Get A Fresh Look At Mindful Marketing; Roy Furr

Roy Furr discusses the impact of mindfulness on his emotions, specifically mentioning Tara Brock's rain process. This process involves recognizing the emotion, allowing it to be present, and understanding its message. It also involves nurturing oneself while experiencing the emotion.
Roy acknowledges the power of this process, understanding that emotions are a natural part of life. He notes that emotions serve as a means of communication between our body and subconscious mind, as they lack a verbal language.
He highlights an example of experiencing emotions related to a physical threat the previous night. Roy emphasizes the importance of recognizing these emotions without becoming consumed by them. He acknowledges that he is not defined by these emotions but rather is experiencing them. He stresses the significance of accepting their presence, listening to their message, and taking care of oneself accordingly.

Roy Furr acknowledges the significance of conscious breathing but also highlights some challenges associated with it. He finds that when he becomes too aware of his breath or breathes deeply, he experiences a sense of oversaturation with oxygen, which doesn't feel beneficial to him.
Instead, Roy prefers practicing mindful breathing, focusing on being present and spending slightly more time exhaling than inhaling. He mentions various breathing techniques he has explored, including box breathing (in for four, hold for four, out for eight) and the Wim Hof method. While he doesn't consider himself an avid practitioner of the Wim Hof method, he recognizes its potential effectiveness.
Roy values the ability to self-regulate through the breath, recognizing that inhaling activates and exhaling relaxes the body. By managing the breath, one can influence the nervous system. He highlights the importance of adjusting the length of the exhale and inhale to achieve desired states of relaxation or activation.
In summary, Roy Furr emphasizes the benefits of mindful breathing, preferring a balanced approach that suits his own experience and needs. He sees breathing as a means to regulate the body and influence the nervous system, allowing for increased self-awareness and control.
