Breathwork Techniques

Enough about this now! Below I have just a few of the different breathing techniques I use in my daily practice. All questions are welcomed, don’t be a stranger!

CCB (conscious connective breathwork)

A very powerful breathing technique being done laying down on your back. CO2 regulated which takes you to your hidden emotional states as high amounts of CO2 activates different parts of our brain’s. When doing this one you can go through stages of being a master mind genius, crying your eyes out, hysterically laughing or raving away in dance. This one is the one to go to when you need a cleanse and an awakening!

Paced Breathing

Six breaths in and out per minute > lowering the heart rate > calming down our nervous system > Lowering the stimulation of the stress hormone cortisol > Great technique for stress management.

5 minutes of this practice has been proven to lower cortisol levels with up to 20%, pretty cool stuff!

Box Breath

4-4-4-4 meaning breathe in for 4 seconds > hold your breath for 4 seconds > breathe out for 4 seconds > hold your breath for 4 seconds. Due to the slow and longer ways of breathing and out out with breath holds inbetween we regulate the blood pressure with this one as it calms down the nervous system. This one is excellent to do before going to bed (couple of minutes are enough) and this is also the one if you’re in the middle of a panic attack or having severe anxiety. It “brings you back” to your normal. Enjoy!

If wanting something a bit more intense you can also do the 4-7-8 > breathe in for 4 secs > hold for 7 secs > out for 8 > repeat.
