WHAT IS BREATHING AWAKENING

( During a life-long journey of exploring the powerful tools of breath, Breathing Awakening was created. Approaching the ‘Art of Breathing’ through both the physical and spiritual aspect, Breathing Awakening aims to provide the tools that help to discover and unfold the beauty and the power from within and reach a higher level of consciousness (or ‘to unfold and reach our highest possible potential’), (or ‘to unfold and reach the potential of what we truly are’ or ‘to unfold the potential of what we truly are and reach higher levels of consciousness’) )

(It) Breathing Awakening is a synthesis of breathing techniques, which combines the sacred wisdom of ancient practices (Shamanism and Pranayama) with newer methods and the science of today. It aims to help us discover and unfold the potential of what we truly are by using techniques which help us enter more deeply into the core of our being.

our method combines breathing techniques with music and meditation. Through the use of these techniques we stimulate the full capacity of our lungs and awaken parts in our body which are inactive or hypo-active. By awakening our body parts we awaken our brain and our vital energy reflects to a healthy and ecstatic living

It aims to help us discover the power of the breath as the key tool to unfold the potential of what we truly are. Through a sequence of breathing techniques, we learn to use the full capacity of our lungs, prolong our breath and increase our breath hold in order to awaken the intelligence in our body, raise our vibrational energy, and direct this healing power throughout the body to parts that are diseased, dormant or inactive. This process of awakening and free flow of energy allows for core physical and emotional healing (even from past traumas), increased vitality and wellbeing, and can ultimately lead to states of pure ecstasy!

about brainwave music

Βrainwave music is an audio technology embedded in the music in order to bring about desirable changes in brainwave activity thereby encouraging various states of relaxation, deep meditation or sleep. The technique that is used in order to succeed in this is to use “binaural beats” which are slightly different frequencies separately into each ear. The difference between the two frequencies stimulates a response in the brain which correlates with this frequency difference. For example, if we present a 140 Hz tone to the left ear and a 145 Hz tone to the right ear, a frequency of 5 Hz is stimulated (theta waves are stimulated in our brain). This is what is known as the “frequency following response”. Over time, “binaural beats” has evolved to trypnaural brainwave meditation music, which creates the full tryptamic effect of state change, stress reduction, serotonin, melatonin and DMT production.

One of the techniques we use is called Intermittent Hypoxia (IH), it is contra-indicated (click below on ‘More about Breathing’ to see the details)

However, there are some cases that Intermittent Hypoxia is contra-indicated:

acute somatic and viral diseases
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-II and COPD-III)
chronic diseases with symptoms of decompensation or terminal illness
individual intolerance of oxygen insufficiency
cancer, unless IH is prescribed by a doctor
people with epilepsy, pacemakers or heart arrhythmias, unless treatment (including IH) is under direct medical supervision.

Activity-dependent plasticity

A combination of breathing elements with brainwave music is used to help the brain adjust its frequency waves so that the body and mind are aligned in a balanced state of deep meditation. The goal is to reach to a point where the level of our energy vibration increases and the body functions of deep core healing are initiated. We access our subconscious mind where we can create the change we want for ourselves and our lives and we gradually awaken our full human potential.

THE POWER OF BREATH

Specialized breathing techniques, which find their roots in ancient times, are ideally combined with the scientific knowledge and tools of today and help you to tune into the subconscious mind. Along with brainwave music (which adjusts the frequency waves* of the brain) and guided meditation, these powerful sessions act as the key to enter a deep meditative state, and heal even past traumas which are deeply rooted into the subconscious. The body, mind, soul and spirit are aligned, the vibrational level of your energy is increased and euphoric feelings come up from the center of your being.

How We Breathe

Imagine you have a fire burning inside that produces all the energy you need to live. Just like a real fire, if you have too much oxygen, the fire will burn too much potentially causing damage. This is known as oxidative stress on the body. However too little oxygen will mean the fire cannot burn at all. So we need the right balance of oxygen, not too much and not too little.

When you inhale you breathe in oxygen. This combines with glucose in the mitochondria of your cells to produce carbon dioxide, water and ATP energy. When you exhale you breathe out the carbon dioxide and water.

O2 + Glucose = CO2 + H2O + ATP* (energy)

Inhalation stimulates your sympathetic nervous system (fight/flight), and when you exhale you stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest/digest). By changing the way you breathe you can switch on or off the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system depending on what result you want. Breathing in more oxygen than normal by rapid breathing will be energizing on the body. It will also cause contraction in the body as you breathe out carbon dioxide. Slowing down the rate of breathing and extending your exhalation will have a relaxing effect on the body as you raise carbon dioxide and also stimulate nitric oxide that dilates blood vessels.

