The Nourishing Breath E-book:
Are your IBS Flare-ups impacting your daily life causing you to feel more stressed?
Have you ever considered the role of your emotional health on your digestive health and well-being? Your body has a unique and wonderful way of communicating with you how it is feeling. It speaks to you through its own voice, your nervous system. When you are experiencing emotions like overwhelm, anxiousness or worry your body can experience these as a stressor, causing your body to step into a Flight or Flight Response.
When stressed, your nervous system communicates to you using actions like tightening, bracing, numbing, freezing, holding. It also sends signals to your body through movements, sensations, pain, breathing patterns, and the rhythm of our heartbeat. These messages can directly impact your digestion health through how they communicate with your stomach, your liver, your gallbladder, your gut-lining and gut wall. This impacts how well you digest your food, how easy it is for you to access and absorb the nutrients in your food and how efficient your elimination of waste is. You may experience this as tension in the gut, bloating, cramping, irregular bowel movements etc.
Just like food, your emotions need to be processed and digested so you can absorb what you need or have learned from life’s journey and eliminate, let go and move on from what is no longer serving you! When we do this with ease, we build a flexible and resilient nervous system which is essential to health and wellbeing. Many IBS sufferers can experience flare-ups in their symptoms during stressful times often feeling “stuck” in repetitive emotional situations or habits, that can have a gut-wrenching effect.
Welcome to the power of your breath!
Your breath holds the power to anchor your body during these times, guiding it back to the Parasympathetic branch of your nervous system known as “Rest and digest” or “Tend and Befriend”. Discover the power of your nourishing breath and its profound impact on your gut health and nervous system with Naturopathic Nutritionist, Intuitive Chef, Yoga teacher & Yoga Psyche Soul Graduate Lorraine Demetriou in her E-book “Nourishing Breath”.
