Fun Fact : you were born knowing how to do ‘breathwork’ 🌬️
Babies instinctively are belly breathers and use their diaphragms correctly.
It’s the stress, anxiety and trauma as we age that causes us to adopt a shallow style of breathing up in the chest.
It’s a safety mechanism put in place by your nervous system to brace for danger.
When you try breathwork for the first time it may feel uncomfortable because you forgot what deep belly breaths feel like.
But your body didn’t forget. ✨
After a little practice, deep breaths begin to feel relieving. It doesn’t take long for it to become your default breath again.
Where’s my chest breathers at? 🤚
I want to know — have you tried breathwork before & how long did it take to get comfortable with belly breaths again?
