How Transformational Breath Works

On a physical level,  by releasing the tension that constricts our breathing pattern, we open the breath to maximum capacity.  The body receives more oxygen, nourishing all of it’s cells.  This brings more energy into the body and increases the body’s natural ability to detoxify.   (It is estimated that approximately 70% of the body’s detoxification process is through the breath.   Most people use only 25% to 50% of their full respiratory capacity.  When you consider that the amount of oxygen in the air is less than it was hundreds of years ago, all this indicates that we are really getting the short shrift of what was meant for our health and well-being.)

Transformational Breath allows for subconsciously held negative patterns of past trauma or held emotions to resolve. Held emotions create a stagnation of energy, potentially causing dis-ease.  Energy that is stagnated is not available for our present health and well-being.

By using specific breathing techniques, we can create a circuit that allows this previously stagnated energy to flow, integrate,  and be available for our present lives.  Transformational Breath also uses sound, movement, and safe physical touch to free up the tension and move stagnated energy that restricts our breathing capacity.

Thirty spokes together make a wheel for a cart.
It is the empty space in the center of the wheel which enables it to be used.

Mold the clay into a vessel;
it is the emptiness within that creates the usefulness of the vessel.
Cut out doors and windows in a house;
it is the empty space inside that creates the usefulness of the house.

Thus, what we have may be something substantial,
But its usefulness lies in the unoccupied, empty space.

The substance of your body is enlivened
by maintaining the part of you that is unoccupied.
