Mind Architect - About Emotional Regulation
Have you ever experienced an emotional hijacking? A moment when you felt the tension rise, felt heat in your body and blushed? Where your fists clenched, so did your jaw, and you felt tension and agitation in your body from cortisol and adrenaline?
In contentious conversations, moments of emotional hijacking are the tipping point from which the chances of the discussion being between two lucid people with the functional Horseman plummet. That is why it is very important that, when we feel the signs that announce an emotional hijacking, we have emotional regulation strategies at hand, both for the moment and for the medium and long term.
What are the most important of these and how can we use them on a daily basis?

Mind Architect - Brain Food on the Neuroscience of breathing
How has evolution affected the quality of our breathing? What was the airway sacrifice that had to be made to increase the brain size of an increasingly intelligent species?
What are the effects we suffer today of the structural changes our skulls went through to get to their current shape?
We already know that breathing practices can have beneficial effects on our well-being.
Do we know, however, what role each nostril plays in breathing and what effects the flow of inspired air produces on each of them?
Why and how does mouth breathing affect us when we can't breathe through our nose? Learn how we can control the 2 branches of the autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic branch or acceleration and the parasympathetic branch or brake, with the help of the way we breathe. And discover the connection between scientifically documented breathing practices and sports performance.
