you depend on
that day after day after day you’ll find that your body becomes worn out, your immune system
is impacted and even your mind, your attention and your memory are impaired through that
long-term chronic stress. On the other hand, if you train yourself to
be more calm rather than always in high adrenaline mode you will be saving your energy much more.
Not to say that you shouldn’t have that intensity and excitement in your life and spend a lot
of energy, but you should really be saving your energy and spending it when you want
to for the big major projects in life, the big events. So this is about energy, conserving
your energy. And this is where calmness comes in and it’s something that’s not very much
valued in American society in particular. We value intensity at all times, whether we’re
at work or whether we’re at play. One of the most effective ways to bring calm
into your nervous system is through breathing. Breathing exercises. In one very interesting
research study scientists looked at the link between emotions and breathe. They looked
in particular at whether emotions will change your breathing pattern. So they had participants
come in and they told them to elicit these emotions within themselves and the scientist
then measured how the participants were breathing, how deeply, how long, et cetera. And what
they found was that low and behold each of the emotions that was elicited was linked
to a different unique pattern of breath. The more interesting part of the study was the
second part of the study. Other participants were brought in and we’re simply given the
breathing techniques that corresponded to the emotions witnessed in the first part of
the study. And what they found was that when they asked of those participants how they
felt the participants said that they felt the emotion that corresponded to the breathing
pattern. What this shows is that our breath can significantly
change the state of our mind. So usually if we’re in a very high stress moment it’s very
difficult to talk ourselves out of it. It’s even less helpful if someone else says hey
call me down. It’s just very challenging to change your mind with your own mind, your
thoughts with your own thoughts. However, if you calm your nervous system, which is
what we do with the breath, then your mind can start to calm down as well. One breathing exercise that’s very effective
requires you to just take your right hand and put the index and middle finger of that
right hand right between your eyebrows and then you just want to place your thumb on
your right nostril and your ring finger on your left nostril. And then you want to take
a deep breath in here. You can go ahead and close your eyes. And then close the right
nostril with your thumb and exhale on the left side. And then inhale on the left side;
deep breathe in. And then closing that left nostril exhale on the right side. So you’re
alternating nostrils. Breathe in on the right side again. Close the right nostril and breathe
out on the left. And then breathe in on the left. Deep breathe. Switch and breathe out
on the right. And then continue in this way switching after each inhale taking long deep
and slow breaths. You can do this for about five minutes. And then when you’re ready you
can open your eyes. And you’ll see a shift in the state of your mind.

2:45 – Breathing Technique
I was with her until that bizarre breathing thing.
my left nostil has a congestion, which makes me even more stressed
Its called pranamaya…an indian technique
So what you're saying is…become a Hamon master?
And what if someone just breathes with one of his nostrils?
No wonder there is so many pot heads out there lol
Does it work because of the breathing or just because you are concentrating on something other than your stress?
As a free diver I can totally agree with this!
she is hot ..so here goes another of my adrenaline rush!
I've tried breathing exercises but they did nothing for me.
Breathing through my nose like that made me feel more … Nosey
third…and breathe
Interesting breathing technique! My personal one is:
Breath in through nose for 2
Hold for 8
Breath out mouth for 4
excellent technique. .thank you
I only have one nostril what do I do lol
Its called Anulom-Bilom pranayama.
Omg this was amazing… Thank you!
Babe
indian technique !!
I think this is why people who smoke find relief from stress in having a cigarette. When you take a drag of a cigarette you're essentially forcing yourself to take a deep, full breath, and then when you exhale the smoke that generally doesn't happen super fast as it can lead to a sore throat. Factor in the amount of time it takes to smoke an average cigarette (depending on the brand, strength, length, and the person) and that's about 5-10 minutes of slower, deeper breathing without even realising it.
the only reason she gets away with this bullshit is because she is hot. too bad she has too many whiteknights and losers around her who dont care enough about her to tell her that she is spewing complete garbage.
dooh
wtf
Finland!!! Hurray
Worked way better than i thought it would…
it's called pranamaya.. it's one of the breathing techniques used in yoga.. very common in India.
Breathe Motherfucker!
-Wim Hof
like yoga
I just listen to some asmr and I feel better
In a way she reminds me of the actor Jared in the Sillicon Valey series. How she looks an talks, i dont know 🙂 .
I have too many boogers for this exercise.
OMG THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!
1. hold your breath for 5 mins
2. Die
woah i became lightheaded. i guess my breathing was too intense hahah.
