Brooke McPoyle shares her journey from being a classically trained singer to a golfer and how she discovered the connection between breath, fascia, and the nervous system. She explains how regulating the breath can regulate the nervous system and fascial holding patterns. Brooke emphasizes the importance of slowing down the breath rate to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and reduce stress. She also discusses the role of humming and singing in vibrating the vagus nerve and creating fluidity in the body. Brooke's goal is to find a sequence that allows the body to handle gamma brain waves and optimize brain function. In this conversation, Brooke McPoyle and Jade Teta discuss the connection between brain waves, breath, and fascia. They explore how chronic stress and tension can impact the body and brain waves, and how breathwork and fascia release can help restore balance. They also touch on the concept of gamma brainwave states and how they relate to mystical experiences and personal transformation. Brooke provides resources for self-assessment and offers recommendations for starting the process of regulating the nervous system and releasing stored traumas.
