Brain, Breath, and Body (Fascia) with Brooke McPoyle- Ep. 274

Next Level Human

Brooke McPoyle shares her journey from being a classically trained singer to a golfer and how she discovered the connection between breath, fascia, and the nervous system. She explains how regulating the breath can regulate the nervous system and fascial holding patterns. Brooke emphasizes the importance of slowing down the breath rate to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and reduce stress. She also discusses the role of humming and singing in vibrating the vagus nerve and creating fluidity in the body. Brooke's goal is to find a sequence that allows the body to handle gamma brain waves and optimize brain function. In this conversation, Brooke McPoyle and Jade Teta discuss the connection between brain waves, breath, and fascia. They explore how chronic stress and tension can impact the body and brain waves, and how breathwork and fascia release can help restore balance. They also touch on the concept of gamma brainwave states and how they relate to mystical experiences and personal transformation. Brooke provides resources for self-assessment and offers recommendations for starting the process of regulating the nervous system and releasing stored traumas.

Takeaways

• Regulating the breath can regulate the nervous system and fascial holding patterns.
• Slowing down the breath rate activates the parasympathetic nervous system and reduces stress.
• Humming and singing can vibrate the vagus nerve and create fluidity in the body.
• The goal is to find a sequence that allows the body to handle gamma brain waves and optimize brain function. Chronic stress and tension can trap brain waves in a high beta wave pattern, leading to elevated stress levels and a lack of relaxation.
• Breathwork and fascia release can help release tension in the body and create space for slower brainwave patterns.
• Gamma brainwave states are characterized by a relaxed body, slow and deep breath, and harmonized brain waves, and can be accessed through conscious regulation of the nervous system.
• Endings and beginnings play a crucial role in shaping our perception and experience of reality, and it is important to approach them with gratitude and a focus on the positive.
• Our bodies are electromagnetic frequency beings, and as we harmonize the rhythms of the brain, breath, and body, we can tap into the full potential of our brain and experience a calm and peaceful state.
