You need epinephrine and acetylcholine to change your nervous system, but in that moment, breathwork activates a more calm state. How do these two actions, which seem contradictory, engage neuroplasticity? Am I suppressing the fear response with breathwork, and what happens to the epinephrine and acetylcholine levels?
