Huberman says that autonomous means autonomous. that runs on its own. The autonomic nervous system unconsciously controls the heart, digestion, liver, internal organs and our internal state. It is believed that internal organs and internal state cannot be controlled but this is a misconception.

Huberman says that the more you do research on successful people, the more you come to know that successful people themselves know how to make adrenaline and control the nervous system. That is, they can relax themselves very soon. And can activate itself anytime. That's why successful people are able to do boring work every day. What are the ways that you can directly affect the autonomic nervous system? You cannot run the liver, stomach, intestines by your will power.
Huberman says that the diaphragm is that internal organ which has evolved in such a way that we can operate it with our willpower. And this diaphragm is connected to the brain in real time. Real time means the brain keeps monitoring the speed of the diaphragm. If the diaphragm is moving slowly, then the body is currently in rest and digest mode, if it is moving fast, then the whole body along with the nervous system comes into flight and fight mode. That's why diaphragmatic breathing has an effect on adrenaline, heart and liver. If you gain control over the diaphragm, then you can gain control over both your internal state ie mind and body. That's why you must practice diaphragmatic breathing and yogic breathing, which you can do at any time during the day.
