Breathwork

Breathing Release - Benicio Farina

There is one way of breathing that is shameful and constricted. Then there's another way:
a breath of love that takes you all the way to infinity.

What is Breathwork ?

Breathwork is a powerful, safe and gentle breathing technique which releases stress from the body an

d increases your energy level, for the purpose of experiencing more
ease and pleasure in your life. Developed in the early 70's it has
been practiced by many thousands of people throughout the world.
In a Breathwork session, a professionally trained Breathworker
guides your breath in a manner that increases the level of oxygen
in your body, which increases your energy. The increased levels
of oxygen stimulate the body's natural ability to cleanse itself.
Since 70% of body toxins are eliminated through breathing, it
supports us to learn to breathe freely and fully. Breathwork also
raises the blood's alkaline level, a result sought by many health
care professionals.

Other substantial benefits of breathwork are that it releases
stored emotions from the body and accesses the part of the brain
that stimulates memory. By learning to breathe consciously, one is
able to uncover and release limiting thought patterns from the past.
You can receive tremendous value from discovering how current
issues in your life originated from decisions you may have made
earlier on. By becoming aware of these decisions you are able
to choose differently in present time. Becoming consciously aware
of patterns or undesirable habits is the first step to change.

What does a Breathwork session look like?

Each session with a Breathworker involves a consultation and approximately an hour of connected breathing. In the consultation, your Breathworker will have the opportunity to discuss with you where you are in your life now and how they can best support you. Your Breathworker will collect information from you with the goal of supporting you in resolving current issues and changing undesirable patterns.

Why do I want a Breathworker?

A Breathworker is a professionally trained facilitator who will guide your breath in a way that enables you to process what occurs during the session. They will guide and support you through emotional releases, thoughts and memories that may surface and physical sensations that you may experience during a session. Your professional Breathworker is highly skilled at helping you trace complex issues in your life to the origins of your subconscious mind. By becoming aware of this pertinent information, your Breathworker will support you in finding solutions and resolutions.

Medical Data on Breathwork - Stress reduction and Good health

There are already scores of medical practitioners who recognize the value of deep breathing and the list is growing. For example, world-renowned cardiologist Dr. Dean Ornish says in his book Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease that deep breathing is the best stress reducer known to man. It has been medically proven that stress has a direct impact on the immune system. When your stress level is up, your immune system is down: when your stress level is down, your immune system is up. We can reduce our stress through deep breathing, which then boosts the immune system. We need to keep our immune system strong so we can fight off sickness. The immune system is our number-one line of defense against the viruses, bacteria and other invaders that make us ill, causing everything from minor colds and flu to some major illnesses. Deep breathing increases the oxygen levels in the blood, which strengthens our immune systems.

Dr. Alec Borsenko states, "Oxygen gets rid of toxicity. Bacteria, viruses and parasites are destroyed in the presence of oxygen-especially cancer." Breathing controls the flow of the lymphatic system. We have four times more lymphatic fluid then blood. Lymphatic cells release toxins from the body.

Paul Bragg, author of Super Breathing for Super Energy and also the person who developed the first health food store in this country in the late 1930's says in his book that we are slowly committing suicide in this country because of the way we live and breath. According to Bragg, shallow breathing starves the body of vital oxygen and causes premature aging. Bragg notes that oxygen-starved people go to bed tired and wake up tired. They suffer from headaches, constipation, indigestion, muscular aches and pains, stiff joints, aching backs, and the list goes on.

Not only do most people breathe shallowly, barely using one-fifth of the lungs' capacity to increase oxygen flow to their bodies, but, on top of everything else, there is much less oxygen in the air to breath. Two hundred years ago, our air was composed of 38 percent oxygen and 1 percent carbon dioxide. Today, because of pollution and other factors, it is 19 percent oxygen and 25 percent carbon dioxide.

Dr. McVea explains the importance of oxygen this way: "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. Oxygen contributes to proper metabolic function, better circulation, assimilation, digestion and elimination. It helps purify the blood, keeping it free from cellular build-up. Sufficient oxygen gives the body a chance to rebuild itself and strengthen its immune system. It is our natural defense against disease.

Medical research shows that over 90 percent of the body's energy is produced by oxygen, and that the more oxygen we have in our system, the more energy we produce. Our ability to think, feel, and act comes from the energy created by oxygen.

The Breathwork technique that we use, delivers vital oxygen to the body, delivering it to the blood, which in turn delivers it to our cells. Breathwork is one of the greatest catalysts to keeping the immune system peaked. It also has a calming and energizing effect on the nervous system. A Breathwork session is a total package for stress reduction, relaxation, good health and well being
