Breathwork
Breathwork is an acceleration of the healing process through an exploration and practice of the breath. Bypassing the mind entirely, the breath goes deep into your cells, saturating the body with both oxygen and life force, and helps to release any negative self-thought, perceived limitations, or tension held in the body. Breathwork is an alternative to meditation and can be performed quickly. Because breathing totally can help bypass the mental chatter, it works well for people who have trouble quieting their mind. Breathwork also helps to both release stagnant energy while providing an energetic boost.
