In practice, most of us do not use our whole respiratory system. Some breathe only in the abdomen and others in the chest. The result is our breath is often irregular, shallow or restricted, limiting the amount of energy flowing into the body and mind.
Th
is constriction of the breath is not uncommon. Take, for example, any time you are afraid, upset or in shock. Or the number of times you find yourself anxious or under stress. When this happens you most likely withdraw from these types of emotional situations using the breath to control your feelings. You do this in an attempt to be self-protective and not feel “negative” feelings. What you are actually doing, though, is suppressing and repressing the negative emotional energy of the experience into your body.
Keeping the negative emotional energy repressed (held in the subconscious) over time requires a tremendous amount of energy. It creates chronic tension in our bodies and requires that we continue to breathe in shallow, restricted patterns.
The first thing we do in a Transformational Breathing session is open up and clear these restricted breathing patterns. At the same time, we observe the breathing pattern of each individual and identify blockages and contractions in their breath. The person is then guided to a full, connected and open diaphragmatic breath by combining hands-on acupressure, sound, movement and positive affirmations.
Thus you will learn to breathe more effectively and easily by training your entire respiratory system to take in as much oxygen as possible. There are so many varied benefits to breathing a more open and fuller breath. Some include reducing stress, overcoming a sleeping disorder, eliminating migraines, increasing self-confidence, etc. Ultimately, after only one session, you will find yourself feeling lighter and more peaceful, and physically tingling with renewed life-force energy.
Once the breath is open and flowing, this deep, full and circular breathing pattern creates an opening to the subconscious mind. Breathing into previously closed places allows negativity to surface, bringing up repressed emotions and memories, as well as other patterns of dense or blocked energy.
As feelings, thoughts and physical sensations arise during a breathing session, the breather is supported and encouraged to simply allow the process to happen. Trusting that everything they are feeling is natural and safe. Instead of resisting any uncomfortable emotions or bodily sensations, the breather is encouraged to breathe into those emotions in order to integrate them.
During a Transformational Breathing Session many people find that they fully connect to their intuition, receiving insights and clarity during and after their sessions. During this phase, many breathers also experience higher states of awareness whilst staying connected and grounded in their bodies.
I hold TBr workshops and retreats throughout the year as well as organising and facilitating annual trainings in Mallorca every year.
