Transformational Breath®
Transformational Breath ® is an award winning breath therapy. This modality opens and connects your breath, safely integrating unwanted thoughts and emotions, achieving a state of flow in your body and in your life.
What can I expect from a session?
Your first 2 hour session includes a full breath practice based on a thorough wellness consultation. I conduct a breath analysis to detect where the breath is restricted in your body. I coach you to use a range of toning and movement to open up the breath in previously shallow areas of the body along with positive affirmations and gentle acupressure to help create a connected breath with a relaxed exhale.
Physical
Our life experiences affect how we breathe.
We unconsciously hold or constrict our breath in anticipation of something bad or unpleasant happening to us. The chest, shoulders or back muscles are improperly used to cope with shortness of breath, setting in motion the build-up of blockages to good physical health. Effective breathing brings with it improved physiological benefits.
-
When the diaphragm, the largest breathing muscle in our body is used effectively, it helps to increase the amount oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged for cellular regeneration. More vitality and energy is generated.
-
Up to 70% toxins can be breathed out from the body, preventing the build-up of disease and supporting good organ function for the entire brain-body.
Emotional & Mental
Erratic breathing is actually the body's way of avoiding distress. Chronic restrictions in the breath can prevent us from remaining calm, especially when uncomfortable emotions and painful thoughts arise.
Therefore, it is vitally important to become aware of the breath. For mood regulation and staving off anger and fear to feeling more confident and connected with yourself and others around you.
Whether positive or negative, all emotions carry different frequencies in the body. Adjusting the rate and rhythm of breathing creates a helpful range of vibrations to regulate your entire nervous system. Certain breathing techniques create an energetic build -up so that entrainment can occur. The cellular changes that occur within the brain-body can and do dislodge suppressed or repressed traumatic memories in a safe way.
Expanded Consciousness
Historic records from the South Asia, the far east and indigenous lands show how altering the breath can create expanded states of consciousness.
Similar to techniques such as meditation, chanting, the ingestion of plant medicines and prayer recitation; conscious connected breathing can illicit deep spiritual shifts.
Breathwork clients have reported experiences of seeing loved ones who are no longer living and having a deeper understanding of past and present relationships. Some begin to trust their inner truth while others feel a stronger connection with self, others and this planet.
Other clients report their one, 60-minute breathwork journey as the equivalent of many months of therapy.
“It is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free”
