Sound Track - The Right Direction by Shane Ivers
Welcome back to another episode of the Breathe and Think Better Podcast!
Today we explore the benefits of cold water exposure and discuss our personal experience of entering into the unknown and the uncomfortable.
We also discuss the immense value of time and attention and explore ways to increase the quality of both — among other related topics.
The barrel we use for our in-house cold exposure therapy is called The Ice Barrel ™ and just for being one of our amazing listeners, you can get $150 off your very own Ice Barrel. We highly recommend it!
Thank you for being here, and thank you for your continued support.

Game of Attention.
This is a great exercise for anyone suffering from symptoms of long covid, sinus infection, asthma, shortness of breath or pain in your chest.
It begins with 4 gentle hums. This will vibrate our nasal passages, release nitric oxide into our bloodstream and open up our airways.
We’ll also be using sensory attention techniques to sharpen up the way we percieve the world. This can help clear up brain fog or a mood you’ve been experiencing for what can feel like a lifetime.
The goal of this meditation is simple - to help you calm down, catch your breath, and ground you in the present moment.
Practice sitting up in a comfortable position or lying down.
Enjoy.

During this session, we’re going to focus our attention on different parts of the body and consciously relax all the muscles, releasing any tension in that area.
Oftentimes, our perspective is clouded by ruminating on the past or worrying about the future. Mindfulness teaches us how to anchor ourselves in the present. This eliminates all of the stress and worries about the past and future.
In this episode, we’re going to take a few minutes and get in tune with how we’re feeling.
Then, we’ll briefly explore a proven method for cultivating compassion and turn it on ourselves.
In this exercise, Alexandra Cingi guides through using curiosity to overcome anxiety. Find a comfortable seat, relax, and let her guide you to emotional bliss.

If available, do this exercise completely through your nose.
Breath in through your nose, into your diaphragm, and then fill up your lungs.
Exhale through your nose.
We’re going to breathe in for a count of 4. Hold at the top of our breathe for a count of 4. Exhale for a count of 4. Hold at the bottom our breathe for the count of 4.
And we will repeat for 5 minutes.
