How it helps
Our energy, our circulation, our life itself depends on the expansion and release of our breathing mechanism, the movement we create within our bodies and the constant exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. If our breathing becomes restricted we may limit the effectiveness of this process and this may show up in physical illness, general lack of energy, or feeling emotionally drained or upset.
Indeed restricted breathing can be caused by emotional upset. We hold our breath to prevent ourselves being overwhelmed by our feelings and when this becomes habitual we lose the ability to breathe deeply and connect to our spiritual well-being, our relationship to love and joy.
Transformational Breath® encourages a full diaphragmatic breath. This, in turn, massages all the organs that come into contact with, or are affected by, the movement of the diaphragm. Our Facilitators are trained to observe the breath and see physically where the breath is being held and where any blockages may be. They will then use simple techniques including adjusting the position of the body, gentle hands-on pressure, sound techniques and positive affirmations to help the breath to open up and flow more freely.
Because it encourages a constant, flowing, open breath, the specific breath pattern in Transformational Breath® can access blocked areas of emotion without usual holding habits. In this way, past emotional memories held in the body can surface and finally be integrated.
With regular, brief periods of practice as recommended by your facilitator, the breath will begin to flow more freely at all times and it is common for people to report better health, mental clarity and emotional freedom. Transformational Breath® is simple to learn and suitable for people of all ages, from newborn to old age. A few sessions with a facilitator will enable you to use this technique for yourself as a lifelong tool.
Many have also found they experience expanded states of consciousness, or a stronger connection to spirit while cultivating a greater awareness of the breath and self. Your life can open up and become more fulfilling through the practice of Transformational Breath®.
We make no claims to cure illness, however facilitators know experientially that Transformational Breath® can successfully support clients with a range of physical and emotional conditions. The Transformational Breath Foundation UK is committed to exploring how this works and why it helps and welcomes research into Transformational Breath® and related areas
