What is Breathwork?

Rooted in ancient practices and modern science, breathwork is a profound tool for healing, growth, and self-discovery. Let’s delve into the essence of breathwork and explore the main concepts behind my two favourite breathwork techniques: SOMA Breath and Conscious Connected Breathing.

What is Breathwork?

Breathwork is more than just breathing; it’s a holistic practice that uses conscious, controlled breathing techniques to improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being. By altering our breathing patterns, we can access deeper states of consciousness, release stored emotions, and cultivate a profound sense of inner peace.

The Foundations of SOMA Breath

SOMA Breath is an innovative approach to breathwork that combines ancient pranayama techniques with modern science. It focuses on rhythmic breathing patterns, music, and guided visualization to create an immersive and transformative experience. SOMA Breath has also currently being studied by Cambridge University.

Key Concepts of SOMA Breath:

1. Rhythmic Breathing:

   • SOMA Breath emphasizes breathing in specific rhythms to harmonize the body and mind. This rhythmic breathing helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress.

2. Breath Retention:

   • Breath retention, or holding the breath after inhalation or exhalation, is a core component of SOMA Breath. This practice can enhance oxygenation, increase resilience to stress, and induce heightened states of awareness.

3. Visualization and Music:

   • Guided visualizations and specially designed music are integral to SOMA Breath sessions. These elements help create a multisensory experience that deepens the impact of the practice and supports emotional release and healing.

The Power of Conscious Connected Breathing

Conscious Connected Breathing (CCB) is another powerful technique that forms the cornerstone of breathwork practices at Wild Breathwork. This method involves continuous, uninterrupted breathing without pauses between the inhale and exhale.

Benefits of Conscious Connected Breathing:

1. Emotional Release:

   • CCB facilitates the release of suppressed emotions and traumas stored in the body. By maintaining a continuous flow of breath, we can access and release deep-seated emotional blockages, promoting healing and emotional freedom.

2. Increased Energy:

   • This technique enhances the flow of oxygen and prana (life force energy) throughout the body, leading to increased vitality and a heightened sense of aliveness.

3. Deep Relaxation and Clarity:

   • CCB activates the parasympathetic nervous system, inducing a state of deep relaxation and mental clarity. It helps quiet the mind, reduce anxiety, and cultivate a profound sense of inner peace.
