What are the Benefits of Breath-Work:

• Deep Relaxation and Grounding: Achieve a deep state of relaxation, helping you to let go of stress, anxiety and bring you a grounded presence.

• Feeling energised and refreshed: By using focused breathing techniques for energizing your spirit and refreshing your Mind Body and soul, and bring a feeling of wholeness.

• Activation of the Parasympathetic Nervous System: Trigger your body’s innate relaxation mechanisms to enhance calmness, peace, and healing restoration.

• Enhanced Well-being and Wholeness: Re-establish a connection with your inner self for a comprehensive sense of well-being, aligning your mind, body, and spirit for balanced harmony.

• Integration of Mind and Body: Leverage the transformative power of breathwork for unifying your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations, promoting a cohesive sense of self.

• Self-discovery and Personal Growth: Embark on an inward personal journey to uncover profound insights, tap into your inner wisdom, and pursue personal development along the path of integration and regeneration.

• Daily mindful breathing brings a level of conscious thought and awareness to the breath. With each deep, long breath, muscle stress and tension is released, and endorphins (those feel-good hormones) are released, allowing feelings of happiness and wellbeing to replace those frazzled nerves present just a few moments earlier. Mental stamina and clarity also improves with a deeper delivery of oxygen essential to body functioning. Stress signals are disabled as your body shifts from a state of stress to one of peace and calm, allowing your immune system to perform more optimally.

  Here’s more good news, it only takes around 20 deep breaths per day, equating to around 15 minutes, to induce what Harvard physician Herbert Benson, termed the ‘relaxation response’. He found that focused deep abdominal breathing ushers the body into a physical state of deep rest, altering the physical and emotional responses to stress, countering the body’s fight or flight response.

  A breathwork and meditation session typically begins with finding a quiet and comfortable space, where participants can sit or lie down in a relaxed position.

  The session often starts with focused deep breathing exercises to bring awareness to the breath. This intentional breathing helps clear the mind and create a sense of inner calm.

  As the session progresses, participants may be guided through various meditation techniques, such as mindfulness, visualisation. These practices encourage a state of presence and self-reflection, promoting mental clarity and emotional balance.

  Throughout the session, you will release tension, reduce stress, and have a deeper sense of inner peace and well-being.

  Many people find that regular breathwork and meditation sessions can lead to increased mindfulness, improved emotional resilience, and a greater sense of inner harmony in their daily lives.

  Try a Practice :

  Belly breathing:

  Belly breathing, also known as diaphragmatic breathing, is a simple practice that acquaints us with the natural rhythm of the breath and reminds us to breathe into our belly (as opposed to our chest) to help promote a feeling of calm.
  

  How to do it:

  Sitting on the floor or the edge of a chair, place one hand on your chest and the other hand just below your rib cage. Inhale through the nose, such that you feel the breath move down and your belly rise. Exhale through the mouth, such that your hand just below the rib cage falls inward. The hand on your chest will remain still. Repeat this 15 to 20 times and slowly build to 5 minutes.
  

  Breathwork:

  This practice helps to clear anxieties and fears about speaking up, sharing the truth, and holding healthy boundaries.
