Breathwork: The Foundation of All Health Practices

11/29/2017

Comments

 
For Centuries, Eastern Wellness Systems Have Understood Breath As An Essential Foundation For All Health and Meditative Practices.  Western Wellness Is Finally Catching Up.

Healing Arts Center Headmaster, Tom Tessereau considers breathwork to be so important that multiple methods of this essential health practice are taught to every student at HAC.  Tom shares his knowledge with the public as well as his students and has been a practitioner of breathwork for many years. 
     For those interested in good health, fitness, meditation, or nutrition, they find that when they add breathwork to their practice, it transforms the results they are already getting in other areas. 
      Anyone can register for Releasing 2017 – Creating 2018, an introduction to transformational breathwork workshop, happening December 31st.  This is an opportunity for participants to discover breathwork and bid farewell to this year as they create their intention for life in 2018.

People Take Their Breathing For Granted

      Take a moment to notice your own breathing.  How much of your lung capacity are you using?  Take a full and complete inhalation.  Compare that to how you were breathing a minute ago.  Notice your energy level in relation to your breathing.
     Most people unconsciously breathe too frequently and without sufficient depth.  This severely limits the amount of air they take in and the amount of energy they have.
More than anything else, good health and well-being is dependent on the maximum production, maintenance and flow of energy, which is produced by oxygen.
Dr. Norman McVea, Ph.D., Psychologist. Director at the Oxygen Research Institute, Mill Valley, CA

     Transformational Breathwork allows participants to release areas of blocked energy and reset inhibiting patterns of breathing.  People who practice breathwork experience numerous health benefits, including releasing emotions, chronic psychological trauma, even relief from PTSD.  Practitioners often find they have greater energy, better sleep, and a clearer and calmer mind. 
     In an introduction class attendees will learn how to breathe fully and train their body to breathe in a pattern that creates energy and vitality.

Some Benefits of Proper Breathing:

  • Deep breathing relaxes the body, triggering the “rest and digest” of the parasympathetic nervous system
  • Proper inhalation and exhalation promotes healing of tissues and detoxification
  • Full breathing causes the diaphragm to work in concert with the pumping of the heart
  • Uninhibited breath gives one a clear mind, focus, and energy
Breathing is the key that unlocks the whole catalog of advanced biological function and development.  Is it any wonder that it is so central to every aspect of health? 
Breathing is the first place, not the last, one should look when fatigue, disease, or other evidence of disordered energy presents itself. 
Breathing is truly the body’s most basic communication system.
Dr. Sheldon Hendler, MD, PhD. Medical Researcher Cell Oxygenation,
Author: The Oxygen Breakthrough – The Textbook on Medical Physiology.

Harness the Power of Breath

     Eastern medicine and practices like Chi-gong, Yoga and various martial arts have incorporated the use of breath to move energy in the body for millennia.  Through breathwork, people can use their conscious mind to bring balance to the bodily processes that seem involuntary.
     Like any kind of fitness regime, transformational breathwork requires a person to have focus and intention.  Having a coach guide participants through the exercises is a great way to train in this new technique. A breathwork facilitator can coach someone in a classroom setting or a private session to realize the profound benefits of this practice.
     The workshop on New Year’s Eve day, Releasing 2017 – Creating 2018, will be in a group format in a large classroom.  Tom will be the facilitator that coaches the session.  He will guide participants through exercises and breathing techniques to free themselves of emotional baggage, and create a free flow of energy.  Through breathwork anyone can release what holds them back and create the life they want.
