Importance of BreathWork

Breathing is a natural part of our body’s rhythm. Our lungs main function is gas exchange. They function by allowing us take in oxygen-which we need for energy, and remove carbon dioxide-a by-product of the reaction to use oxygen for energy. They are also one of the 2 main organs that regulate our body’s acidity.

It is important to be mindful of our breath; it does so much for us. It balances the body, supports our cells and facilitates relaxation. Breathing alone can balance the body-mentally, emotionally and physically, facilitate healing, grounding and centering. Although our breath has a natural rhythm, when we do exercises in breath work we can open up a higher level of wisdom that resides within the body. Breathwork facilitates in depth personal and spiritual growth, and promotes a sense of responsibility in our growth and lifepath experience.

Breathwork is considered a somatic experience because it engages the nervous system and creates memory and foundation for change within our cells. Increasing somatic intelligence helps us to become more connected to ourselves, to our very essence.

It is important to journey with your breath, experience many different forms of breathwork and find out what fits right with your body and your rhythms.

Let’s begin the journey to transformation, inner and outer health, balance and wellbeing.

Sit comfortably and with good posture
Begin with a slow and easy exhalation
Inhale slowly, gently, relaxing your abdominal muscles. Allow your belly to move away from the spine.
Exhale in a quick and vigorous movement. Contracting your abdominal muscles-causing your diaphragm to rise and force the air out of your lungs
Pause for half a second, then begin again with your gentle, slow inhale.
Repeat these breath cycles 4 to 5 times, as much as is comfortable....eventually you will want to work your way up to a full set of 7 cycles.
