Cyclic Physiological Sighing

5 Minutes of Cyclic Sighing Outperforms Meditation:
Cyclic Physiological Sighing is two nasal inhales to lungs full, followed by a full exhale to lungs empty, via the mouth, pursing your lips as though you are breathing out through a thin straw.

Recent neuroscience research compared 3 methods of the nervous system regulating and found that cyclic sighing was more effective than meditation or other forms of breathing for reducing stress, and improving sleep, heart rate variability, and mood.

Quick Simple technique to use anytime anywhere for resetting
mind body connection

Straight to the point, something I can do every day with helpful cues.

Hi Lynn. I have a question. This practice tends to escalate anxiety unless the first inhalation is more of a controlled ujai breath. However, I’m aware that studies show positive effects on the nervous system with just 5 minutes a day. Longer practice is hard for me these days as I am doing very deep emotional work. I’d like to commit to this practice for a period of time to see how it “fits” for me, but I’d like to be sure I am doing it correctly. Could you let me know your thoughts and suggestions? Thank you 🙏🏽

This was powerful. I feel so much calmer. Thank you.

What a lovely little practice!
Easy to do anywhere, anytime.
Thank you🌷

A really helpful calming and settling practice. Thank you Lynn!

Really effective practice for calming the nervous system, possibly my favourite one. Thank you Lynn

Thank you for sharing this syclic breathing technique to calm down the nervous system . Very effective . I love the way it made me feel . Much love and gratitude 🙏❤️🕊️

This has become my first go to when my central nervous system is in overdrive and/or when I am experiencing a lot of pain. It seems to soften and takes the edges off; and it also keeps me from attaching to worrisome thoughts about my health. Every single time I do this, it relaxes both my mind and my body and I feel much better!!
Thank you so much Lynn, for all of your tracks and teachings on trauma and healing. ❤️🙏🏽🕊️

Glad I gave this a try. Very effective and relaxing. Thank you 🙏🏻

This breathing felt sooo good. I noticed a lot of tension in my neck and this was very helpful.
