From Victoria Colligan, Founder, Ladies Who Launch
Breath work is one of the most important wellness techniques we can integrate into our lives and one of the easiest to implement: No resources, no props, no pretzel limbs required. Believe it or not there are many different ways to apply breathing techniques, but even without taking a lesson or reading instructions, breathwork is something we can all engage in on our own. Why is breathwork so important? We all have the tendency to “hold our breath” when going through a challenging or uncomfortable experience. Learning to breathe is the equivalent of learning to let go—it frees up our energy, and serves as a tool for releasing old patterns and breaking up stale thoughts. When we breathe deeply, we can only be rooted in the present. During the act of focusing on the breath, there is nowhere else to go, nothing to get and no thoughts to hold onto. Whether you’re climbing a mountain or sitting at your desk, breathe deeply throughout the day as restorative measure and goal-quenching strategy.
Launchercise:
Do your research and learn various breathing techniques. Find one that works for you. I prefer yogic breathing which is in through the nose and out through the mouth; however there are many different breathing techniques to explore. If you are an expertise, share your expertise with us. Document how you feel, note any physical changes and emotions. Share your results and opinions with the Ladies Who Launch network in a group discussion forum created for this purpose, or connect with us on Facebook or Twitter. Find out what others think too and join the conversation!
