Spectrum Wellness

From the Stoics to Viktor Frankl to the Serenity Prayer, we are reminded to focus on what we are actually in control of: our responses, choices, and attitudes in all situations.

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month. During this month, take a little extra time to look inside and identify any needs you have regarding your mental wellness.
Statistics show that mental health issues are on the rise , so you are not alone. If you need help, reach out.

THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB • - MEDITATION: Broadly speaking, the data show that brief meditations in which you focus on your breath, or on a point just behind your forehead, lead to improved focus, and to some extent a reduction in stress, but mostly to improvements in focus. So much so, that meditation done within four hours of bedtime can disrupt sleep. - BREATHWORK: There are a lot of different kinds of breathwork, but recent data from my lab @stanford.med show the most effective way to reduce stress around the clock is to perform five minutes of cyclic sighing once per day. The technique: You inhale deeply through the nose and then before exhaling, inhale again, even if just very briefly to maximize inhalation of your lungs, then do a long exhale through your mouth until your lungs are completely empty. Then repeat for five minutes; do it once a day at any time of day. Improvements in physiological and subjective measures of stress and sleep have been documented (Yilmaz Balban et al., Cell Reports Medicine, 2023). - NSDR: this is similar to Yoga Nidra and meditation/body scans but different too. Search my last name and NSDR on YouTube for a simple 10 minutes zero cost example. - HYPNOSIS: has been shown in clinical studies to increase neuroplasticity and improve outcomes around specific problems. It is a unique brain state and a powerful one. I recommend the app from @reveri Also see reveri.com These are strongly science Clinical Trial derived. - Of course, there are other breathwork and meditation tools out there. We’ve done HLP episodes on all of these topics; you can find all of those at hubermanlab.com completely free of cost; everything is time stamped, and the site is searchable by keyword - put a term into the search function and it will take you to a list of relevant active links. - Meanwhile, please put any questions you may have in the comments section below this post and as always, thank you for your interest in science! - @stanford.med @stanford @nihgov @nimhgov @nih_nccih @societyforneuroscience @cellpress - #neuroscience #science #ciencia #neurociencia #neuroplasticity #physiology #hypnosis #NSDR #breathwork #meditation
