Breathwork 101
Our breath is what supports our mind/ body connection … our breath flowing through.. In and around our bodies to send signals and messages back and forth from eachother.
I think we’re all semi familiar with the mind … the thoughts.. The process’ etc ..
What we are not taught is how our bodies store information (EMOTIONS) based on experiences … our own and those that came before us … all inside of the cells that make up our body …
Like we have trillions of cells going on in here …
So when emotions happen … all the time… and when not dealt with or worked through … they attach to our cells … making the emotions a part of us.
All of those emotions that get stored up amongst our energy centres, dictate … how we move about our lives … how we react .. how we respond … all the things ..
Our Breath.. Comes in because just like wind … air… our breath … its moving things around .. allowing things to come to the surface .. to process and to work through …
Take a look at this reel I made to explain.

Each experience through a Breathwork Practice is completely individual, trusting that you are receiving exactly as you need. Here are some possibilities 🌀
Relaxation: Many people report feeling deeply relaxed after a breathwork session. Controlled breathing techniques can help calm/ reset the nervous system, leading to a state of relaxation similar to meditation or mindfulness practices.
Increased Energy: Despite feeling relaxed, some people may also experience a surge in energy levels. This can be due to the increased oxygenation of the body improved circulation, and a release of old narratives.
Clarity and Mental Focus: Breathwork can clear the mind and improve mental clarity. Participants often report feeling more focused and present after a session, with reduced mental chatter and a greater sense of mental well-being.
Emotional Release: Breathwork can bring up suppressed emotions or tensions held within the body. People may experience feelings of sadness, joy, anger, or other feels during or after a session as they release emotional blockages.
Physical Sensations: Participants may experience tingling sensations, muscle tension release, or changes in body temperature during or after a breathwork session.
Heightened Awareness: Breathwork can lead to a heightened sense of self-awareness and introspection. People may gain insights into their thought patterns, behaviours, or unresolved issues, leading to personal growth and self-discovery.
Euphoria or Bliss: Some individuals may experience feelings of euphoria or bliss after a breathwork session. This can be attributed to the release of endorphins and other feel-good hormones triggered by the breathing exercises.
Catharsis: Breathwork sessions can sometimes lead to a cathartic experience, where individuals experience a profound sense of release or transformation. This can be accompanied by tears, laughter, or a sense of lightness as emotional or energetic blockages are cleared.
When Breathwork is practiced on a regular basis, you have the ability to make immense changes in your life, freeing up energetic space to leave behind versions of yourself that no longer serve the person that you are becoming - someone IN YOUR POWER ⚡️⚡️
On a nervous system level, the style of breath we practice is activating your sympathetic nervous system (your fight or flight response) through a quick inhales and calming your parasympathetic nervous system through a long exhale; essentially retraining your body to be the calm in the chaos that comes with life.
