BREATHWORK THERAPY
Breathwork uses the body's own natural mechanism for releasing stress, emotional charge and trauma.
Simply described Breathwork Therapy is emotional release work. It helps the body let go of stress and painful emotions, resulting in deep sense of relief, as well as awareness and clarity on a level that is difficult to reach by talking alone. The technique works through a style of active, conscious, connected breathing which you do under the guidance of an experienced facilitator.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Anxiety and trauma don’t only affect us on a cognitive (mental) level. Often they are held in the body, which is why it takes more than talking to release the symptoms.
Breathwork uses your body’s innate mechanism for releasing stress, trauma and emotional charge. The body already knows how to let go of stress, it’s just that we have learnt to suppress these mechanisms through the course of our lives, in order not to feel or show what we feel.
Breathwork activates the limbic system and the amygdala to release deep and often unconscious emotions. You can experience a profound nervous system release, reduced emotional reactivity and numerous physical health and relationship benefits.
IS BREATHWORK FOR ME?
I recommend breathwork therapy for anyone with: Anxiety, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, depression, insomnia, relationship- or self worth issues / other life issues, stress and stress-related conditions, emotional pain or trauma.
If you have health complaints or mental illness, please consult your GP or specialist. Breathwork is not a substitute for medical treatment but a complimentary healing modality. Please talk to your physician before participating.
