Breath is one of the most vital parts of life, yet it is often forgotten, because it is automatic we don’t have to think about breathing our bodies just do it. Since we don’t have to think about it we also don’t realize its power.

It is one of the most powerful tools we have available to us. Have you ever noticed when you are scared or feeling anxious that your breath quickens? Or that taking a few deep breaths can help calm you down when you are angry? This is the power that your breath has.

It can transform your emotional states, it can boost your immune system, and it can help you release trauma that has been stored in your body.

I recently did an amazing private circular breath work session and it was truly a transformative experience. I had done breath work before in group settings and always enjoyed it but having a private session was really amazing.

I was beautifully guided though the entire experience. Helping me to maintain the breath even when it got more and more challenging, allowing me to be with all of the feelings that were coming up as I was releasing past trauma that had been stored in my body. I experienced fairly strong tetany during the session, which I was not surprised about because every time I had done circular breath work I had experienced tetany.

Tetany is where you experience stiffness in parts of your body and you can find it difficult to move. For me my arms and legs were shaking a lot and my hands were stiff, it didn’t hurt it just made it harder for me to maintain the circular breathing. Which is why it was so amazing to have a private session to guide me and help me keep going.

Her energy was so calming, encouraging, and supportive. I felt totally cared for and safe through out the entire experience, which is really important when you are doing healing work and releasing trauma, yet it is not always the case.

I have tried many different healing modalities and therapies over the years to work through the trauma and abuse from my past and I can say that breath work has to be one of my favorite. I also went into this one on one session with the intention to release as much of the trauma that had been stored in my body as possible, which is probably why it was such an intense experience.

At the end of our session I felt really amazing. It was like I had done a really long yoga practice where I was able to stretch my entire body.  Which was pretty incredible considering all I did was lay on my bed and breathe for an hour. My body felt physically lighter, I had energy and wasn’t tired at all, and I absolutely felt like I had released a good deal of trauma from my body.

Now that it has been a few months since we had our session I can say that my body still feels lighter and that the trauma I released is truly gone. I have had multiple breakthroughs and shifts that have happened in my life since we did our session.

I have been able to more fully accept and love myself. I have made some major progress in learning to cook and nourishing myself with healthy food, which has been the last hurdle for me with my eating disorder. I have also had significant breakthroughs in regards to the sexual abuse that happened during my childhood.

I truly believe that the breath work session I did  allowed my body to let go of holding on to certain trauma that had been stored for a long time and as a result I was able to do deeper work to free myself further from many things in my past.

I am super grateful for this powerful healing tool. I highly suggest this work for anyone who is looking to further heal and let go of the things in their past.

It is an incredibly powerful breath work modality, that is a circular connected breathing pattern enhancing oxygen to your body and spirit. This breath work is pure medicine- breath medicine, that offers a whole system cleansing, mending, oxygenation, release of trauma or stored energy, relief of anxiety/panic/depression, breakthroughs and clarity as well as reprogramming our nervous system and increasing resiliency to stress- something I believe we can all practice more in our life. 

Our breath not only sustains our life, but how we breathe directly influences the state of our nervous system which includes the fight or flight-or the sympathetic response, as well as the calming and grounded social response which is part of the parasympathetic/vagal nerve aspect of our nervous system.

Intentional conscious breath brings us back into the present moment and grounds us and using diaphragmatic circular breath helps bring us into our parasympathetic response system to increase overall wellness.
