The Truth behind Breathing your way to Wellness
In this enlightening solo episode of Can’t Be Contained, I dive deep into the surprising benefits of breathwork and explore its profound impact on our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Join me as I break down the science behind breathwork, discussing how it regulates the autonomic nervous system, improves oxygenation and cellular function, reduces cortisol levels, activates the vagus nerve, and alters brainwave states. By understanding the mechanisms at play, we can harness the power of breathwork to achieve a state of calm, clarity, and heightened awareness.
I also delve into the two primary breathwork techniques we practice at Pause Breathwork: integrative and meditative. Discover the key differences between these approaches and learn when to use each one for optimal results. Whether you’re looking to boost your energy and focus throughout the day or embark on a deeper spiritual journey of release and healing, there’s a breathwork practice that can support your unique needs and goals.
Through this episode, I aim to empower you with the knowledge and tools to incorporate breathwork into your daily life, no matter how busy you may be. By stealing pockets of time for this transformative practice, you can reset, recalibrate, and fill your body with the good stuff while releasing anything that’s holding you back. Join me on this breathtaking journey and experience the life-changing benefits of breathwork for yourself!
