Read the description first 👇 We have been practicing, studying and teaching breathwork for many years and this form in particular is one that is very powerful and will enable you to break through into a different layer of consciousness where you can release stress, let go of anxiety and fear and move towards more happiness, peace and love. We studied breathwork at the root in the himalayan mountains in India.
The increase of oxygen will result in higher ph levels in your body which will make the immune system, cardiovascular system and others function better. It also releases your 'happy' hormones and will often leave you feel euphoric.
This breathwork if done regularly is proven to boost your immune system. The caves of the monks centuries ago were not that warm, so they developed these tools to create internal heat. What else would you want besides a strong healthy body and a happy mind and open heart? This is essentially a combination of bhastrika pranayama, tummo breathing and kumbhaka. This breathwork practice is very old and has been practiced by yogis, monks, shamans and healers alike for hundreds if not thousands of years. The techniques have gained popularity in the past several years because of yoga teachers in the west as well as the wim hof method. There are no new techniques being taught from neither of these groups but instead they're all shining light on ancient techniques from yoga and buddhism with kind and loving intention.
If breathing in and out through the mouth does not work for you currently, you can also breathe through the nose. The breath count can vary and be adjusted to your preference. A general orientation is 25-35 breaths, which works well for most people. You can of course do more or less than that. In fact in the healing practice of holotropic breathwork based on Stanislav Grof, this breath pattern is being done for up to 10-20 minutes without a break. We do not recommend that you do this without professional guidance, but instead contact a trained holotropic breathwork guide.
In the functional anatomy systems (FRC and Kinstretch) this breathing exercise is known as a variation of the maximal expansive breathing technique and is training the diaphragm to function better which will result in better breathing patterns.
Get comfortable and let's do this together. We recommend doing this exercise sitting or laying down when you're in a safe place. Don't do this one in the shower, in a pool or bathtub or while operating any kind of vehicle. All the sensations that are coming up are usually part of it. Stay with the breath and follow the instructions as good as you can, but modify if you feel there is a better working way for you. We recommend consulting a doctor first before doing this kind of breathing exercise.
Don't do this breathwork if you're pregnant or have epilepsy! See a medical professional if you fall under this category.
