The first lesson of the new year
Hopefully, this quote can find a balance for all the irrationality you suffer. It is difficult for us to change the irrationality of the external world, but we can change our hearts.
The peripheral nervous system of the human body is composed of two parts: the autonomic nervous system and the voluntary nervous system. There are few overlaps between the two systems, and breathing is one of them. Breathing is an unconscious action, but it can also be controlled autonomously by the brain.
Many meditation Xi practices emphasize breathing because breathing is the entry point into the autonomic nervous system. Numerous cases in the medical literature and psychiatric literature have shown that some people have deep control over their bodies and can control those activities that would otherwise be autonomous.
The power of the human mind is very powerful. The forebrain sends signals to the rhomboid brain, which then deploys and distributes resources throughout the body. So, how is this process regulated? What's so unusual about it?
In fact, you can complete the rational allocation and distribution of resources by breathing. Relaxed breathing will tell the body that you are in a safe state now. This way, the forebrain doesn't need as many resources as usual. The extra energy can be sent to the rhomboid brain, which can redistribute these resources to the rest of the body.
This is not to say that you can defeat any disease by activating the rhombic brain, but you can use most of the energy you normally need to care about the external environment to improve your body's function.
