The Benefits of Meditative Breath-Work Practices

The emotional intelligence and sense of well being gained through meditative practices creates a greater capacity for awareness of and compassion for oneself and others. It also increases clarity of thought, focus, patience, creativity, effective problem solving, clear communication and perspective.

If we remain unaware of how the faculties of the mind operate and the interconnectedness of both our minds and bodies we can quite easily run in circles for years, if not decades, unable to create the life changes we strive for. On the other hand, if we understand and implement the simple practices provided we immensely optimize our ability to create lasting positive change in all aspects of our life. Often, the transformation that occurs over a very short period of time will exceed even the wildest expectations.

These techniques, along with giving ourselves the opportunity to be vulnerable and let go of expectations offer results that far surpass what we formerly knew as scientifically possible for both physical and mental health.

This very powerful work has the ability not only to heal the physical body of ailments but the to heal conscious and unconscious emotional scars, long held story lines and the self limiting beliefs that are derived from them. Through this process we quite literally gain access to our mind and our body’s natural intelligence. This “natural intelligence” has too often been pushed far into the foreground of our awareness. It can be almost completely overridden by persistent compulsive thoughts, self talk and the desire to produce results. I like to say that we are slipping back into the collective consciousness and re-connecting with universal intelligence

Ironically, the very thing that makes humans unique intelligent beings, also has the ability to separate them from their true boundless potential, spirit and interconnectedness. By getting out of our own way we are able to see things much more clearly and actually heal deep-seated traumas, beliefs and thought patterns. The result is a highly therapeutic realignment and reset, as well as, many numerous health benefits for mind, body, heart and spirit.

When you meet Derek you will quickly find that he is sincere, passionate and skilled in regards to sharing the work that is so dear to him. "Breath is the sacred bridge between spirit and matter and our breathing patterns are direct physical representations of our mental or emotional states. Conscious Breathwork is highly beneficial in regards to both physiological and psychological health.

This work has the ability to assist us enhancing our physical health as well as finding balance/clarity and resetting/letting go of long held beliefs and thought patterns. Scientifically there is a lot happening however I feel the best way to explain it is to say that it takes us out of the box that over time, rather unknowingly we have put ourselves in. Through the vehicle of breath it affords one the opportunity to re-connect with the mind and bodies natural intelligence or (universal intelligence).”
