Dr. Sheldon Hendler says in his book ''The Oxygen Breakthrough'' that breathing should be the FIRST place we look when symptoms present themselves, not the last place. Breathwork is a simple yet powerful technique to balance the cellular body as well as one’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. It gives access to, releases and integrates memories, emotions and patterns stored in the body, mind, and soul that hinder you from living your full potential. The basis of the process is the breathing – conscious breathing in a connected manner with no break between the inhale and the exhale – exactly opposite to the type of breathing we use to suppress feelings, experiences and thoughts, and also to hold suppressions in our subconscious. Although the breathing is a purely physical exercise, it has been found that the process does not just affect the body but also has a direct effect on the psyche. This relaxed, connected way of breathing, similar to the way most people breathe during deep sleep, facilitates the release of chemicals into the bloodstream which trigger a natural process of cleansing and purifying on all possible levels.
