The Hidden Power in a Breath of Gratitude | Rory Ledbetter | TEDxUniversityofMississippi
Is your breathing restricted right now, and would you even know if it was? Professional actor, director, and self-development coach Rory Ledbetter studies what happens when you release your breath and focus on gratitude in moments of stress or panic. Ledbetter explains why we should pay more attention to the connection between our thoughts and our breathing and presents a new technique called Connective Flow that can immediately improve your awareness and reduce your level of stress. Professional artist and self-development coach Rory Ledbetter studies what happens mentally and physiologically when you release the desire to speak. Ledbetter explains why we should celebrate moments of deep breathing in silence and presents new techniques that can immediately calm your mind.
Rory Ledbetter is an award-winning actor, director, filmmaker, and speaking coach. He is an Associate Professor of Theatre Arts at the University of Mississippi, where he trains performers and speakers to engage and utilize their imaginations in various modes of self-expression, and to authentically connect with an audience in performance.
Ledbetter is certified in Fitzmaurice Voicework®, and has broad professional experiences and interests ranging from acting and voice over to directing theatre and film. Rory’s work with speakers is focused on promoting the use of breathing and mindfulness to enhance personal growth and development.

Your words, thoughts, beliefs are as awesome and as handsome as you are... hats off!!
great talk... il take deep breath now..
great job Rory.
very honest an heart touching speach, feels like I found the missing peace ...
Thank You so much Rory. I learnt about Mindfullness a few years ago, however did not know about this technique about our breathing with gratitude. Light and Love to all along your way.
Thank you. You are soooooo luck to have such wonderful friends
This needs more views. This is where anyone should start if they wish to overcome mental issues as well as learning how to control their minds
Good stuff. Breath is key to peace and presence... and enlightenment.
Thank you! Loved this, I also recommend watching a TED talk called 'How to be brilliant everyday' (related to breathing). Cheers

Yes!! That's my favorite Ted Talk!
Love you Rory ... Stay Blessed. . .
Thank you!
With a little more work he can BE in gratitude all the time, it’s been said before to be grateful in all things.
One of the best TEDx Talks I’ve watched
I'm going to try this! :) The research tells us that practising 'gratitude' alone improves our mental health. This is the first time I've heard a talk on practising gratitude aligned with breathing in the western world. It does remind me that this is what Thich Nhat Hanh teaches..... Thank you...

I once knew a Jesuit priest in Ireland who used to say over and over in talks, 'Your breath is your greatest friend' He is deceased now but I need give thanks that I met him in the 1980s as he was ahead of his time. He began Sacred Dance and Yoga in his 60s.
Loved this! Thank you so much. I have been researching breathing online and there is much conflicting evidence but the exercises described here are working for me- no doubt. I started bawling 3 breaths in when he was showing us the exercise- tears of joy and gratitude. Here is another thing to be grateful for. 1000 thanks! It’s brilliant because there is ALWAYS something to be grateful for.
Thank God bless you

Attention haters, just because someone is not a natural at presentation doesn't mean their information is flawed, it could be why they may have studied such a subject ie: strong left brain thinkers are very analytical and can be pensive in nature. More the reason Awesome homework, keep it up
Thank you. Many of us need advice on how to deal with our issues, great or small.
Thank you for the knowledge!
Woow, so very informative and helpful topic. Thanks, for this amazing talk, good job!👍💖😊
very helpful and very useful ... thank you
no - nonsense honesty , inspiring

Travis Bickle it’s just relaxed slow breathing as is comfortable for you except on the exhale you think of something-anything- that you are personally grateful for. It’s about shifting focus from what you don’t have (which breeds fear & negativity) to what you do have. I’ve started to do this and it’s helping already. Traffic was terrible yesterday but I focused on the fact that my car still works. Yay! Good luck!
Excellent!
This is what I have been searching, It is amazing help with mental and release muscle tensions. Thank you so much.

Rory, this is just terrific! Discovered it doing a search on voice work on KZread. I plan to show this to my class. Proud to call you a colleague at SETC. Hope to be in touch again soon. Rob Homer-Drummond.
Just as a reminder: There is a vast science tradition within the eastern (Hindu & Buddhist) cultures since thousands of year. But western science just discovered maybe 3% of that - - - yet.

While scientist may study Hindu and Buddhist traditions their origins are religious not scientific. Brought to you here by technology whose origins are Western and more aptly associated with science.

@@daveunited4493 Dear sir, All hindu practices (on breath and meditation etc) are not religious. For eg. long ago, to make people eat with right hand, religion was linked and made it compulsory. To day all people irrespective of religion are practicing it (eat with right hand) I don't think it is possible to prove (all hindu religious practices) scientifically. But, I am Sure they have strength.( e.g Breath can do wonders).

Love the animation of the diaphragm time stamp 2 min 10sec
Thanks again
I restrict my breathing most often due to poor air quality such as smog and automotive fumes.... and smokers of course.

I can't keep listening to somebody who has learned by heart the gestures that will illustrate his "monologue" and uses them in a such unnatural way, with locked shoulders and chaotic discourse pace (silences, in particular, are not long enough). Would you ever believe such a bad actor?

Many breathing videos (including this one) are contrary to Buteyko research that teaches to restrict deep breathing
I work I. The public and feel like I have to avoid deep breathing as to not catch the myriad of viruses 🦠 in the air
For example tuub

I m doing breathing but nothing working it’s all fake
Full big breathing is not good... Please check the BUTEYKO METHOD for the correct physiology of the breath . Optimal breath is like that of a baby. Lite by means of volume, slow and deep by means of using the diaphragm😘😘😘
He studied with onlh 32 sample set.... Which does not provide reliabe outcomes.....
