The Power of Sighing
We've all experienced those moments when we let out a deep sigh, a momentary relief from the stress and anxiety that's built up within us. But what if there was a way to harness that relief and experience it throughout the day? That's where breathwork comes in. In a recent clinical trial conducted by the Dr. Huberman's Stanford Medical Center, different brief protocols involving deliberate breathwork or mindfulness meditation were compared. The results were fascinating and showed that a simple five-minute breathwork technique could significantly reduce stress and enhance mood throughout the day.
