Harnessing the Power of Breath for Holistic Healing
The Transformative Benefits of Breathwork for Overall Well-being
The breath is the simplest and most powerful thing. It keeps us alive, it keeps us balanced, and if we can master it, it's the only thing that keeps us in touch with now.
Anybody who has ever been to a yoga or meditation class has heard about the importance of breathing in spiritual practice. However, when you turn to conscious breathing, the breath can be a practice of its own.
Tap Into Spiritual Healing
Healing breath is making waves right now. The simple act of inhaling and exhaling has turned into a wide range of healing techniques from Holotropic breathwork to the Wim Hof Method where they ask us to tap into our own spiritual healing powers by using our breath.
Letting Go of Long Term Tension
When we're babies we breathe deep down into our bellies filling ourselves up with all that delicious air. But as we grow older our breathing changes, becoming shallow and thin. We hold tension much more in our bodies now, sometimes even holding our breath when stressed or anxious.
A lot of body-based breathing practices work off the belief ‘the body keeps score’. This is a somatic healing practice which recognizes that stresses and traumas are stored within our physical form, which means they can also be released through deep and conscious breathing.
Detoxify the Body
Breathing basically works by increasing oxygen supply to your inner systems, raising energy levels, activating brain power, expanding consciousness, not to mention detoxifying considering that 70% of toxins are released through breathing alone! And this is just scratching at what breathwork can do for you!
Balance Out Nervous System Functioning
Partaking in conscious connected breathwork has shown some pretty major positive effects on the body: namely relaxing heart rate lowering blood pressure leading to massive amounts of calm flooding both body and mind. But it also helps put the adrenal gland into check and balance out our nervous systems.
Expand Your Awareness
Breathwork has a reputation for deep soul healing beyond just the physical here and now. Clearing out old traumas through the breath can reduce depression, anxiety and other negative mental states, help us break through creative blocks or lethargy, raise consciousness levels as well as spiritual understanding.
Wear Healing Bracelets
If you want to boost your aura and feel better all round, wear Moaura healing bracelets. These attractive accessories are usually beaded from gemstones or crystals that each have their own special energy charge.
For instance, calming amethyst, energising clear quartz and black tourmaline bodyguards against negative vibes. By wearing the beads on your pulse points or just touching them whenever you think of it, benefits can be yours continuously from these little gems balancing effects.
The steady input helps maintain an upbeat mood with all aches cleared away plus ongoing spiritual support for those times when things have been tough going...
Creating Room
In breathwork, they say everything is allowed. Breathing for healing brings out a thousand different reactions as the body gets rid of all the trash it does not want to host anymore. For example, during breathwork sessions individuals scream, cry, laugh, sing, create mantras and affirmations or even feel sexual and all these should be welcome.
Just trust that your body knows better about what it requires to do. Additionally some people might experience tingling in their hands or other parts of their bodies as more oxygen enters into them, this may not feel good but it is okay so let be.
Allow each reaction that comes into your body's awareness because this contributes towards healing too. Also remember that big changes don't happen overnight either, sometimes you won't sense anything at all while beneath-surface processing continues.
Staying Protected
It is useful to have a support system around you when engaging with something like Holotropic practice even if breathwork itself is seen as generally safe. Creating space which feels secure, being surrounded by trusted persons and having an environment filled with care are important aspects during any form of work involving trauma treatment or release facilitation through breathing techniques.
If adequate supportive measures are not taken into account then old hurts can resurface without warning and in such situations re-victimization must be avoided at all costs therefore this calls for finding recommended practitioners who offer safe breath works or ensuring personal inner strength matches up with holding space for deep healing processes before beginning them.
