Neurobiological substrates of altered states of consciousness induced by high ventilation breathwork accompanied by music
The popularity of breathwork as a therapeutic tool for psychological distress is rapidly expanding. Breathwork practices that increase ventilatory rate or depth, facilitated by music, can evoke subjective experiential states analogous to altered states of consciousness (ASCs) evoked by psychedelic substances. These states include components such as euphoria, bliss, and perceptual differences. However, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the profound subjective effects of high ventilation breathwork (HVB) remain largely unknown and unexplored. In this study, we investigated the neurobiological substrates of ASCs induced by HVB in experienced practitioners. We demonstrate that the intensity of ASCs evoked by HVB was proportional to cardiovascular sympathetic activation and to haemodynamic alterations in cerebral perfusion within clusters spanning the left operculum/posterior insula and right amygdala/anterior hippocampus; regions implicated in respiratory interoceptive representation and the processing of emotional memories, respectively. These observed regional cerebral effects may underlie pivotal mental experiences that mediate positive therapeutic outcomes of HVB.
Seb🌬️ Your nervous system remembers what your mind tries to forget.
That tight chest, shallow breathing, or sudden anxiety? Your body is trying to tell you something important.
Here's a simple reset: Place one hand on chest, one on belly. Breathe in for 4 counts through your nose, letting your belly rise. Hold for 4. Exhale slowly through your mouth for 6 counts.
Your breath is the remote control to your nervous system. ✨

NewSunRisingThank you so much for the boosts, all! Can we keep this going?
Trying one more time in case my doom hasn't driven off like 99 percent of the universe already lol
Does anyone either have, or know someone who has, an interest in breathwork, of *any* kind? Anyone out there who won't treat it as a means to an end, but an experience to be *shared* with others?
I want more than the "it's a tool" school of thought here, and would prefer a relational approach. Or even just...a random person who gets it and doesn't look at it that way. We can chat about it, practice together, I'm down for anything. dms appreciated <3
