Day 25 Bumble Bee Breath

Bumble Bee Breath is one of my favorite down regulation breaths because it's PLAY-full! This technique is like having your parasympathetic response (opposite of fight or flight) on tap!
The buzz of the bumble bee breath stimulates triggers the vagal tone, stimulating the vagus nerve, which is THE nerve of the nervous system. This buzz stimulates your system the same way chants and mantras in spiritual practices do.
It's all about the buzz and how slowly and long can you keep it going. It's truly that simple. Even when your buzz comes to an end, there's about another 5-10 seconds of exhale to go. You are training your breath to pull the navel up and in so you can learn to fully empty your lungs.
Great breath for kids and nay-sayers because the buzz is fun and the results are immediate.
Find your buzz.
