What is Breath Therapy?


Breath Therapy is a highly personal, experiential process that uses specific breathing techniques to clear out physical, mental and emotional blocks or stresses. This is a safe and proven method of utilizing simple breathing practices to quickly and easily enter into a non-ordinary state of consciousness. This trance state allows unconscious and previously repressed thoughts and emotions to rise to the surface for release and integration.


Breath Therapy is based on ancient Eastern principles and further explained by modern Western scientific methods. Various focused breathing techniques are used to induce a relaxation response, inhibited breathing patterns, release negative emotional energy and future stress response, channel vital energy or life force, and stimulate self from past experiences, and improve awareness.


Breath Therapy works on the principle that there is a direct connection between the psychological, emotional, spiritual and physical well being and the openness of the breath. The use of breathing techniques produces a self generated altered state of consciousness that can be used in much the same way as hypnosis with the client directing the process. Experiences range from deep physical relaxation, emotional release, psychological understanding and expanded spiritual experiences.

The simple act of daily breathing is the ultimate healer,
but it is neglected, taken for granted and inhibited.
