How do I do Breathwork?
What is breathwork and why do it? Breathing is one of the most powerful tools the human spirit has to heal itself. Our bodies are amazing vehicles that can outperform any negative energy when we use our fuel for good. We have the ability to heal ourselves beyond our wildest imagination.
If you are new to breathwork, this type of healing is all about moving our breath in different forms. I always start slow and let you know that we’re going to rev up just like revving up a car and then we’re going to get into the journey that will open up your path to personal healing.
What are the types of Breathwork we do?
What is breathwork? Breathwork is a two-part pranayama breath that’s done lying down. The first breath is an inhale through the belly, the second breath is an inhale through the chest, and then you exhale out your mouth. But what are the types?
It’s an active breathing meditation that’s beneficial for everyone but is particularly helpful for people who struggle with meditating. Because it requires your participation and doesn’t require you to sit still, it helps you get out of your head, into your body and allows you to access your spirit self.
Some people struggle with the two-part breath, which is why we start slow and work up to it. I also encourage people to move around if they want, or I’ll have them put their hand somewhere on their body to find that connection if they’re struggling with the breathing pattern.
This breathing technique floods your body with oxygen so people might feel tingly in certain parts of their body, especially in their hands. This is totally normal and you can reduce the intensity by simply slowing down the breath. Beth also teaches you fire breath, cooling breath, box breathing, whatever is needed in that session together.
I also encourage nose breathing after reading Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor. All forms of conscious and intentional breathing can promote mental and physical healing. I do believe in breathing through the nose and the mouth depending on what modality you are needing it for. I like to take you on a journey through your breath using your nose and mouth so you can get to “know who you are” in your whole body.
Breath healing gives you the courage to gather your mental and emotional trash and eliminate it.
Come “unstuck yourself” and heal with me as I give you all the personal coaching you need along the way! Each breathing session is a unique experience designed just for you and each time is different as we peel your own personal onion. Virtually or in-person options (1-on-1 or group) are available. Sign up and stay consistent, this is the key to “unstucking” ourselves. It is maintenance to stay healthy and you and your tribe are worth it.
Humans tend to stop doing things that are good for them once they start to feel better. You must be willing to push past that obstacle and reach higher because true healing comes from doing the work every single day.
Teaching breathing is my passion and I was put on this earth to help you on your journey. Contact me today and let's get you, your family, your company breathing better!
What is to be expected in a session?
No matter how we gather in a session, virtually or in person or group, the set up is the same. Create a quiet, safe space if we are virtually and if in person Beth has created this space for you. Come wearing comfy clothes or to be in virtually. Breath needs movement so our clothes matter, our space matters and it is time to take up space. This is what the breath does in this session. We take out the “trash” that no longer serves you and replace it with the breath of the truth of your mission. And always the return back to the vibration of love. Time goes by fast in these sessions so Beth packs in every moment for you, each session is uniquely how Spirit wants it to be and each one is very powerful. Active breathwork with intentions create magic.
Who is Breathwork for & contraindications?
Breathwork is for anyone ready to reduce stress, regulate their nervous system, and reconnect to their body—whether you’re a busy professional, parent, healer, or simply seeking clarity, emotional release, and deeper inner peace.
Contraindications:
Not recommended (or requires medical clearance) for those who are pregnant (talk to Beth about this) , have severe cardiovascular conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, epilepsy/seizure disorders, or serious mental health conditions such as schizophrenia or active psychosis.
Virtual Breathwork vs. In Person Breathwork?
Breathwork is powerful no matter where you are, there you are! When we are willing to show up, anything is possible. This is great if you are traveling, local and like a “routine” such as morning breathwork after the house is quiet or for your bedtime “routine”. Make it a virtual date night with yourself, your mate or someone you love. IN person of course comes with more perks and there is a pay increase for in person. This includes a salt foot soak, tea ceremony, massage, drumming and longer sound therapy and much more time. It is powerful and so is virtual.
