IC07 Short Course 21 - Are You Aware of Your Breathing? - Ana Almeida-Melikian, MA

Description:

Usually, we are not aware of our breathing, yet we are always doing it. Moreover, breathing provides a way of consciously managing processes of an unconscious nature. During this course, a theoretical introduction will be made from breath work traditions such as Yoga, to our actual medical understanding of the breathing process. Practical and simple exercises will be done and clinical applications will be given, including the use of breath work in hypnosis.

Educational Objectives:

1. To describe how breathing can be used to control the autonomic nervous system.
2. To describe two practical breathing exercises that can be used in day-to-day situations.
