Transformational Breathwork is a powerful self healing and transformational process that opens restricted breathing patterns, integrates emotional suppressions and permanently clears the subconscious mind. It is an advanced science of converting resistance to enthusiasm.
Most of our knowledge about the benefits of breathing comes from Ancient Eastern philosophies. The power of conscious breathing has been used in the east as a vehicle for spiritual enlightenment for many centuries. Only recently has interest and research in the mind-body connection developed in the west.
From a physical viewpoint, our breath is our connection to life. We can go without food for 30 days without water for 3 days, but in 3 minutes without breath we die. Most people think if they breathe in and out they are healthy. The truth however, unless we are breathing deeply and fully our bodies are not getting the oxygen needed for optimal health.
Oxygen feeds the cells and most people are starving their cells, so many people feel tired all the time. This is quite a problem in our busy world. The solution can be as simple as conscious redirection of the breathing pattern. The pattern can be reprogrammed and the breathing muscles retrained.
The ancients spoke of the air carrying prana, the life force energy that permeates the universe. They said that we take it into our bodies from exposure to sunlight and by eating foods which store it.
Through Transformational Breathing, we believe that prana is drawn into the body in great quantity, producing a strong positive energy vibration which alters the electromagnetic field. Negative energy is raised to the positive through the principle of entrainment. As the life force energies enter the body, emotions are lifted.
Because of the change in vibration, trauma is permanently cleared and no longer remains in the energy field. There is no longer a need for analysis, for addressing each issue of the past, nor "fixing" anything. Once a trauma or specific issue is resolved, mental static is quieted and the connection with the soul becomes clearer. As this takes place, we remember who we are, we act differently and interact differently with our world. As we are changed, the world around us is changed.
Transformational Breathing opens and clears restricted breathing patterns producing more energy, increased detoxification, better health, improved respiratory capacity and strengthening of the immune system.
Transformational Breathing clears the subconscious mind which allows us to resolve stress. It permanently clears repressed emotions such as anger, fear, anxiety, guilt and depression, which creates more peace, creativity and clarity. Transformational Breathing connects us to higher dimensions and levels of consciousness and gives us a stronger connection to our higher self, with fuller expression of our spiritual nature.
Therapeutic use of Transformational Breathing is in pain control, infertility, phobias, stress, PMS, headaches, chronic fatigue, asthma, TMJ, panic attacks, depression, apnea, heart condition, respiratory ailments, digestive problems, birthing, addictions and recovery.
The overall result of Transformational Breathing is that we become more fully in the present. Transformational Breathing releases endorphins in the blood stream, oxygenates cells and reverses the aging process. Best of all, Transformational Breathing produces more love, joy and overall well-being.
