Find Calm Within, Unveiling the Power of Breathwork Therapy
Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily stress and negative emotions? Do you yearn for a natural, drug-free approach to improve your well-being? If so, breathwork therapy might be the key you’ve been searching for.
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?
Breathwork therapy encompasses a range of techniques that harness the power of conscious breathing to promote physical and emotional well-being. For millennia, various cultures have recognized the profound link between breath and our inner state. Breathwork therapy builds upon this wisdom, guiding you to utilize your breath in specific ways to achieve positive changes.
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.
How Does Breathwork Work?
When we’re stressed, our breath becomes shallow and rapid. This disrupts the natural balance within our bodies, triggering the fight-or-flight response. Breathwork therapy helps us counteract this by teaching techniques for deep, diaphragmatic breathing. This simple shift sends a calming message to your nervous system, promoting relaxation and emotional regulation.
Here’s a glimpse into the science behind breathwork:
Increased Oxygen Intake
Deep breathing allows more oxygen to reach your cells, enhancing their function and promoting a sense of vitality.
Stimulates Relaxation Response
By calming the nervous system, breathwork activates the body's natural relaxation response, counteracting the stress response.
Emotional Release
Certain breathwork techniques can help release pent-up emotions, bringing emotional clarity and fostering a sense of peace.
