Clarity Breathwork

`

Did you know that breathwork can clear blockages and help you get unstuck?

Clarity Breathwork is another form of breathwork that supports healing. It’s a powerful way to clear blocked emotions and be more aware of the present moment.

It’s often used as a way to overcome challenges that feel resistant to any of the inner and outer work you may have been doing. This can include physical problems that persist despite your best healing efforts or issues related to work, relationships, and other areas of your life.

Clarity Breathwork can provide you with the tools to overcome repetitive patterns, beliefs, and challenges. The end result? A lasting transformation and empowerment to make positive changes in your life. And it all comes from using your breath as a tool for healing. How amazing is that? Think of it as a tool for quite literally breathing into your healing.

So how does Clarity Breathwork work? The focus is on controlled and continuous circular breathing. This type of breathing can be very gentle.

But either way, it helps you achieve a higher state of consciousness that is so important for healing mind, body and spirit. Through this state, the body can harness its innate healing ability and you can tap into your inner wisdom.

The aim is full embodiment and being fully present within the body. If you’re feeling stuck or traumatized, there’s always a reason for this and it may come from as far back as childhood or pre-conception. Often, you won’t have any idea of this until it is pieced together and released through breathwork.

Before a Clarity Breathwork session, you’ll set an intention. After the session, there is space for sharing.

Rebirthing Breathwork is based on the concept that your thoughts and beliefs have a huge impact on your life, and that changing them can also transform your life.

The Rebirthing breathwork technique was first created by Leonard Orr and is also known as Conscious Energy Breathing (CEB).

Rebirthing addresses unprocessed or repressed emotions that are impacting you physically. This will often be linked to trauma or difficult emotions that couldn’t be processed at the time. By accessing your subconscious mind, you can address thoughts and beliefs and gain a much deeper understanding of who you are.

With regular practice, Rebirthing Breathwork can continue to have transformational benefits that ultimately leads you into a state of abundance and inner happiness.

Circular breathing is at the center of this type of breathwork. There’s no pause between “in breaths” and “out breaths”, which helps create a type of energy. This energy can help push stuck and unprocessed emotions out of the cellular memory so they can become integrated.

After this, the continued focus on the breath enables greater clarity and bliss – hence the “rebirth”!

Positive affirmations also help to remove blocks and achieve positivity and abundance.

During Rebirthing Breathwork, you may feel a release of emotions – often triggered by the connection with your subconscious. Bringing these emotions to the surface so that they can be released is a key part of finding inner peace and reaching a higher level of consciousness. It can be a highly spiritual experience.

Imagine how fantastic (and different!) your life could be if you can process stuck emotions and move past blocks, all through the power of your breath!

Are you looking for a way to release trauma and repressed emotions without having to re-experience trauma? Somatic Breathwork can be a powerful way to achieve this.

Somatic Breathwork Healing (SBH) uses a two-part Pranayama breathing practice, which changes your state of consciousness. This allows stuck energy and emotions to be released.

It can also help you transform your energy, manage stress, make space for your passion, sleep better, recover from trauma and ultimately take control of your life.

Somatic Breathwork builds on the principles of Rebirthing, Holotropic, Transformational and Therapeutic Breathwork.

It works best alongside mindfulness to help you become aware of your mind and body and self-regulate.

Breathing through your mouth is the mainstay of SBH, with no pauses between inhales and exhales. Imagine your breath forming an oval shape from your pelvis and up through your back and into your throat. Follow this quickly with an exhale (no pause) and let the breath move freely from your mouth, down the front of your body and back down towards the pelvis. Repeat this cycle with no pauses.

This is the basic premise of SBH. Ideally, the tempo is full and slow and you receive more oxygen while breathing in than you would while resting.

SBH always takes place with a qualified SBH practitioner/facilitator, who can customize sessions to your needs so you can get the most from them.

The next stage is for your facilitator to guide you into a state where you can become fully aware of somatic sensations and your body can release trauma and stuck emotions. Somatic Breathwork can involve touch too but won’t always.

Either way, it’s an incredible way to heal and balance mind and body.

Extreme athlete, Wim Hof, is well-known for his belief that you can achieve anything with the right conditioning and control over your body.

He developed a breathing technique that acts as the first pillar for doing this and it’s something that you technically teach yourself and use whenever you need to.

This is the premise: the oxygen inhaled when you breathe in impacts the energy released into cells in the body and used in chemical and physiological processes. In a nutshell, breathing becomes a tool to influence the autonomic nervous system.

From this basis, Wim Hof has created specific breathing exercises that promote physical wellbeing and maintain bodily control even in extreme conditions.

The Wim Hof technique involves gentle but deep breaths and your breath should come naturally and not feel forced at all. It’s recommended to do this for 30-40 breaths. You may start to feel a little light-headed or feel some tingling in your fingers and toes and that’s a completely natural response to breathing in this way.

After the final exhales, take one last inhale and try to do this as deeply as possible. When you release the breath, hold yourself in this state until you feel the need to breathe again. At this point, breathe deeply to fill your lungs with air and hold for up to 15 seconds. This exercise creates a short stress response that is designed to build resilience.

The Wim Hof Breathing techniques are only the first pillar of the Wim Hof Method. The other two are controlled exposure to the cold and commitment. You don’t necessarily have to master the other pillars – breathing is a great place to start controlling your body!
