Can we just jump right in and maybe you can give like a basic intro for people who don't know,

like what is breathwork? Yeah, so breathwork is just the conscious manipulation of the breath.

And whenever we're breathing in a certain way, whether we're breathing for deeper relaxation

or easing stress and anxiety, or if we're breathing in order to create more activation,

create more connection to our bodies and even our friends and family, our community,

or if we're breathing to release stuck energy from the body,

heal trauma, the breath can do it all.

And so it's all about understanding how to breathe and when to breathe in that way in order

to create these really beautiful results that we can create with breath work.

So the simple simplified definition is consciously manipulating the breath in order to create a certain state change or a certain result with your health and well-being.

Yeah.

And I have I have trouble explaining it to people because I've done it before and I really like it.

And when I do it, I feel very, it's hard to describe like I feel lighter. Like I feel actually a little bit less stress and I feel just more present. Like I'm more in the now and I'm less in the worrying about the future or the past. But I have a lot of trouble describing it to people when they ask me.

Because when I do it, I go to like a facilitated breathwork session.

It's, you know, to put it in like layman's terms, it's like laying on the floor and hyperventilating.

So how does this result in a benefit?

Yeah.

So the type of breathwork that you're describing is very likely like a transformational style.

And there's many different forms of this type of breath work. We call it the freedom technique, right?

And there's many different types of the style of breathwork. It originated with Stanislav Groff with holotropic breathwork out of Esselin in California when they were really working to create or have an experience, share an experience that was similar to an LSD journey, but doing it strictly with the breath.

And since then, many different forms of this breathwork have emerged, including shamanic

breathwork, transformational breathwork, and the style that I've created called sonic neural
