Breathing Technique to Relieve Stress: Self-Care Awareness Month

9/19/2019

Comments

 
Stress. That vague constricting feeling, the weight that drags on you. It shows up as tight shoulders, low energy, clenched jaws. You have your ways to cope with stress, from talking with a friend, helping someone out, getting a big hug, exercising, or a hot bath. What would probably make a huge difference in your wellbeing is deep breathing.

Breathing is the key to regulating the nervous system, to relieve stress, promote relaxation, and more. Transformational Breathwork is a practice of guided, conscious breath that allows the body to reset from fight-flight-freeze mode, stimulating the vagus nerve, and starting a ripple effect to help every system in the body perform optimally.

Breathing is unique, because you can control it when you want to and because breath is so basic to living, it is the foundation of all health systems. Self-care encompasses many aspects of health: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

Since September is Self-Care Awareness Month, we feature breath as a self-care practice. By learning to harness your breath through the methods you learn in a Transformational Breathwork workshop, you can bring this practice into your everyday life to improve your overall health in all of those areas, not just your stress response.

The 4-hour introduction workshop will teach you how. Everyone is welcome to attend an Introduction to Transformational Breathwork workshop. Participants frequently report that they can release negative emotions, stresses, and even the subconscious aftermath of traumatic events.

The Emerging Breath Community at HAC

6/12/2018

Comments

   For years, The Healing Arts Center has taught its massage therapy students basic transformational breathwork.  Two years ago, the school started teaching this breath practice to the public by offering its Introduction to Transformational Breathwork workshop three times a year.  HAC has been steadily building up a body of people who are trained to practice this intensive healing practice.  Some students have found that transformational breathwork has allowed them to completely recover from depression, panic attack disorder and other debilitating conditions often associated with past trauma.   It is not unusual for a breathwork client to say that a single session of transformational breathwork can do what years of talk therapy cannot.
     In the past century, several modern western traditions of breathwork have emerged:
  • Dr. ​Stanislav Grof's Holotropic Breathwork
  • Judith Kravitz's Transformational Breath
  • Leonard Orr's Rebirthing Therapy
While the HAC basic breath training is inspired by all three of these schools of thought, its basic program is primarily based on the Kravitz and Transformational Breath model.

At the Cancer Clinic Caregiver Appreciation Event, Karen Kowal demonstrates how to use the trigger point shoulder pillow.
     There are many unique programs at the Healing Arts Center that are designed to contribute to the community while providing students with opportunities to explore the many facets of care that massage therapy can offer.  Perhaps the most important is HAC's free cancer clinic.  This clinic is designed to provide holistic wellness care to anyone who is in treatment for cancer.  There is no charge for this service. 
Click To Learn More About The Clinic
    Massage Therapy offers many benefits for cancer patients.  It can greatly reduce the stress and anxiety that often arises from having cancer and can reduce or eliminate the pain of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.   Student therapists who participate in the clinic are among HAC's best, in fact, being chosen to participate in the HAC Free Cancer Clinic is considered honors status at graduation.  Being of service is part of the HAC mission and our students and graduates deliver care through Reiki and light-touch massage to clients who truly can use healing touch.  HAC has developed considerable expertise in restoring quality of life to cancer patients.
     New developments in the Healing Art Center’s Free Cancer Clinic include: 
  • Additional Clinic Time
  • Wellness Events for Cancer Clinic clients
  • Call for Graduate Cancer Clinicians
  • Recognition of Cancer Clinicians who graduated last week

Former Cancer Patient Gives Back to HAC's Free Cancer Clinic

     Students in Cancer Clinic Training listen to Connie Smith share about her experience with breast cancer and how receiving massage and Reiki in the clinic provided her relief, calm, and a sense of well-being.

Connie Smith and students in Cancer Clinic Training
     Ms. Smith has been coming to the Healing Arts Center’s cancer clinic since she started receiving treatment for breast cancer in 2016.  She shared with the students in the Cancer Clinic Training about how restorative it was to come to the clinic and feel cared for and nurtured in contrast to her experience of beginning cancer treatment at the hospital.  Connie provides a personal perspective in the training for students to understand what cancer clients are going through and the difference that the Cancer Clinic makes. Contributing to the student’s training is only one of the ways in which Connie has demonstrated her commitment to the clinic.  She has become a very energetic advocate for Cancer Clinic because of the unique care that it provides for people dealing with the effects of cancer treatment, chemo, radiation, surgery.

HAC Opens Registration for its 20 Week Certified Breathworker Master Track for 2018.

Taught Only Once A Year, The Breathwork Master Track Is Back, But Enrollment Is Limited.

Certified Breathworker Master Track Graduating Class of 2017
HAC's First-Ever Certified Breathworker Master Track, Graduating Class, 2017
     Last year, HAC launched a revolution in wellness care by training twenty-four new certified breathworkers in its first-ever Master Track Program.  Breathwork has become a staple wellness modality at The Healing Arts Center in both its workshop programming and professional clinic offerings.  HAC considers transformational breathwork to be one of the most powerful and accessible healing modalities available anywhere.  This is because of the ability of breathwork to completely release the psychological effects of suppressed emotional obscurations such as trauma, sometimes in a single breath session.
HAC has been advocating that massage therapists should consider diversifying their therapeutic training to include modalities that can be delivered in a group setting.  Direct one-on-one therapies have a strictly limited earning potential whereas modalities that can be delivered in a one-to-many classroom distribution can greatly enhance the earning potential of a massage therapy, yoga or other holistic practice.
