Robbie Bent | How to Use Breathing Exercises to Overcome Stress, Anxiety & Fear (Parasympathetic vs Sympathetic Nervous System) KKP: 375

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Robbie Bent. In an effort to affect positive change and address the problem of loneliness and the detrimental effects it has on our individual and collective health, Robbie built a platform that includes physical spaces, a mobile app, a concert tour and a global community. Othership is a digital product to shift your state whenever and wherever you are. Robbie’s app consists of over 250 guided breathwork classes to harness the power of the breath and build promoting habits. A transformative tool that makes up-regulating, down-regulating, and everything in between easeful, effective, and fun. He also goes on tour with live musical breathwork performances, sort of like a Cirque Du Soleil journey inward. In this episode, Robbie speaks about his rock bottom and what he had to do to turn his life around. He talks about the importance of meditation and what it’s like to meditate for ten hours a day for ten days. Then, Robbie dives into breathwork and how breathing can completely change your state. If you’re looking for a free and easy biohack, breathing can be a simple way to improve your health. Tune in as we chat about Othership, how to digest your food better, and the reason you should conquer your fears.

One hundred people were working for him, his parents and friends had invested millions of dollars, and his entire income was tied up. The company failed, and Robbie had to fire one hundred people. Robbie sold his car, moved out of his apartment, and moved back in with his parents. Plus, Robbie was struggling with addiction. After reading The 4-hour Workweek, Robbie turned his life around. Get The 4-hour Workweek here: https://www.amazon.com/4-Hour-Workweek-Escape-Live-Anywhere/dp/0307465357/benazadi-20 [08:00] What It Is Like To Meditate Ten Hours A Day For Ten Days It doesn't really matter how much you've been practicing; the difficulty of meditating for ten hours is still the same. After the first few days, you start to ease into the routine. We are always turned on, and we are never bored. How often are you just sitting? Almost never. So, meditating is a nice way to interrupt your routine. [10:55] How Breath-Control Can Change Your State and Heart Rate The breath controls our autonomic nervous system. When you're naturally calm, you will breathe slower. You can actually use your breath to trigger your state. If you need energy in the morning, try sympathetic breathing. Parasympathetic breathing will help you relax. The best way to get into the parasympathetic nervous system is by lengthening the exhale and including breath retention. A big breath in will increase the heart rate and energy. If you are nervous, you need long and slow exhales. [18:00] All About Othership And Finding Peak Experiences A peak experience can happen through breathwork. Othership will help shift your state and quiet the thinking mind. During Covid, Robbie created fear release sessions. The app was created to help people who are struggling with meditation. Plus, there’s a physical space where Robbie has created a community to solve the loneliness pandemic. [23:25] How Doing Breathwork Can Help You Digest Food Better When you do slow breathing, you’re triggering the parasympathetic state. You will be sending blood flow from the brain and muscles to the organs. That way, you are preparing your body for digestion. Also, eat without looking at your phone. The best thing you can do is be aware while you’re eating. [26:30] Why You Should Practice Breathwork Before Going To Sleep If you eat something acidic before bed, it can affect sleep. Your body needs to regulate its pH balance. As a result, it starts over breathing This can cause dehydration in the evening. If you wake up with a dry mouth, you are mouth breathing. Something you can try is mouth tape. Meditation and breathwork before bed can help with inflammation, breathing patterns, sleep, and dehydration. [29:45] How Breathing Can Replace Caffeine and Increase Blood Flow The “up” section in Othership is creating a fight or flight response. This type of breathwork will send blood flow to the brain. Plus, it will help you get prepared and increase alertness. Breathing is about shifting your state, whereas meditation is about focus and awareness of your thoughts and emotions. You can shift your state with breathing. Think about breathing if you want to reduce your caffeine intake. [33:40] What Robbie Does To Conquer His Fears The more fearful situations you put yourself through, the more your tolerance will increase. Many people are fearful of rejection, so they don’t try. The more you are comfortable with fear, the more you will be willing to try. Get comfortable with discomfort to find what is available to you in life. AND MUCH MORE!
