The benefits of Breath Masters are numerous and profound. It helps you to heal and release trauma, lower stress levels, increase resiliency, & experience greater wellbeing. It also allows you to engage in a deeper connection with yourself and your body and is therefore helpful for resolving chronic pain, addictions, & emotional issues.

It also helps you to reclaim your personal power, especially in the face of trauma. It allows you to reconnect with your innate healing capabilities by allowing your body to respond in the most constructive way possible, rather than letting negative or fearful emotions take over.

The Role of Breathwork in Reducing Anxiety and Depression

Breathwork also improves lung capacity, increasing the amount of oxygen that is absorbed in and expelled from the body with each breath. This helps to reduce carbon dioxide levels in the blood and shifts the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, which affects Heart Rate Variability (HRV), stress hormone concentrations, muscle tension, and more.

The most common use of Breathwork is in psychotherapy. It is used to help clients to heal from the past, process trauma, and overcome emotional difficulties such as depression. The session is usually done by two people in a quiet, comfortable space with relaxing music. One person will lie down and engage in a circular breathing exercise, while the other person accompanies them to provide support.

As with any new practice, it’s important to start small and gradually build up your daily engagement. To get the best results, try to commit to 2-5 minutes of focused breathing each day and set a reminder in your phone so you don’t forget.
