Chapter 1: How Do Breathing Exercises Work Against Anxiety?
Many people especially the ones who've been improperly trained or have half-baked knowledge on the matters scoff at the idea of beating anxiety and stress through breathing exercises. However, scientific research has conclusively proven that breath regulation does work irrespective of who does it and where. This is unlike the constant disclaimers on pharmaceutical therapies that claim that the same drugs could have different magnitudes of effectiveness on different people. How, then, do these exercises benefit their practitioners?
The human body has two major classifications under its nervous system: central and peripheral. Among other things, the peripheral nervous system also contains the autonomic nervous system, which controls the activity of organs, glands, and various involuntary muscles and functions of our body, like peeing yourself out of fear.
The autonomic nervous system contains two complementary systems: the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Think of these two as twins, and contrary to the image that the names may conjure, the sympathetic nervous system is the hyper-caffeinated, over-hyped, constantly restless, and mischievous twin while the parasympathetic system is the one that has a calming effect and keeps its sibling from blowing itself up, as it were. The sympathetic nervous system is the part that deals with fight or flight impulses, and is responsible for more adrenalin secretion, accelerated pumping of the heart, and all those functions that are designed to keep your body going in times of emergency without keeling over from exhaustion. Unfortunately, all those nasty functions also make you feel like you're even more panicky, stressed, or anxious.
While it may be for a good reason, these responses are hardly helpful when you're already stressed out and need to relax more than anything else. This is where the parasympathetic system comes in, which smoothly kicks its over-hyper sibling in the fork of its legs and tells it to calm the hell down. It reduces adrenalin function, and basically brings your body out of emergency mode and into normal and relaxed functions.
The problem is as the name should tell you the autonomic systems are self-regulating, involuntary, and not really under our conscious control. So how can we activate the parasympathetic system when we need to relax and calm ourselves?
Whenever we are in a state of emergency or heightened activity, the message that's going from our respiratory organs to our brain is: I'm running out of air, I need more juice, make it happen pronto! But this same message is sent when we're over-stressed about something, which can lead to anxiety attacks or hyperventilation, which sends the same message again, even though that is the worst thing possible at the moment. Our bodies are a bit silly like that, we have a few bugs to iron out here and there.
Out of all the triggers that help control that involuntary system which by definition is not under our control the only thing that we can actively do at that point is to control our breathing to change the messages our body is sending. At such a time, regulating the depth and pattern of our breathing changes the signals being sent from our lungs to our brain, and results in innumerable biochemical reactions happening one after the other that end up releasing calming, anti-anxiety, or simply delicious chemicals like endorphins and their stress-whooping brethren.
