Yessss. This is a great way to settle your nervous system.

If you struggle with anxiety, do this several times a day to teach your body how to relax. The key is repetition.

And when engaged in relaxed breathing, do not think! Focus your attention on the breath. If a thought pops up, redirect your attention back to the breath.

The Biology of Trauma

1. *Nervous System:* Trauma affects the nervous system, particularly the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. This can lead to an overactive "fight or flight" response or a dissociative "freeze" response.

2. *Hormonal Changes:* Traumatic experiences can disrupt hormonal balances, such as cortisol and adrenaline. This disruption can impact stress response, mood regulation and overall well-being.

3. *Muscle Memory:* Trauma can be stored in muscles as tension or pain. This phenomenon is often linked to somatic experiencing (SE), a therapeutic approach focusing on releasing physical tension.

4. *Epigenetics:* Trauma can influence gene expression through epigenetic changes. These changes can affect how genes are turned on or off, potentially impacting stress response and overall health.

5. *Brain Structure and Function:* Trauma can alter brain structure and function, particularly in regions related to emotional regulation, memory and stress response. Neuroplasticity allows the brain to reorganize and heal.

6. *Gut-Brain Axis:* Trauma can disrupt the gut-brain axis, leading to changes in gut microbiota, inflammation and digestive issues.
