Spiritual Journey
Breath-Work
WHAT IS BREATH-WORK?
For millennia, cultures across the world have known about the healing power of breathing. Not only does it sustain human life, but it can bring about huge healing benefits if used correctly. Breath-Work is an ancient technique of strong, deep and rapid breathing.
In practicing Breath-Work, the breathing greatly amplifies the flow of the Qi, the life force energy (prana) through the body. At a certain point the amplified Qi starts to 'overflow' and open the Shen, the mental-emotional energy body. When this happens deep healing, profound personal insight, heightened awareness, and positive life transformation are all facilitated.
Breath-Work brings about harmony and happiness in the body and mind, dissolving personal blockages and limiting beliefs, healing past events and unresolved issues. What the flow cleans from its path and creates, in its essence, is an open conduit to Spirit.
BENEFITS OF BREATH-WORK:
- insight into behaviours and feelings
- reduced anxiety
- reduced stress levels
