Connection. Stillness. Calm. Comfort. These are some of the many benefits to breath work. As you dance with the rise and fall; rise and fall of your breath, surrendering to the resistance, which almost always arises when we push ourselves, you find yourself coming to place of stillness. Stillness of mind. In turn unlocking the magic of the present moment. The all that ever is. Expanding consciousness cascading out in endless waves before meeting itself once again in the centre. Your centre. The centre of your being. Your heart.
Breathwork sessions at the Centre of Life focus on Conscious Connected Breathing, which means that there is no pause at the top of the inhale nor at the bottom of the exhale. We breathe through the mouth, purely because this allows us to take in more air. We consciously partake in the exchange between human and nature, joyfully gorging on the oxygen that our plant and plankton cohabitants of Mother Earth share with us so freely, in turn giving them the carbon dioxide that they need to survive. The constant exchange that we all share in in every moment of every day.
Breathwork is a process of deep purification on a cellular level.
We raise our energy in tune with each other and with music and sound to bring about ecstatic states of awareness. It allows us to move through trauma and hurt, to see the love which births us in every moment, to rejoice in the simple gift of being alive, and the holiness of each breath we take.
Some other benefits of breathwork include:
- Boost your immune system
- Feel energised
- Nourishing peace and relaxation
- Release anxiety, stress and alleviate depression
- Assists with sleep issues
- Ease respiratory conditions
- Awareness of emotions halting your personal growth
- Releasing emotional baggage
- Promote health and wellbeing
- Moving beyond what stands between you and your happiness
- Understand the nature of spirit
- Develop new dimensions to your spiritual practice
Breathwork sessions are hosted at The Centre of Life every second Thursday evening, and other special events.
