This book covers the three pathways of awareness that are built
into our bodies, and that can help us to improve the beneficial
aspects of our breathing. It is suitable for all body workers, yoga
teachers, other movement facilitators and anyone who works with
chronic pain. The scientific literature on attachment, Polyvagal
Theory, interoception, autonomic feedback loops and heart rate
variability, point to the crucial importance of the breath. These
pathways can be characterized as 1) the Breathing Bodymap of the
Fingers; 2) the Breathing Interrelationships of our Functional
Diaphragms; and 3) Skin Breathing, or bringing blood to our
capillary beds in precise locations throughout the body.The
benefits of learning these approaches are as follows:* Accessing
these pathways can greatly increase our options as we work to
improve the functioning of our bodies.* These approaches also
deepen our understanding of the inherent wisdom of ancient body
awareness systems such as mudras, yoga and chi kung, and how these
systems can have such profound affects on our physiologies.* They
offer immediate solutions to inefficient and dysfunctional movement
patterns and can be immediately brought into use by professional
musicians and athletes as they perform.* By breathing deliberately,
we can;* interrupt the upsurge of our sympathetic nervous systems;
* interact with our parasympathetic nervous systems to take
ourselves out of a state of "runaway mind" to relax or put
ourselves to sleep; * re-route or repattern pre-existing breathing
patterns and fixations in the respiratory diaphragm itself that
have not served us well; * bring extra blood to areas of chronic
discomfort, helping us to endure adverse circumstances.This book
includes links to voice recordings of three meditations on the
three pathways, as well as a video on breathing and the autonomic
nervous system.
