Entrainment


From Wikipedia:

Air entrainment, the intentional creation of tiny air bubbles in concrete
Brainwave entrainment, the practice of entraining one's brainwaves to a desired frequency
Entrainment (biomusicology), the synchronization of organisms to an external rhythm
Entrainment (chronobiology), the alignment of a circadian system's period and phase to the period and phase of an external rhythm
Entrainment (engineering), the entrapment of one substance by another substance
Entrainment (hydrodynamics), the movement of one fluid by another

Entrainment (meteorology), a phenomenon of the atmosphere

Entrainment (physical geography), the process by which surface sediment is incorporated into a fluid flow

Entrainment (physics), the process whereby two interacting oscillating systems assume the same period

From me:

Entrainment is what I teach! The entrainment of the mind and the body and the universe.
Yoga Entrainment

I don't quite get it. Do I want air bubbles in my brain? Is this like a state of effervecance? Did I spell effervecance right?

BTW...I've been breathing. This one thing, has helped me so profoundly! Being conscious of my breathing...minimizes anxiety...a lot! Thank you Eva:)

Hey Khamisa,
I'm imagining that they put air bubbles in the concrete so it isn't too dense. In our minds, the same thing, making space, lovely space. Yoga can create space where we didn't know we had it, or breathing, like you wrote about, gives lots and lots of space. And where there is space it seems there is entrainment.
I am so happy you are breathing! :)
