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.
Movement and Breathwork: A Deeper Embodiment
Have you ever experienced that magical flow state in a vinyasa yoga class, where your breath effortlessly guides each movement, creating a seamless dance between body and mind? It's a feeling of complete immersion, where time seems to dissolve and you become one with the rhythm of your breath and the flow of your body. This harmonious union of breath and movement is at the heart of an embodied breathwork practice.
Rituals for Morning Breathwork
You want to start using Breathwork in your life but the idea of incorporating breathwork into your already busy mornings might feel like just another thing to add to your to-do list.
Morning breathwork doesn't need to be complicated or time-consuming. It's about carving out a few precious moments or even seconds at the start of your day to connect with your breath and set a positive intention for what lies ahead. Think of it as a gentle wake-up call for your body and mind, replacing that groggy feeling with a sense of calm clarity and vitality.
