Breathwork

Breathwork has been growing in popularity recently as a way of providing a lifelong tool for enhancing physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

The way you breathe can change dramatically depending on emotion and your state of mind. People who have experienced trauma or suffer from stress or anxiety often tend to hold their breath or breathe in a shallow and erratic way, which is actually the body’s way of avoiding emotional distress and traumatic memories. However, these unprocessed emotions become stored in our body and also in our respiratory system as fear, tension, or pain, which in turn can exacerbate mental and emotional difficulties. Correct deep breathing techniques with the help of acupressure, body mapping, and breath analysis can provide a way to process suppressed or repressed material, reduce mental ‘noise’ and enhance self-compassion and understanding.

Connected Breathwork and Emotional Processing

From navigating loss and grief to reducing unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns, breathwork can help to reduce tension, stress, and trauma held in the body, and allow you to connect with your deeper wisdom, vitality, and inspiration for life.

Incredibly, your breathing pattern is actually as unique as your fingerprint, and the way you breathe is one of the strongest indications of what lies beneath in your unconscious. Getting to know how your breath and body communicates can help to get to the root of any underlying problems, and this means breathwork is especially good for people who find it difficult to express their emotions on a mental level.

Once your breathing patterns have been analysed, you’ll be shown methods that promote fully connected, diaphragmatic breath through conscious breathing. These techniques allow the whole respiratory system to be opened up, encouraging a greater sense of well-being and a more balanced state of mind, and through regular practice you will become a better master of your nervous system and more resourced to deal with difficult experiences and emotional states.
