What is breathwork?
Breathwork is a generic term which covers all practices that use a conscious and deliberate change in breathing rate, tempo and pattern so that a specific result is achieved. That might be to energise or relax the body or to help relieve feelings of anxiety or to increase concentration. There has been a growth in interest in Breathwork as more and more people are learning the benefits that come from better breathing; benefits that range from enhanced physical performance to processing PTSD.
“The wisest one-word sentence? Breathe”
But I already know how to breathe!?
WRONG! We can go for days, weeks, without food and liquid, although neither is desirable or advisable. Mere minutes without breathing seriously starts to deteriorate the quality of our lives, in just a few minutes our lives will be over. Although you are practised in breathing what you may not realise is you are not breathing to your greatest capacity. As you go through life you pick up subtle restrictions and breath holding patterns which over a period of time reduces the effectiveness of your breath. By practising certain types of Breathwork you can increase your breathing capacity both during the practice and reap the benefits that offers. Transformational Breath® also helps to bring about changes in breath in your day to day life which will result in a noticeable change in how you feel.
“ Improper breathing is a common cause of ill health.”
Not All Breathwork is the Same
There are many types of Breathwork, each with different benefits. All Breathwork practice increases oxygen in the body. The results that you experience will not be the same. Some practices are designed for more energy, others promote relaxation and integration.
Having clarity on your outcome will direct you to the best type Breathwork practice.
