Teaching Breathwork in the MIdEast - What a Session Looks and Feels Like

For information on Therapeutic Breathwork and training opportunities go to: https://transformationsusa.com or inquire at info@transformationsusa.com Jim also shares a link to the playlists of many of his videos on breathwork and integrative psychology:

Jim Morningstar, PhD, Director of the Therapeutic Breathwork Training Program, teaches a virtual breathworker training course to women in the MidEast. He details the use of slower than normal, normal and faster than normal breathing exercises with translation (omitted in this video) by his co-trainer, Omar Chtoui. He then describes the stages of a faster than normal breathwork session which activates the sympathetic nervous system. This opens areas of the right brain in which trauma may be stored, and through trained guidance can be released and restored to healthy functioning. The goal of Therapeutic Breathwork, however, is not to seek out trauma, but to bring us back to breathing fully and the experience aliveness and the vibrancy of a fulfilling life. If anything within us is blocking this, we then have the tools and resources with which to breathe through it.

When you can't control what's happening, challenge yourself to control the way you are responding to what's happening. That's where your power is.
