Notes from Breathing for Health

Source

• breathing has a Body-Mind-Connection
• Our breathing reflects the way that we feel
  • if we have no reason whatsoever to feel stressed or anxious, but we’re breathing in a stressed or anxious way, it’s going to cause us to feel stressed or anxious
• breathwork is any time you become aware of your breathing and then use it purposefully
• we were able to increase vagal tone over a 20 minute breathing session. Not just a little bit, not even just doubling it, which by itself would be crazy. We increased it by nearly 600%.
• Our physical and mental actions and behaviors are completely interconnected and building a breathwork habit can help with both
• An emotion is simply a chemical reaction that happens and creates certain sensations. And then we group those sensations together and we define that as a feeling or an emotion

Notes from How to improvise

Source

• History, music and neuroscience all suggest you may produce some of your best work by learning to let go
• He would research, draft, redraft, memorise, finally deliver with passion.
• Improvisers shut down their inner critics and allow new ideas to flow out, escaping their internal restraints.
• They’re letting go. The improvising brain is disinhibited,
  • That is why improvisers can produce flashes of pure brilliance.
• Too much filtering can squash our creativity
• improvisation as the freedom and space to hear things.
  • Let go of your inhibitions and give yourself what Miles Davis called the freedom and space to hear things.
• So the lesson here is not to abandon all preparation, but at a certain point, all of your meticulous preparations may become a constraint.
• You may be surprised what you can achieve when you quiet your inner critic and stop holding back.
