Breath Therapy
What is Integral Breath Therapy?
Integral Breath Therapy is a composite modality that uses breathwork as a support for the various processes, exercises and inner explorations. It is a highly personal, experiential process that uses breathing techniques to clear out physical, mental and emotional blocks or stresses. The origin of most human behavioral difficulties is in very early childhood experiences. Early in life we learn to suppress our emotions physically by tensing muscles and restricting the breath. Over time, this protective process becomes chronic and automatic and we lose the capacity to experience and express emotions. This repression can sap our vitality and rob us of the ability to experience the positive feelings of love, joy and pleasure.
Breath Therapy is a foundation component for “The Integration Process”. A revolutionary body focused therapy that explores the multidimensionality of the human being. This modality rapidly brings old and hard to reach issues, patterns or traumas to conscious awareness for release and integration. By using specific tools and techniques, the individual can progress rapidly to a level of greater understanding, health and vitality.
Breath Therapy / The Integration Process is a highly personal, experiential process that uses a variety of techniques used to achieve deep and profound healing. Breathing techniques, Reichian and Bioegnergetic exercises, Self Hypnosis, Inner Child Work, NLP, elements of psychodrama, Gestalt techniques and Behavior Modification are among the techniques used individually or in combination. Integration and unification result as blocks are cleared and personal power is reclaimed by the individual.
Breath is the key to the mystery of life, to that of the body as well as to
that of the spirit.
