If you have a particular method of breath/meditation and you somehow believe that you invented the wheel with your amazing technique… please take a breath, zoom out, and recognize that breathwork is an ancient practice that doesn’t belong-to nor begin with one man.

There are many benefits of breathwork, but I believe the most impactful is that of increased interoception, which opens the door to increased introspection, self-reflection, gratitude, and connection to purpose. Breathe deep. Slow down. Feel within.

10 out of 10 times, the reminder to breathe is met with gratitude and receptivity. “Thank you. I needed that”. If everyone always welcomes a deep breath, then why is it so difficult to remember to breathe?

Check out Dr. Martin Picard (@MitoPsychoBio) on The Dr. Hyman Show talking about the impact mitochondria have on our day-to-day lives. Dr. Picard’s work is critical to the metabolic psychiatry movement, which is why he was a recipient of a $1.5 million award from @BaszuckiGroup
Researchers at Columbia just proved something remarkable: people who feel optimistic and purposeful have more mitochondria in their prefrontal cortex, and those mitochondria function better. Your mental state literally reshapes your cellular biology. 🧵

Although the study did not specifically evaluate breathing practices, a growing body of research shows that intentional breathwork rapidly anchors attention. It interrupts mental noise, regulates the nervous system, and brings us back into the moment with precision.

A well-known 2010 study explored the relationship between wandering attention and emotional state. The findings suggested that when the mind drifts, overall happiness tends to decline. Presence — even during ordinary tasks — is strongly linked to improved well-being.
