Module 1 Lesson 4 / Somatic-Autonomic Nervous Systems

Lesson 4 highlights the significance of conscious breathing for optimal health. Many individuals have improper breathing patterns, resulting in shallow breaths. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements, while the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary processes. The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for fight or flight, while the parasympathetic nervous system calms the body. External stimuli can shape perceptions and narratives that impact our reactions. Conscious breathing intercepts this process and shifts negative narratives. It allows access to the physical body and higher awareness, facilitating trauma release. Through conscious breathing, traumas can be released, leading to new perspectives. It anchors us in the present moment and breaks the chain of past perceptions and fears. Conscious breathing enhances our lives by accessing everything we desire within our breath.
