The Start of My Breathwork Journey
My journey into breathwork began with two pivotal experiences that drew my attention to the importance of proper breathing techniques. In 2022, I participated in a local community theatre show. The musical director noticed I had shallow breathing patterns, which was hindering my vocal projection, so I tried just simple breathing deeper on my own. Six months later, I decided to try Reiki for the first time. Interestingly, the Reiki teacher also pointed out my shallow breathing and emphasized the benefits of deeper breathing techniques for both physical and emotional health.
