WHAT BREATHING THERAPY LEADS TO:

It can lead to serenity, well-being, clarity, and connectedness, strengthening both the body and the psyche.

Breathing can be controlled both autonomously and voluntarily, thus providing unique access to the autonomic nervous system and the so-called unconscious mind. Breathing as an interface can have a variety of effects on well-being:

• Deepening the breath directly influences the pulse and blood pressure (helpful, for example, in cases of cardiovascular disease or stage fright).

• The breathing movement (originally the pressure wave of the diaphragm) acts like a gentle massage on the organs and on muscular and bony structures and can have a loosening effect from within (for example, the heart, which lies directly on the diaphragm, gets more room to move).

• The individual breathing rhythm reflects one's own measure and indicates the appropriate pace.

• The rising and falling of the body walls during breathing allows us to experience inner space and has a balancing effect on muscle tone.

• Breathing patterns that have developed and become established during periods of stress or illness, for example, can gradually change.

• Deep breathing promotes changes in posture patterns and muscular tension

• Access to the unconscious and intuition is strengthened. Ideas and solutions to current challenges may arise spontaneously, but repressed stresses may also surface, seeking resolution.

• Experiencing resilience, serenity, inner space, and flowing breath can have a positive effect on the speaking and singing voice and on self-confidence.

• Deep breathing shifts the acid-base balance more towards alkaline.

• The breathing experience gives pregnant women confidence in the birth process and in themselves. Breathing becomes a partner in pain management and in the expulsion phase.
