Sunday reflections. In the end.. it’s inner peace. Our goal is to help our brothers and sisters learn to become self sufficient, and find the self love and peace within ourselves so that we can all lead with compassion and take care of each other. When you love yourself, you take care of yourself! When you want to be there for others, by taking care of yourself you will be much better fit to take care of them. Healthy is beautiful. Inner peace is beautiful. No amount of money pumped into an industry to try and make us feel like we need to buy something so that we can feel good about ourselves will ever compensate for what you can access if you just look within and begin there. If you’re looking for healing herbs just get them from anywhere. With that said, let’s say a collective prayer for all of our health and inner peace.. love 🙏🏾❤️ - . . . . . . #brigalife #soultrainer #healthylifestyle #health #bigpharma #beauty #medicine #medicinas #herbs #veggies #fruits (en Panama City, Panama) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co3Sd0pr2f2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We have been socially programmed from birth to eat so many things which are not appropriate foods for our biological design. This is where our suffering comes from. This is our disease. Disease is not caught, it is eaten, three meals a day, 365 days a year. ~ Lauren Whiteman _________________________ Hemos sido socialmente programados desde que nacemos para comer muchas cosas que no son alimentos apropiados para nuestro diseño biológico.

If there was something you could do everyday to boost your focus and productivity, feel energized, reduce stress, sleep better, maintain a positive outlook, and support whole-body health, wouldn’t you do it?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It’s for all these reasons, and more, that I consider meditation a foundational pillar to good health. I used to think I didn’t have time for meditation but now I know I don’t have time NOT to do it—it’s become that integral in helping me manage all of my other many responsibilities and passions. Since starting, I’m happier than ever, have found the love of my life, and my business is rocking.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ There are so many resources out there to get started on meditating such as apps, videos online, and my of course Emily Fletcher’s book Stress Less, Accomplish More. ⁣⁣ . . . . . . . #brigalife #meditation #healthylifestyle #mentalhealth #cns #centralnervousystem #instahealth #instagood #medita #meditacion #sistemanerviosocentral (en Panama City, Panama) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoudIRgrMx3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How Your Heart Influences What You Perceive and Fear | Jordana Cepelewicz Quanta Magazine @quantamag — “In the late 19th century, the psychologist William James and the physician Carl Lange proposed that emotional states are the brain’s perception of certain bodily changes in response to a stimulus — that a pounding heart or shallow breathing gives rise to emotions like fear or anger rather than vice versa. Researchers have since found many examples of physiological arousal leading to emotional arousal, but they wanted to delve deeper into that link. The heartbeat provided the perfect means to do so.” “Cardiac activity can be divided into two phases: systole, when the heart muscle contracts and pumps out blood, followed by diastole, when it relaxes and refills with blood. Beginning in the 1930s, scientists found that systole dampens pain and curbs startle reflexes. Further work traced this effect to the fact that during systole, pressure sensors send signals about the heart’s activity to inhibitory regions of the brain. This may be useful because, while the brain must constantly balance and integrate internal and external signals, “you cannot pay attention to everything at once,” said Ofer Perl, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. Experiments even showed that people were more likely to forget words that were presented exactly at systole than words that they saw and encoded during the rest of the cardiac cycle.” — Link in @hhpfoundation bio to article . . . . #brigalife #brigalifexperience #lungs #HHPFoundation #breathwork #breath #breathe #slowbreathing #diaphragm #pranayama #yoga #respira #resonanciaconsciente https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVU-govb4K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Breath retention work (hold on the inhale) can have massive impacts on many and all aspects of our mechanics, physiology, and state (psychology meets behavior). If you deal with anxiety and a lot of chatter or noise there is a place where when we take a stress response and add meditation to it (holding of the breath is a stress response) you can begin to learn a lot. At first (beginner), simply observe the thoughts prior to the urge (NOT STRONG URGE) to breathe again. Learn to be okay without the need to breathe. Learn to separate need vs thought through this process. There is nothing wrong with thinking you need to breathe very early, but what were the other thoughts? You’ll have 7 days a week to play with this and learn. Swipe Right for more advanced ways of applying this. These are simple protocols we use to remove time and the idea of needing to improve, vs allowing to adapt. Enjoy the time learning what happens when you don’t need to breathe. How quiet can you get? 👇🏼 . . . . #brigalife #shift #stress #adaptation #N=1 #suffocationfalsealarm #breathe #knowyourshift #natURe #co2tolerance #co2 #oxygen #physiology #psychology #biology #mouthwideshut #breathing #humanperformance (en Panama City, Panama) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn59p6EtmJK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Estos cerditos tenían alrededor de 6 meses de edad. Esta fue su primera vez al aire libre. Su primera vez respirando aire fresco o sintiendo la luz del sol. Poco después de tomar esta foto, fueron empujados a una cámara de gas en grupos de 2 o 3 en la "fábrica de tocino" de Swickers en Kingaroy. Su muerte no fue rápida ni "humanitaria". Elige la amabilidad, para ellos. Vuélvete vegano. 📷 @brisbaneanimalsave ________________________ These pigs were around 6 months old. This was their first time outdoors. Their first time breathing in fresh air or feeling sunlight. Shortly after this photo was taken, they were pushed into a gas chamber in groups of 2 or 3 at Swickers "bacon factory" in Kingaroy. Their death was not quick, or ‘humane’. Choose kindness, for them. Go vegan. . . . . #brigalife #vegan #vegano #veganhybridathlete #atletavegano #govegan #nocruelty #love #friendsnotfood #amor #kindness #chooselife #plantbased #plantstrong #plantfueled (en Panama City, Panama) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clke3AvtO3O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
