What is BreathMedicine?
Just as food can be seen as medicine so to is the use of your breath.
Your breath directly affects your physiology and psychology and for many people breathing is involuntary or reactive. When breath techniques are applied consciously you are now entering into the areas of Healing, Optimising or Manifesting.
HEAL
We have the ability as humans to be in control of our own health and influence our autonomic nervous system for self healing. Unfortunately we have been conditioned to believe that the medical profession are the authorities on our health and if we have a problem, they have the solution. Doctors are valuable in our society however there are areas where they don’t have the solution. In some cases the side effects of prescribed drugs are almost as bad as the disease!
Various conditions people suffer from can originate from poor lifestyle or from past emotional traumas and when addressed holistically many can be reversed.
However this does require a shift in peoples beliefs about who the healer really is.
It’s YOU!
I mostly work with the SOMA Breath Meditation process combined with other techniques which I use to assist in the recovery of the following conditions:
Asthma - reduces stress and inflammation while increasing cardiovascular health and lung function.
Auto-immune - rebalances the nervous system and reduces inflammation and increases energy and strengthens immune system.
Anxiety and Stress - Quietens the DMN (Default Mode Network) of the brain. Elevates positive emotional states. Activates the parasympathetic nervous system for relaxing.
Depression - quietens the DMN (Default Mode Network) of the brain reducing negative thoughts. Elevates positive emotional states with experiences of bliss
Sleep Apnea - improves oxygenation of the blood and increases cardiovascular health.
Chronic Pain - reduces inflammation and relieves tensionDetox - Cleanse and purify the bloodstream and lymphatic system.
OPTIMISE
Train smart not hard! Whether you are an amateur or professional athlete or sports person you may know how important the breath is to your performance. What you may not know is how important it can be to your recovery and how it can increase your stamina and performance.
It could also be you just want to optimise your well being, to have more energy and clarity throughout the day or a stronger immune system.
There is a way to optimise your system through various breathing techniques where you will:
Increase stamina and performance
Reach deep blissful meditative states easily
Enhance your creativity
Heighten states of consciousness and inspiration.
Improve brain function and mind power
Increase CO2 tolerance to eventually reduce your respiratory rate.
MANIFEST
Finally this practice of manifestation will allow you to bring what you truly want into your life. For this to happen you will be able to work on removing past imprints and limiting beliefs that hold you back from becoming the person you have always wanted to be. Within reason :).
Using the proven SOMA Breath Awakening process you can:
Clear negative imprints and traumas from early life (0-7 years)
Reimprint with more empowering beliefs and habits.
Set intentions, create motivation and energy to complete important goals.
Access Self realisation, discover your true self, your deeper inner calling.
