3. The Role Of The Nose In Regulating And Balancing The Autonomic
Nervous System (ANS)
"We are reviving an ancient technology of the mind [using specific patterns of breathing]... The
implication of this technology is that we are not helpless victims of a given emotional
state... The nose is an instrument for altering cortical activity... [A]lternating cycles of
sympathetic and parasympathetic activity are tightly coupled with the nasal cycle... The
nasal mucosa is one of the most abundant tissues...innervated by both the sympathetic and
parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system." [Shannahoff-Khalsa, D. S.
(1983) "Breathing cycle linked to hemispheric dominance," Brain/Mind Bulletin
,]
"Zajonic, of the University of Michigan, has found... that breathing through the nose cools the
hypothalamus, which affects brain chemicals that influence mood. Changing the
temperature of the hypothalamus may affect the release and synthesis of a variety of
neurotransmitters... [T]emperature changes are known to affect all biochemical
processes... The hypothalamus is involved in regulating the temperature of the brain and
in controlling aggression, eating and sex, all of which have large emotional components
...
