backs to become completely dormant to the point where they are immobilized and can
hardly be contracted at all If they happen to contract fully as during a fall or when
lifting something heavy it would be painful and would result in injury
e We brace our breathing muscles including the diaphragm when we are nervous This
can push them into partial contraction To unbrace the diaphragm allow your
exhalations to become passive This involves doing no work during the exhalation and
letting the breathing muscles go limp The exhalation provides a brief opportunity for all
the breathing muscles to relax and receive a microbreak
e Pain signals sent to our brain from tense muscles overwhelm our emotional lives
They cause the painbody to flare up heightening aggression ego and competition
for status
e Muscular tension is a fundamental medical and biological problem Due to its relation to
stress it is responsible for a wide range of downstream pathologies and health issues
e Several studies have shown that relaxing the muscles of the body reduces anxiety
e Distressed breathing results in muscle tension and increased bracing Chronic distressed
breathing results in copious dormant muscle
e Diaphragmatic breathing reduces excessive muscular tone allowing muscles the
microbreaks they need to regenerate This makes it so that the repetitive strains of
everyday life strengthen our muscles rather than weaken them
e Your body has learned to be tense but you can teach it to let go of the tension
PROGRAM PEACE Self Care Exercises to Reprogram Your Mind and Body
Unbracing which can be accomplished by allowing muscles to go limp is an acquired
skill that can rehabilitate your entire body when combined with diaphragmatic
breathing
Corpse pose involves lying on the back and focusing on fullbody relaxation
Progressive relaxation involves systematically scanning over the entire body tensing
muscles then completely releasing them
The most dominant primates are the least affected by bracing and brace the least during
confrontation and opposition So unbrace
