_______________________________

Pranayama (Top-down regulation)
Activates prefrontal cortex (PFC)


Inhibits overactive amygdala


Strengthens insula (interoceptive awareness)


Improves autonomic balance via slow, controlled respiration


➡️ Works top-down: cortex regulates limbic system

Best when you want:
Daily regulation & consistency (morning or evening practice)


Mental clarity, calm, and focus


Support for meditation or yoga


Gradual, sustainable nervous system balance


A grounding practice during stress or anxiety


Think of pranayama as training and tuning the system.

CCB (Bottom-up processing)
Reduces dominance of prefrontal control


Activates limbic system (emotion, memory)


Engages brainstem and autonomic circuits


Increases interoceptive and somatic signaling


➡️ Works bottom-up: body and limbic system lead, cortex follows


Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB)
Best when you want:
Emotional processing or release


Breakthrough experiences or insight


Access to subconscious material


Short-term, high-impact sessions


Healing-oriented or therapeutic work


Think of CCB as clearing and resetting the system
