Balance Breathwork
Balance Breathwork is my personal synthesis of many trainings and life experiences. Gentleness lies at its core. I find that a gentle approach allows deep surrender, trust, and true relaxation. The healing power of deep relaxation brings balance to trauma, allowing difficult emotions to safely surface and be released.
What to Expect in a Session:
We begin by setting an intention, which helps activate body sensations and cellular memories. Throughout the session, we pay close attention to bodily sensations, emotions, images, and thoughts that arise. Soft music and a supportive facilitator create a safe space, letting you experience whatever comes up.
The breathing technique is nasal breathing, with inhales and exhales connected and deeper than usual, involving chest, ribs, and abdomen. This is done progressively for ease and comfort. This process often results in expanded consciousness and connection to your inner wisdom and happiness.
Each session is unique and unpredictable, and often results in the release of bodily tension and emotional blockages, deep relaxation, and important personal insights.
After every session, we share experiences and integrate the session, drawing from a holistic psychological approach that considers body, energy, life history, and the environment.
“Despite all the damage life may have caused you, there is always a corner of peace within you that you cann connect with and you can access it through your breath.”
Breathwork
Breathwork is a form of Conscious Breathing that helps create expanded states of consciousness and supports personal development. It is a powerful transformational tool that enhances inner peace, health, and overall well-being.
Over time, life experiences and emotions can impact how we breathe, sometimes leaving us with restricted patterns or holding tension in our bodies. Breathwork helps release these stagnant emotions, painful memories, and unhelpful habits so you can live more freely and fully.
There are many different approaches to Breathwork. Organizations like the International Breathwork Foundation (IBF) bring together practitioners from around the world, offering a variety of methods to explore.
Conscious Breath
Conscious Breathing is used in many activities for different purposes. It simply means paying attention to your breath and modifying it according to your needs in the moment. Singers, actors, athletes, divers, yogis, meditators, and even women in labor use conscious breathing for greater control and performance.
In personal development and psychology, this tool is used therapeutically. Breathing is our most vital function, closely connected to the nervous system, with each influencing the other. For example, when something startles us, we usually take a sharp inhale and hold our breath. This demonstrates how deeply our emotions and breathing are linked.
Humans can breathe both automatically and consciously. By altering the way we breathe, such as using our nose or mouth, changing the rhythm, depth, or even holding the breath, we directly affect our nervous system. For instance, quick breathing through the mouth can activate the Sympathetic Nervous System, preparing us to take action, while slow breathing through the nose activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System, supporting relaxation and healing.
When stressed, we can consciously change our breathing pattern to one that brings more relaxation and balance. When feeling low energy or sadness, breathing techniques can encourage vitality and uplift our mood.
