What is breathwork and why is it such an important tool for our health and wellbeing?
Breathwork is a general term used to describe any type of therapy that utilizes changes in breathing patterns to improve mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
Our brain and body function on energy. In Ancient traditions, breathwork has been used both therapeutically and as a path of spiritual awakening for thousands of years. This includes Pranayamas in Yogic practices and a variety of breath-centered meditations in Buddhism, Taoism, Sufism, Christianity, Shamanism, and martial arts. Breathwork is nothing new, but it has had a big revolution in the last 60 years.
Most of the Modern Breathwork therapies used today started during the consciousness-raising era of the 1960s and 1970s, and they continue to evolve through different programs, scientific research, and studies.
In yoga breathing practices are called Pranayama which directly translates to energy control, prana being the Sanskrit name for energy. In the yogic perception, prana is the most important aspect of the living body and brain. This vital energy is the power that supplies the body, brain and the nervous system. It is the essential life force bringing life to the body.
Although we all breath automatically - our amazing bodies doing this for us many times a day, every single day, the majority of us are shallow breathing and only using about 10% of the full capacity of our lungs. This is why conscious breathing is so important and can have such a profound effect on your health. Imagine how differently you could feel if you were using 100% of the Prana and oxygen available to you instead of a mere 10%. Most people don't ever get to experience just how good they can feel in their bodies when using the right tools.
I invite you to remain curious through out the practices and see what effects they create internally for you. I also invite you to research and explore the world of breathwork - attend classes and workshops, read books but most importantly of all, find what works for you as and know that what works will change throughout your life as your needs change.
