Hi Lucas! @yogabody Thank you for this amazing video, I have already started implementing these exercises. For the cold therapy, I was a bit confused on the protocol...do you suggest 15second hold with the ice pack per side for just one round or is it better to do it for multiple rounds per side?

Are you familiar with Datis Kharrazian and his use of gargling and coffee enemas to increase vagal tone? He suggests their use to improve digestion and eliminate constipation.

@@samalaura7304 I had an SVT episode last year that sent me to the hospital via ambulance. HR was 170 bpm for over an hour and half, heart pounding so hard it was causing my entire torso to visibly move side to side with each beat. It was exhausting and frightening and scared my poor daughter half to death. The ER dr was fortunately hip to alternative ways to stop it (the conventional way is a drug that causes your heart to stop and literally makes you feel that you're dying). He had me perform a valsalva maneuver that didn't work the first time but worked wonderfully on the second try. They reclined the bed way back and I think had me pull my knees into my chest. I took a deep breath, held it, and as they raised the bed I was to bear down as if giving birth. On the second try my heart rate normalized and after an hour or so of observation they released me with instructions to follow up with my regular dr. I looked up ways to stop it (reset my heart) naturally on KZread and Google and found various methods such as the ones explained here. I don't ever want to experience an SVT episode again but hopefully now I'll have the knowledge I need to stop it in its tracks quickly and without a trip to the ER.

@@sl4983 in a nutshell, the electrical firing in the heart goes haywire and causes the heart to beat too fast, in my case 2.5x the normal rate. It can happen at any age, even little kids. The heart has to be "reset" using either drugs or certain techniques as described here. My first episode was at age 49 when I was diagnosed, see my previous response for details. You'll know it's happening because your heart feels like it's going to beat out of your chest, as if you've been sprinting. I haven't had one since (it happened 3/2021) but I have palpitations frequently, sometimes it feels like a fish flopping in my chest. I cut out caffeine, avoid stress, do breathing and meditation techniques, and try to get enough sleep to try to avoid having it happen again. I've had heart palpitations/fluttering since my late teens and have always been sensitive to stimulants and avoided too much caffeine because it induced heart palpitations and jitteriness. I suspect I've had it for years but hadn't had a severe prolonged episode until last year, I think due to mismanaged stress, pent up anger, and a little too much caffeine use (which in my case is 1 small homemade espresso drink per day that I abruptly stopped after my episode). I was either born with it and it got worse over the years or I developed it in my teens and it's worsened, I don't know, but it's not fun and I don't recommend it.

Nice one, I’am a free diver and we always try to reduce our heart rate. We also use a ballon for some equalizing routines, but carefully if you inhale from a normal balloon, they’re some special powder inside that you don’t want into your lungs. If you like the Ballone technique use a special drugstore ballon from otovent or otobar. Also a really good routine to lower your heart rate is a special breathing technique, 5sec in 10 sec slowly out, after 1min your slowly relaxed, after 2-4 min your in the “come what will” mode.

What helps me out is inhaling through my nose (normal depth) and exhale through my mouth alternating for about 10 min. You just become very calm.

I am totally going to give these a try, thanks so much. I really think this is what might be going on with me. While I’ve long been prone to mental anxiety, and when I would think of myself as being anxious it was always in the mental rumination sense with just a little bit of the physical effects, a couple weeks ago I had an anxious event where my body response just went over the top my entire body was vibrating with the anxiety I could feel my heartbeat it was really awful. While it has calm down somewhat I’m not back to normal, truly it’s like I felt something snap and my body would not stop freaking out. I’m really hoping this helps, along with some adaptogen herbal supplements, meditation, which I’ve been doing for a long time anyway, because I really don’t want to take any medication for the symptoms. Nowadays my mental anxiety is mostly about how bad it is for my body to be in this constantly aroused state. Update: I did these techniques and it helped TREMENDOUSLY!!!!

@@pkstiever Covid has shown a major increase in POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) it is often misdiagnosed with anxiety. What sucks is its extremely hard to get diagnosed as doctors are ill-educated and misinformed on the subject. I was finally diagnosed after 18 doctors of me begging to be tested.

I work as an osteopath. I find that a lot of people with anxiety only breath through their lower ribs and diaphragm. Everyone has sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The “rest and digest” and “fight or flight”. The sympathetic (fight or flight) nerve bundles are located right next to where the ribs attach to the spine. When someone says “take a few deeps breaths and calm down” there’s a reason it works. When you breathe, the ribs and spine move. Those nerve bundles that are right there actually turn off. Decreasing the sympathetic tone, and activating the parasympathetics (rest and digest). So if those upper ribs and spine aren’t moving you’ll have a harder time relaxing. The end result can be a higher lever of anxiety.

Seems like a lot of vegus nerve tonality is also closely correlated with the diaphragm and pelvic floor muscles.

Really good 👍🏼 thank you very much

really great exercises. Thanks

Hi, Lucas ! Thanks for the very informative video. As a 73 year old, I've had GREAT difficulty going to and staying asleep for the last 50 years because my brain just won't shut off. I'm going to keep an ice pack on my night stand, try the cold therapy for 15 seconds on each side and see if it helps. Wish me luck!

Keep going, Joe!

What would be greatly appreciated is help when you are out in public and can not lie down or have ice packs ready to use. Most anxiety issue show up when you are under pressure out in the world.

You can try conscious breathing like the 4 7 8 technique. In fact you don't even need any technique, just focusing on controlling your breath is a great practice to reconnect with your body and is the foundation of meditation. But the more important thing is, your anxiety is a symptom of your thoughts; doing a thought discovery and addressing them will help anxiety at its root.

Great information. Thank you X

Thank you so Much

I was driving home from the coast and could not stay awake. So I pulled over to the side of the road by a creek and jumped in. It reset me.

I am amazed at how fast your heart rate came down. I am also surprised at how high it was in the first place. Were you practicing bellows breathing before this video? I love learning from your videos and sharing your page with others. Can you please speak of contraindications here, especially with modified valsalva maneuver and balloon breathing? Both of which increase intra abdominal pressure which then puts undue pressure on the pelvic floor and abdomen; so if there is any pelvic floor dysfunction, prolapse, incontinence or hernia and for the abdomen diastasis recti, or hernia; this pressure in these regions and could make the situation worse. Should you brace yourself before adding pressure or skip these exercises altogether if you have one of the aforementioned issues? thanks for what you do

This is interesting, I haven't heard of any of these. Thank you.

I am at work and sitting at my desk. I just did the second exercise and.........WOW!! IT WORKS!!! AMAZING!!

When I had a full blown panic attack, I just ran it off until I depleted my adrenaline supply. Boy the come down was the reward response when it happened. Amazing how well you can run your balls off when your running from an invisible monster 👾.

Hi...saw your comment about your anxiety attacks. Please read my comment on Vagus Nerve Reset Yoga body video...& I would highly recommend "Rescue Remedy" drops or spray by Bach...flower extracts that just calm you down quickly, goes under your tongue...I always carry them. I think it will really help! Any health food store sells the line and Amazon too. They have gum also!

@YOGABODY: Once we have elevated our legs and relaxed and begin to breath in and out, do we we breath in through the nose and out through the mouth or both through the nose??

Just in and out the nose, I’m pretty sure

Oh good god thank you! Just had a mild SVT episode in the night and can't get to sleep. Obviously not asleep yet but my pulse is down and I feel better

My favorite technique for stress and anxiety is huffing the gas out of a half an empty 2 liter of cola

Respect our time. It took you 6:30 seconds to get yo the simple technique u you advertised. If you want to talk to people, show us your example first and talk after. Thanks,