Interesting I tried this, feel like it does definitely calm you down when you actually do it
why are the comments on these videos often so negative? It's like people click on the video just to criticise before they even watch.
sorry i'm in public i can't do this
Yeah, I'm sure this comes in handy to people who don't constantly have allergies…
This is called Pranayama, this is a yoga technique that has thousands of years, FYI. 🙂
thank you
sorry lady , if you want to get payed these days there is no time to relax take a breath ….just finish a 4 pm- 12:30 am shift .
congratulations, you just discovered pranayama (yoga)
When will these people learn to stop stealing ancient breathing techniques from Yoga and peddling it as their own. This is called anuloma viloma pranayama and has been practised for centuries in Yoga. At least acknowledge where you steal it from. Talk about plagiarism of the highest kind!
I CANT STAND THIS ANY MORE
PLEASE GET RID OF THE FUCKING WHITE BACKGROUND ITS FREAKING ME OUT
AND STOP MAKING THEM LOOK INTO THE CAMERA
THEIR LOOK IS SO SCARY 🙁 WHAT THE FUCK
EYES WIDE OPEN
BIG SMILE
THE HORROR
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
your vocal fry makes me stressed
but why? why hold your hand on your face alternating the nose, why not breathe slowly, oujai, or counting, why the nostril thing? is it scientific?
I would be interested in a breathing technique that eliminates vocal fry.
really i have tested this experiment and enjoyed within, thank you a lot
It has really changed my mind's state, i was really stressed.
i highly recommend to experience it… breathe well to live well
Isn't this Kundalini yoga?
Yeah this is so good; its Tibetan breathing technique to connect both halves of your brain. Simple and works REALLY well, trust breathing is life.
i started laughing at some point XD
Whenever I'm stressed (which is pretty much every day) I go running. Just about 40 minutes or 8 km more or less. Works great for me.
I like it when big think gives practical knowledge.
One problem, I can't breathe out of my right nostril at all
Oh look, pranayama! Lol i know that, i read miracle stories about it when i was young. I think it helped though, made me calmer, relaxed, helped me meditate a bit – it was a good way to take some time only for myself, which is the whole point of this. Oxygenating yourself properly is a great side-effect too. You can just breathe deeply, maybe close your eyes, keep the air in your lungs for a couple of seconds, and exhale slowly. Focus on your breathing, so you can let go of all the other thoughts that keep you busy.
hey, does anyone know the actual paper for this research (which she refers to)? interested in reading it.
Its a breathing technique from ancient Indian exercise, called "PRANAYAM".
At least give the credit where you took it from.
can i do this without looking like a moron?
That vocal fry is terrible.
Goku instant transmission? http://images-cdn.9gag.com/photo/a6Lg49e_460s_v1.jpg
i discovered my roght nostril was blocked tot
That 'one experiment' sounds dreadful. 'illicit emotions within themselves'? Which emotions? How? What was the stimulus? What was the context? Where were they did this? Had this one experiment been replicated? Cargo cult much.
It's called "anoolom-vilom" breathing technique! One of many in "pranayama" @ yoga!! At least acknowledge it lady!
Watching this gave me more anxiety.
What a great relaxation technique. Thanks
This is why smokers perceive their smoking as a de-stresser. Your'e (usually) sitting and relaxing and your taking and exhaling deep breathes.
"When you feel life go out of focus, always return to basic of life, breathing. No breath, no life" Mr Miyagi
Here's a fantastic short article on the same topic…https://medium.com/@muricamedia/how-to-be-calm-during-chaos-in-only-48-seconds-654c258c56e5#.sk578ac61
it's anulom vilom pranaym of yoga
I can't close my eyes while driving and I get upset at people who drive like idiots. I usually stop at a gas station or somewhere to get away from the situation.

The exercise she was describing at the end was actually a variation of a breathing pattern used by monks during mediation/yoga.
PRO TIP: C H A N G E T H E S P E E D O F T H E V I D E O to half-speed
Her voice would never calm me. Too much vocal fry at end of sentences. eerg.
I learned this on my own several months ago.
Thank you but how come you don't mention that this exercise is actually an ancient yoga breathing practice – nadi shodhana? Nothing new here?
I don't find this particular exercise very effective atleast for myself due to nasal cycles.
I saw a shift in the state of my penis while watching this girl.
mmmm I don't want to say something rude about this video, I'd better going to smoke something and calm down…
Hata Yoga, it seems, was used for a long, long time: why not mention the origin of the technique you are using?
insane dude, this exercise makes me releaxed as a dead fish.
This video is stressing me out, drawing a sentence or two of information out into a 4 minute video… Holy shit.
Word up! I saw this on the Buddha TV series.
She looks like a psycho with her eyes just before the technique.
Thank you. it works. you talk way too fucking much for no reason but this is very effective