* Adenosine triphosphate (ATP): ATP molecules act as short-term "biological batteries" that retain energy until it is required in various biological processes, which is why they are considered by biologists as the energy currency of life.

Side-effects of Unconscious Breathing

Shallow breathing

For the many who are caught up in our modern sedentary lifestyle of sitting at a desk behind a computer at work, or later at home behind a screen again, shallow breathing can become the norm. Breathing is mostly involuntary and with lack of physical activity there is no need for the body to require more air. However with shallow breathing you are using a lot less of your total lung capacity of oxygen, yet your body requires more than that to maintain a healthy system. Shallow breathing also requires less emphasis on the lower abdomen and eventually breathing becomes limited to the chest area.

Chest breathing and stress

When breathing from your chest your body relies on secondary muscles around your neck and collarbone instead of using your diaphragm. Combine this with poor posture and you start to affect many muscles in your upper body inhibiting their ability to function properly.

Poor posture along with stress can cause a shortness of breath which can lead to anxiety, this then can tighten the muscles that assist in your breathing restricting your breath which leads to more anxiety.

Asthmatics as an example struggle to breathe air out due to inflammation of their bronchial tubes so end up with excess air in their lungs. This restricts their breathing to the chest area as they struggle to breathe in or out, so their anxiety builds, increasing the inflammation, and eventually they have an asthma attack.

Studies show that with shallow erratic chest breathing with pauses on the in-breath, the expired air contains a higher concentration of oxygen than normal as the body is unable to convert it all into the blood stream producing a condition called Anoxemia. This in turn effects one of the roles of CO2 which is to force oxygen from the blood stream to enter our muscles and organs, especially the brain, where it is also needed.

The long term effects of shallow breathing include:

Increased stress and anxiety which can lead to panic attacks.
Compromising of one's concentration, memory and efficiency.
Influencing metabolism which can lead to weight gain
Decreased energy levels causing fatigue
Cardiovascular issues
Muscle tension
Increased heart rate and blood pressure

How Conscious Breathing Helps

Life is connected with breath so you cannot live without breathing. It is connected with the heart beat and by changing the rhythm of breath you change our heart’s rhythm and consequently your state of being! It is not just an unconscious mechanism in your body. We all have the access to consciously change its rhythm at will! It is the only physiological function that is involuntary or voluntary.

You can breathe consciously or you can just let your body breathe on its own. However, by letting go of conscious control your breathing falls under the control of your most primitive part of your brain that deals with survival. This is the realm of your unconscious mind where emotions, thoughts and feelings, of which we may have little or no awareness become involved and can disrupt the rhythm of your breath. This means your breath can become discoherent and irregular when you lose conscious control over it.

However, by breathing consciously you can be released from stress, anxiety, frustration and even wounds from the past. You can get into meditative or hypnotic state, or even to ecstasy. You can activate your own pharmacy for self healing, fill yourself with energy when you wake up, or just get warm when you feel cold.

The 3 factors for Heart Coherence

Rhythm - Your ratio of inhale to exhale should be consistent. For example 4 seconds in followed by 4 seconds out, or 4 seconds in followed by 8 seconds out continuously is consistent. However if you breathe 2 seconds in followed by 4 seconds out, then 3 seconds in and 8 seconds out, and so on, it is neither smooth nor consistent.
Smoothness - Your breath should be a smooth flow in and out. It is more helpful to breathe without breaks in between your inhalations and exhalations. An easy way to ensure this is to breathe in through your nostrils and breathe out through your nose or your mouth, however when you breathe out through your mouth, purse your lips a little so that your exhale is slow and smooth. Imagine making the sound of an ocean wave and bring your awareness to the sound your breath makes.
Intention - Coherence of your heart rhythms is influenced by your emotions. It is much harder to get into flow states and coherence if you are feeling down or your mind is clouded by negative thoughts. A simple way to solve this is to bring your awareness to something you are truly grateful for e.g a loved one, something you love to do, the delicious meal you just ate. The sense of gratitude has been proven in various studies to change your emotional state from low to higher very fast, so your breath becomes smoother and your heart beat more balanced.

For CONSCIOUS BREATHING: From ancient times, Shamans, Healers, Yogis, Mysts kept exploring the Power of Breath. They mainly used it for healing purposes and to connect with the Divine. Today, science provides us with additional knowledge and tools which support and expand all this knowledge from the past throughout the years. Various breathing methods and approaches have emerged throughout the years but they all come from the same source. And the major common principle is to breathe consciously

SHAMANISM: As humans we have (personal or collective/global) questions about life issues and we want to find out what is behind all this that we live in.
