Breathwork
Breathwork is...
"any breathing exercise or technique that people can perform to improve their mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing"
(Gateways Workshops)
The foundations of breathwork practice can be traced back to ancient India, China and Egypt as well as being integral to Buddhist meditation as it is a powerful tool for developing mindfulness and achieving inner peace.
Breathwork saw a resurgence in the 1960s when the power of breathwork in relation to healing was identified.
More recently, breathwork has achieved attention once more not only as a tool for healing but also to support self-discovery and growth.
Breathwork, however, is not solely linked to mindfulness, spirituality or self-discovery, which can be off-putting for some. Breathwork is the perfect tool to support you with the challenges, pace and stresses of modern day life and work. Engaging in regular breathwork and also having an understanding of breathwork practices to utilise in specific situations will support you as you develop both personally and professionally as can be used as part of your overall development and wellbeing strategies.
I would argue that breathwork is a core foundational tool that supports us to positively manage ourselves and situations that we find ourselves in as well as support overall wellbeing and physical and mental health.
