Breathwork can be used to improve physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. It can help to increase motivation, clarity, and creativity. It can also help to reduce fatigue, improve sleep quality, and increase overall productivity.
Why Breathwork is the New Performance Tool
Breathwork is the new performance and productivity tool effective to improve physical and mental performance. It reduces stress, improves focus, and increases energy levels. On the other spectrum, it can also be used to reduce fatigue and improve sleep quality.
Breathwork is also a great tool for improving creativity and motivation by increasing clarity and focus, and it can be used to reduce anxiety and boost mood.
Most importantly, breathwork can recalibrate your nervous system (your main control, regulatory and communication centre of your mind and body). Taking you out of a low mood, and shifting you from flight-freeze-or-fight system to rest and digest. It can go into subconcious patterns and lost memories, and reduce limiting beliefs and quieting a busy chatter mind.
Most of our bodies and minds are so hyper aroused by all the stimulus around us. If you tried #mediation you might have ended up frustrating and more stressed from an overload of thoughts. You are not alone. Time to try breathwork!
As an active and powerful practice, you use a variety of different breathing patterns, holds, exercises and session durations that help to quiet the mind and instead come into your body. You can also layer in visualization to manifest goals and desires.

Notice your rate and rhythm of your breath, and see if you can slow it down and keep it even. Also working on slower breathing will increases blood flow to the brain and syncs the heart, nervous system and circulation into rhythm. Doing a slow breathing rate pattern is often called resonance breathing!
Resonance breathing also increases our openness and receptivity. So next time you're pitching business to a new client, perhaps start by leading yourself into a resonance breath through the following:
