"And the stress state can be useful, it’s what we use to survive, however, it makes it very difficult to connect with emotion, to connect with meaning, and so we’re finding ourselves more and more in this state that we’re not meant to be in."

EFR 520: Increase Your Longevity and Boost Your Immunity Through Parasympathetic Breathwork, Ice Baths, and Saunas with Robbie Bent
With all the stress and overstimulation we experience as humans in the 21st century, it’s becoming more and more difficult for us to exist and thrive in a state of peace and mindfulness.
But what if we could cultivate our innate parasympathetic nervous system, or the “rest and digest” state, to bring more ease, well-being, love, and connection into our daily lives?
Well, we can!
Through his struggle with addiction and failure, Robbie Bent discovered the life-changing benefits of meditation, breathwork, and psychedelic plant medicine. Since pursuing mind, body, and soul wellness, Robbie’s life completely changed and he’s now been sober for almost 6 years.
From hitting rock bottom to becoming the Co-Founder and CEO of Inward Breathwork, Robbie Bent is on a mission to help others reach optimal health and gain control of their emotions through breathwork, meditation, hot and cold therapy, and more.
“If you’re listening and need a break… this is it and it works for anybody."

Powerful Quotes by Robbie Bent
Your brain doesn’t know the different between real stress, like “I’m in danger,” and perceived stress, and so as a result, we’re always in this stress state. And the stress state can be useful, it’s like what we use to survive, however, it makes it very difficult to connect with emotion, to connect with meaning, and so we’re finding ourselves more and more in this state that we’re not meant to be in.
If you’re struggling to sleep, struggling with anxiety or focus, it could be that you have a breathing problem.
When you’re faced with stress, you can actually, through your breath, change your nervous system state.
