The short answer is that deep breathing regulates your flight or flight response. It bio-hacks your amygdala to put it in the 'back' seat of your mind.
Most people who undertake breathwork experience a profound and positive ‘shift’ in their quality of life. This improvement typically manifests as:
• Feeling more ‘rooted’ in oneself, more centered and realized
• More attuned and attentive to one’s own needs and aspirations
• Better able to access the resources – courage, strength and determination – necessary to realize one’s dreams
Important as these changes are to our quality of life, they have other, far reaching effects on those around us. Improved self-awareness plays into the virtuous cycle of qualities that characterize ‘emotional intelligence’ – better self-management, enhanced interpersonal awareness and greatly improved relationship management.
These changes in outlook and behavior are often accompanied by relief from a whole range of psychosomatic symptoms such as headaches, stomach cramps, as well as back, neck and shoulder problems.
