Article: « Le souffle, maître des émotions cérébrales »

Response:
Le souffle, or breathing, plays a crucial role in regulating our emotions and cognitive functions. According to studies, slow and deep breathing can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which has a calming effect on the brain and reduces anxiety and stress. Conversely, fast and shallow breathing can trigger the sympathetic nervous system, leading to increased arousal and stress. Furthermore, breathing patterns can influence the brain’s activity and connectivity, as demonstrated by research using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Therefore, controlling our breath can help manage our emotions and mental state.
