Breathwork

What is Breathwork?

Dynamic Reconnection Breathwork (DRB) is a breathwork modality that includes deeper, faster breathing for an extended period of time accompanied by a thoughtfully put together music set that is designed to take you on a deep inner journey. This method can help you shift into an altered state of consciousness, which has the potential to bring about deep healing for the mind, body, and spirit.

What can you expect during a session?

There are different types of experiences one may have during a DRB session. These include various physical sensations, sensory experiences, emotional release, visions, spiritual experiences among others. Each session will be different, and although it is beneficial to be aware of the possible experiences, it’s best to release all expectations for the session. There is wisdom within that will be guiding your experience which often knows better than your thinking mind.

What are the benefits?

Taking part in DRB has the potential to bring deep healing on all levels of the body, mind, and spirit. Not only can it bring incredible mental, emotional, and spiritual breakthroughs, but this modality has also been shown to increase quality of life in various areas including improved sleep, physical healing, higher confidence, more harmonious relationships, as well as gaining a deeper connection to nature, your body, and your higher self.

What is the science behind it?

Deeper, faster breathing results in a loss of CO2 in the blood, therefore the body creates even more, allowing the blood to become more alkaline. Ultimately, this leads to reduced electrical activity in a section of the brain that is related to the "ego mind." When activity here is decreased, the “ego mind” can release its grip in order for other parts of the brain related to emotions and memory to become slightly more activated. This could be related to why many suppressed memories and emotions often rise to the surface during breathwork.

contraindications

DRB may be a great option to explore altered states of consciousness without taking any external substances. At Yoga Circle we suggest this is done as a complementary practice within a solid path of self inquiry.

Although DRB can bring life-changing experiences for many people, it is important to note that there are some contraindications.
