Body Intelligence – Dive deeper, 6: breath work
by josefine | Jun 6, 2025
View your breath as a friend, and as an indicator on how you respond to different situations in life. If you know your breath you will also instantly know how you feel about something, how your body responds to different stressors, and so on. Learning to breathe deeper, longer and fuller is also learning to control your parasympathetic nervous system response. Breathing consciously is a very accessible way to calm the body down and allow space for reflection on any given situation. Now, let’s breathe together!
