Breathwork
Conscious connected breathwork is a profound healing modality that utilizes rhythmic breathing patterns to facilitate deep emotional release, inner exploration, and spiritual growth. Through this intentional breathing, individuals can access altered states of consciousness, allowing them to release physical and emotional tension, access repressed memories and traumas, and gain insights into their subconscious mind. This process can lead to profound healing, increased self-awareness, and a greater sense of connection to oneself and the universe..
Willing yourself to breathe heavily for short intense time can be profoundly therapeutic... It's only through disruption that we can be normal again. That's what techniques like vigorous pranayamas do. They stress the body on purpose, snapping it out of it's funk so that it can properly function for the other 23 1/2 hours of day. Conscious breathing teaches us to be the pilots of our bodies, not the passengers.
