Breath -- five minutes can change your life | Stacey Schuerman | TEDxChapmanU

At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.

Thank You, For Teaching a Old Man, How To Feel Like I'm Floating In Fresh Warm

Thanks for the upload and thanks to Stacey Schuerman! I've had anxiety problems for years, and it's breathwork which really helps in stressful times, such as when my youngest is having a tantrum. The brilliant thing is that breathwork is free! One can simply activate the parasympathetic nervous system in a few minutes. I wish all those who read this comment a boss day.

Thank you for this video. I use this at work before I get off and it helps me to let go of all the work I did. It helps me to get centered so that when I get home to my family, I am home and not still at work! It is great, five minutes, who knew?

[adhishkumar]

people need to understand there is a huge difference between conscious and unconscious breathing !! the teaching is all about conscious breathing and engage yourself in the present moment

[andrewcliffe]

I walk fast first thing for 30 mins and stop now and then and take several deep breaths and full exhales.
Makes me feel 100% better every time.
So far I have not been locked up :)

This is an old indian technique, starting with Pranayam... I am happy that she is spreading this ancient method to an audience who might have not heard about India and its ancient method s ! Namaste to you from India !

[MrWalterdsouza]

I just love the way she said "NAMASTE" by joining her hands at the end of this. Greetings of peace to all of you over here and also to STACEY SCHEURMAN. LOVE, PEACE AND GREETINGS TO YOU ALL FROM INDIA.

[Sskaushik]

That's what yogis and rishis of ancient India ...have done and taught...breathing techniques..taught through pranayam...done everyday. Can bring a lot of salutes to vast knowledge of ancient india

[gowthamgsp]

She said "namaste" at the end.That shows her respect on Indian yoga.

Our breath is one of the most powerful tools we have that is readily available to us when we need it. Thanks for sharing this to the world!

[eyosiasmoges]

it truly refreshes you. I've started doing it every morning as soon as I wake up and every evening before I go to bed, it makes a phenomenal difference

[Imbyoutloud]

Loved this! Your voice is great for guided meditation! Thank you for sharing your gift with us. :)

[Lightmane]

Guided Meditation has changed my life and now I just started doing Wim Hof's breathing technique each morning, followed by a cold shower. Just 3 days now and I feel like a new man. I'm 57. I feel like I'm back in my 30s and it makes meditations go even deeper. I'm so glad I found both. Try them. What do you have to lose?

[kdeepaku]

One of the best TEDx talks - Practical and useful to all, when compared to other theoretical long lectures.

[PULAG]

Breathing properly and stress free is KILLER for making time at work pass by quicker and easier. Do it before work you'll breeze through that day.

[daveaustin]

I have practice circular breathing for three years now and it has changed my life for the better

[MultiKinster]

This probably my favourite TEDx talks. Thank you Stacey Schuerman.

[deepakgaba]

I've been following good conscious breathing on most days recently for a month and it works. I highly recommend watching the TED talk 'how to be brilliant everyday' which helped immensely. Cheers
