Breathwork is an active form of meditation. By practicing breathwork, we can disconnect from the mind and focus on the present moment. As we breathe out any thoughts, beliefs, and actions that don't support healing, we return to wholeness. In this way, daily breathwork practices can help us build resilience to handle stress, anxiety, depression, and other wellness concerns. There are multiple breathwork techniques, each with a unique purpose and effect on the body. When you're physically or emotionally stressed, breathwork can help reduce your stress levels and rebalance your mind. By calming the body's innate fight-or-flight response, breathwork can help you kickstart your journey toward holistic wellness. Whether you're navigating past trauma or looking to promote relaxation, breathwork can make all the difference in your daily life. In this post, we'll explore: the meaning of breathwork why it's beneficial essential techniques for practicing What Is Breathwork? Breathwork, an active form of meditation, describes any type of breathing exercise. The clinical definition of breathwork is the conscious control of deep breathing, a technique used in relaxation and meditative practices to ease psychological stress. Many people practice breathwork to improve their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. During breathwork practice, you intentionally change your breathing pattern while focusing on the present moment. There are several forms of breathwork that all involve breathing in a conscious, connected way. Breathwork stems back to ancient spiritual traditions and Eastern wellness practices. Many modern breathing techniques have originated from traditional yoga practices based on pranayama, or the regulation of breath through conscious practices. To get an idea of how breathwork can calm you down, try changing the ratio of your inhale to exhale. This is a common practice that helps reduce stress. When you take shorter inhale breaths, your heart rate speeds up. When you take longer exhale breaths, it slows down. Breathing in for a count of four and breathing out for a count of eight can help calm your nervous system. Remember: When you're feeling anxious, focus on lengthening your exhales. Why Is Breathwork Important?
