00:00:00 --> 00:00:05 This episode explores a quick and simple breathing technique for anxiety,

00:00:05 --> 00:00:06 but boy,

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08 does it ever have a weird name.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:11 Tune in for the name and the science backing it.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:15 Hello,

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17 and welcome to MOMO 634,

00:00:17 --> 00:00:23 the daily podcast chock full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26 Please like, share, and subscribe.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28 MOMO 634.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31 Motivational moments just for today.

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50 When I saw this technique demonstrated in my Facebook feed,

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53 I immediately searched it to see what it was called.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57 and if it really was as simple and effective as portrayed.

00:00:59 --> 00:00:59 In doing so,

00:01:00 --> 00:01:01 I found out that yes,

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03 it is an actual technique,

00:01:04 --> 00:01:04 and yes,

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08 I was able to discover the name of it so that I could find out more.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12 It's called the physiological psi,

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15 and though discovered in the 1930s,

00:01:16 --> 00:01:20 a study concluded at Stanford last year highlighted the benefits.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:25 I've linked the article about the study below this episode at

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26 momo634.com,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30 and it includes a video demonstrating this technique.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:35 I shared in the recent episode on somatic memories that I'd be

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36 looking into more

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39 breathwork techniques in addition to belly breathing.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:45 Though I love diaphragmatic breathing, I wanted more options.

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47 I have asthma,

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50 so some of the other techniques weren't as accessible to me.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:56 What's interesting about the physiological sigh is that it's

00:01:57 --> 00:01:57 automatically

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59 triggered in some circumstances.

00:02:00 --> 00:02:05 When I first saw it, it reminded me of a toddler crying.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:06 When you watch it,

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07 you'll see why,

00:02:07 --> 00:02:12 as it's two sharp inhales followed by one long exhale.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:13 Apparently,

00:02:13 --> 00:02:17 this is something we do automatically when there's a buildup of

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18 carbon dioxide in

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19 the lungs.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:25 It's amazing how God set that as an automatic response mechanism.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:26 Now,

00:02:26 --> 00:02:29 you know I've got to do the fine print to keep the legal eagles

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30 happy.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34 If you have a condition that precludes some forms of breath work,

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37 please consult your provider before engaging.

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41 The information in this episode should not be a substitute for

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42 medical advice.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48 let me know what you

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50 think of our amazing physiology.
