One thing I have only just heard of in the last few days is something called Transformational breathing. It's a process in which you learn to manage your breath so you are breathing repeatedly without any stop at the end of the breath. This is supposed to get you into a trance like state and help people process emotions that may be holding you back and help with physical conditions.
It is said that it creates a closer spititual connection which I think is probably a key thing if you want to really feel connected in the world.
I am going to book an appointment with an experienced practioner and give it a go. I will post again with what happens after I have had the session.
Thanks for reading!
Beautifully put! I teach yoga and meditation and this one of the simplest easiest techniques to heal yourself.
Have you tried transformational breathing before?
Not specifically, Interested because I love anything transformal and I love breath work.
Breathing techniques are the easiest, cheapest and most direct way to willingly influence one´s autonomic nervous system. So everybody can live more healthy by simply learning controlled breathing. There are even some free Pranayama Apps with pre-defined breathing patterns. Also, I like combining breathing exercises with mindfulness meditation :-) There is plenty of free information on both mindfulness meditation and breathing exercises on the internet. On google scholar one can also look up some scientific studies on the benefits of controlled breathing, there are some interesting research papers. Have a nice day everyone! Feel free to contact me if you have questions on the topic :-)
Well said, breathing is the most direct way to access life force energy. Always there, and it's present even for the biggest skeptics. Lots of good energy to all of you!
Thank you! I look at the breath like a sort of interface. It is the physiological connection between our autonomic nervous system, which we normally can´t control on purpose, and the processes we can control by will. It is the link between mind and body.
Yeh and we walk around with this tool every day so it makes sense to make best use of it in our daily lives.
Yeah, I hope both of you will keep teaching this to whoever is willing to listen. It can only bring positive change.
Exactly. Great comment.
Thank you :-)
Yeh this transformational breathing technique seems to be different to normal breathing techniques taught in yoga, qigong, meditation etc. It's very much more full on from what I see, it is supposed to build up the carbon dioxide in your body which then some say is linked to the spiritual type effect you get similar to taking LSD. It sounds very interesting and looking forward to trying it out.
Regulating breathing is a lot of benefits
As you say @carface
Deep breathing reduces stress and it is great to be more aware and conscious. Give it a go, I believe it will benefit you a lot.
Transformational breathing is very important in yoga.
thank you for this post. i'll be glad to see dear @carface
Have you done transformational breathing before?
good post
good acount follow you
i heard about this technique but didn't actually find a professional here to manage it , do u know any useful videos or something to help with that ?
I've only recently found about it but just type transformational breathing into YouTube and you will get some good vids and I think the transformationalbreath website has lists of practioners.
Yeh if it can help then we should all really be taught this in schools.
