Two questions pop up:
1. Best resources to further read into this / start practicing?
2. How do you know you’d benefit from this / you run sympathetic on adrenaline, if you are 95+% of the time calm, quiet, grounded and happy? Any quick test to check on “need”?
my teacher recommended me the youtube channel "Breath with Sandy"
maybe search for breathwork and nervous system activity if you're interested!
hmm so the sympathetic system is also everything that requires you to move, so it automatically activates when you wake up too for example. many people are dys regulated and tend to go from parasympathetic to sympathetic dominance way too often and way too fast. (mad driving, hating your job, unhappy relationships, constantly being on the phone)
So if you won't get mad over little things easily its a sign that your nervous system reacts less hard on external stuff all the time.
but like a quick test idk. you can observe yourself (heartbeat, warm/cold hands, digestion, pupils?)
the daily stimulus of information is so much higher than for example a farmer that lived 200 years ago so its probably always good to calm yourself with breathwork or just having a relatively calm, meditative life. 🤔
Not a how to book, but a lot of interesting tidbits. TLDR - We are becoming mouth breathers! lol.
