Breathwork Therapy in Los Angeles
Our breath is the force that sustains life. It is the oneness with our spirit. In Latin the word spiritus means breath. Through regulated breathing, we can open up the channels, clear suppressed emotions, and reconnect with our true self, the power within.
What Is Breathwork Therapy?
The 2-stage Pranayama Breathwork Meditation is a continuous circular breathing technique, guided by me, that takes a deeper approach to self-exploration. It is a powerful tool that can clear years of emotional blocks and trauma in a single session.
This safe and simple process offers transformation from within. By releasing the deeply rooted patterns from the past that no longer support our purpose in the present, it leads us to self-mastery. Breathwork is a non-verbal path to healing. By resolving the stories and memories caused by traumas of the past, we open the gates to be in the present. Overall, breathwork exercises involve deep, focused breathing that lasts for an extended period of time.
Kristine creates each session in mind to offer you a profound experience that is powerful and life-changing.
Participation in Breathwork activities can result in deep emotional releases through crying, shaking of the hands and legs, “lobster claw” also known as tetany, which is the involuntary contraction of the hands and mouth muscles, resulting in CO2 decrease and PH increase in the body. These symptoms are completely normal and natural. It is advised to slow down the breath temporarily to release the muscle tightness.
Using Breathwork for Coping with Stress, Anxiety, and Depression
Feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxious thoughts, or a low mood? You’re not alone. Breathwork therapy can be a powerful tool in your journey towards greater well-being. Here’s how:
- Activating the Relaxation Response: When stressed, our bodies go into “fight-or-flight” mode. Specific breathwork techniques activate the parasympathetic nervous system, counteracting stress hormones and promoting relaxation.
- Regulating the Nervous System: Our breath is intricately linked to the autonomic nervous system, which governs stress response. By consciously altering our breathing patterns, we can directly influence our nervous system’s activity, promoting calmness.
- Simple Exercises for Daily Relief: Even a few minutes of mindful breathing can make a difference. Try this: Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of 4, hold for a count of 7, and exhale slowly through pursed lips for a count of 8. Repeat this cycle several times for a calming effect.
- Success Stories: Many individuals have found relief through breathwork. Sarah, a client, shared, “Breathwork sessions online helped me manage my anxiety before presentations. Now, I feel more grounded and confident.”
The Importance of Breathwork Therapy
Breathwork therapy goes beyond just feeling good. Here’s why it matters:
- Holistic Approach: Breathwork addresses the mind, body, and spirit. By calming the nervous system, it can improve sleep, focus, and emotional well-being.
- Science-Backed Benefits: Research shows breathwork therapy reduces stress hormones like cortisol, promoting feelings of calmness and relaxation.
- Accessible and Affordable: No special equipment is needed! Breathwork can be practiced anywhere, anytime, making it a convenient and cost-effective approach to self-care.
- Complementary Therapy: Breathwork can be used alongside traditional treatments for stress, anxiety, and depression, offering a natural and empowering approach to healing.
