Unlocking the Power of Breathwork: 3 Tips for Practicing Anywhere

Are you overwhelmed? Scroll down and get 3 simple and inconspicuous breathwork practices that you can incorporate anywhere- whether that's a grocery store or leading a presentation!

What I am about to say comes from frustration at watching the wellness industry be led astray by capitalism. As mindfulness and somatic workouts have become more popular, there has become a surge in gimmicks and products which do little more than drain your wallet. Enter: me, kicking down the door. You want the honest truth? There is not one single product, skill, or practice that will change your life. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just trying to make a sale. What's more, there is no replacement for what we have been naturally provided with. You don't need a grounding mat, you need the ground, and you don't need yet another trending supplement, you need to get outside in natural light and move everyday. Healing is free. Know what else you always have free access to? Your lungs. 🤍 My mission is to provide women with practical mindfulness and breathing techniques they can use in our sessions, or anywhere to manage emotions and take back control of their lives. Breathwork when in combination with mindful life choices truly does have the power to transform. We were all built with the inherent ability to regulate our emotions. This is why it's important to learn how! Here, I'm sharing 3 pranayama yoga (breathwork) techniques that you can practice anywhere.

1. Deep Belly Breathing. This one is not only highly effective, but also inconspicuous enough to do in the middle of a crowded space. To practice simply inhale deeply through the nose, paying attention to the air as it travels down through your chest and fills up your belly. When your belly is full, breathe out slowly through your nose. Close your eyes if possible and pay attention to the feeling of the cool air coming in and warm air leaving. Aim for 5 repetitions and you will have a noticeable shift in your emotional state. Helps with: anxiety, circulation, lowers blood pressure, and reduces cortisol.
   

2. Bee Humming Breath (aka brahmari). The pranayama technique with the sweetest name is also one which produces a quick way to generate healing frequencies to your brain. How does this work? Close your eyes and inhale through your nose. Then, for the entirety of your exhale make a medium to low pitched hum (like a humming bee). Repeat this 6 times. If you'd like to try a silent version after your 6 repetitions, you can with the same position, but do not let sound out. Helps with: stress, insomnia, thyroid issues (with variations), and sinus infection (with high pitch hum).
   

   
   

3. Box Breathing. This technique is practiced by Navy Seals for a reason! The magic in box breathing is to help fight off panic in extremely stressful situations, by forcing your lungs to work rhythmically with your brain. The most straightforward way to practice box breathing is by doing this in counts of 4. First, exhale for 4 seconds, then hold for 4, inhale for 4, and hold for 4. Repeat 5 times to feel the effects. Imagine a square with a slow moving arrow tracing its shape with each step. Alternatively, you can trace your finger along the square of your palm for a tactile experience. Note: if you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, or are pregnant, do not do the holds. Instead, make a "box" by exhaling for 4 and inhaling for 4. Helps with: panic, insomnia, and improves focus. That's it friends! Try these anywhere to feel instant results. Remember, you have every power to help yourself...and I'm here for you, too! 🤍
