Pain Release Breathing

Summary

, 7 min

Systema burst breathing for handling intense pain: a quick inhale through the nose and a sharp burst out through the mouth, which jabs the third chakra, a projection of the right amygdala, to release fear and let the brain work. Demonstrated under a painful arm lock, with cycling into slower breaths to limit hyperventilation.
