Benefits of Breathwork occur on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. A partial list includes the following:
- Strengthen the relaxation response.
- Manage stress and anxiety.
- Lower high blood pressure.
- Release tension and express unconscious feelings in a safe environment.
- Strengthen mindful awareness.
- Become calm and centered.
- Anchor joy and positive feeling in the body.
- Enter a meditation state allowing for connection with the spiritual self and possibility of transcendent experiences.
Through learning conscious connected breathing in a safe environment,
clients strengthen their relaxation response, let go of tension, and
use the energy and rhythm of the breath to connect with their deepest
and most spiritual selves. This experience is the foundation of
psychological and spiritual integration.
Each
Breathwork session is different and regular practice will enhance
general health, promote well-being and connection with ones Self.- Contributing editor: Helena Greany RN MSN
