“Breath is the channel through which life comes and LOVE is shared. Loving intention combined with breath is the process of recreating life in our body and maintaining the universal vehicle which supports our bodies” Jim Morningstar
BREATH is the Universal language. The most elemental thing we do, our connection to source, the most SACRED powerful tool we have. What a gift.
Every part of the body is vitalized by oxygen; strengthening and restoring our tissues, muscles, organs and cells. How we breathe changes our internal environment from breath to breath, specifically the PH of extracellular body fluids. Your breath informs your state of being and is our guide to let our nervous system know where we are at. It helps to move life force energy in the body, helping to release, restructure and restore balance within us.
There are many different Breathwork techniques to explore, all with very different effects on our physical and metal states. This can be broken down into two different categories, breathing that connects us with two parts of the autonomic nervous system. A maintenance breath, that activates the parasympathetic nervous system, allows us to calm, rest and nurture ourselves to help us with everyday situations. Conscious connected breath, is stimulating and activates the sympathetic nervous system, that can help address holding patterns in the emotional and physical body.
“By reclaiming the fullness of our breathing we also reclaim many other dimensions of our lives…. discovering the naturalness of our breaths has to do with uncovering or removing the obstacles that we have constructed to the breath, both consciously and unconsciously.” Donna Farhi
Since 2012 I have been intentionally deepening my connection with the Spirit of Breath. I am constantly amazed at the power and healing capacity that the breath holds and that it is so readily available to us at any moment. My studies in Therapeutic Breathwork, Qi Gong, Energy Medicine, Yoga and different styles of meditation all have shown me how vital it is to have awareness and right relationship with the breath. I personally use these tools on a daily basis in my personal practice to maintain my overall health and wellbeing.
I offer Therapeutic Breathwork sessions and provide various breathing techniques to reduce stress and anxiety, enhance concentration, balance emotions, and support the release of blocked energy.
