How to Calm Your Nervous System: Soften Your Gaze | Prevent Burnout

[@marjorie6021]

Wow this is so relaxing ...indeed it completely changes the breathing , thank you 🙏

[@thebuteykomethod]

Thank you so much for sharing Marjorie, I’m glad you found it so relaxing. 🙏🏽

[@Nick-yw9ui]

Is it possible to have trouble relaxing and widening one’s gaze during the exercise? And if so what can I do to help my nervous system relax?

[@thebuteykomethod]

This can happen if you are trying too hard. If you like to give things 100% effort then this could be the case. Use less effort. Go slowly and gently. Sit quietly for a few mins beforehand.

[@RedRabbit1983]

It works.

[@thebuteykomethod]

Wonderful!

[@MuseSunflower]

This is one of my favorite practices! I do it on my lunch break or when I’m sitting at the park. It’s so soothing and makes me feel so alert ❤

[@thebuteykomethod]

Me too! I do it all the time, especially when I'm taking breaks from work. I'm glad that you find it so soothing. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Do you have any exercises or advice for Adrenal Fatigue please?

[@thebuteykomethod]

Hey Tanya, I've seen some evidence to suggest that progressive muscle relaxation exercises can help. I've actually just released one on my brand-new relaxation channel if you would like to try it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5KUZoGMq9R1bLs

[@clairewaite6571]

So helpful! I was quite stressed a few months ago and noticed I wasn't really "seeing" my surroundings anymore, just focusing ahead. I feel like this explains why!

[@thebuteykomethod]

Hey Claire, yes we go into tunnel vision when we are stressed, just focusing on one thing. Softening the gaze or stopping to look around is so simple but can be very nourishing. 🤗🙏🏽

[@saroskybird]

Great explanation

[@thebuteykomethod]

Glad it was helpful!

[@madhua7717]

Love this demo. Keep doing these videos Neil, than you brother 🙏

[@Ann-ws2dj]

I find myself always having to take deep breaths

[@thebuteykomethod]

Hi @Ann-ws2dj in that case the Buteyko breathing exercises might help as they help to desensitise the body to Carbon Dioxide. I have some in my channel here: kzbin.info/aero/PLSTo-HpulVrACv7bUGOSErDit8n42rhF4

@@thebuteykomethoddude. This comment just changed my life. My breathing has been causing me all day stress and sending me into panic attacks when I would start to get that tight chest feeling. It’s like I was sent here to see this comment, thank you.

[@thebuteykomethod]

@@dalenlotterhand6137 Amazing! Yes I've been there too, but things are going to get better from here on in. By changing your breathing, you can change your life, like I did. There are lots of resources to help you in the channel and if you need any extra help, I run courses and one to ones on my website here: www.thebuteykomethod.com/. Wishing you all the best 🤗

@@thebuteykomethod thanks for the reply. I have been had a pretty shitty month mentally everything physically has been pretty great.. we really do suffer in imagination. I’ve been listening to Eckhart which has helped me get the ego in check as well as some shrooms lol. Now I’ve found myself back here after realizing my breathing is causing 95% of my problems and this seems to be the only method that helps me, I guess we really all are different. The feather under the nose was a huuuge lightbulb so thank you for that as well.

I just woke up so sorry for that awful punctuation lol I swear I’m American
