Breathwork Mastery RBM & Pranayama Differences

Breathwork Mastery RBM session is an inner process in a lying position where the client’s eyes close for the conscious breathing cycle, and open again after approximately 90 minutes. The focus is on setting an intention and then breathing consciously, longer and slower than normal. Awareness is on body sensations and any changes. This leads to a self generated discharge of constrictions in the system

Breath awareness
is a time spent conscious breathing and can be facilitated by anyone.

Two styles of Breathwork – both are conscious breathing.

Sympathetic activation through stronger and faster than normal conscious breathing winds up the system and brings cramping, spasms and emotional releases usually with a lot of sound.
The approch can be said to go beyond your comfort zone

Parasympathetic activation applied in Breathwork Mastery RBM, is longer than normal breathing which unwinds constrictions with the body sensations changes.
The approach can be said to go into your comfort zone

Breathwork Mastery RBM is a path
of self generated mastery, meaning authenticity and ease in all aspects of living

Breathwork Mastery RBM specific skills and knowledge –
Nine defining points of Breathwork Mastery RBM as a strand of Breathwork.
1. Emphasis on body sensation awareness as well as conscious breath all through the breath session – it is a body/breath process.
2. Emphasis on self-mastery – individuals are self-generating their personal development process and are self-regulating organisms – Breathwork Mastery RBM is a creative tool.
3. Awareness on process – when an individual is safe enough, supported enough, and ready enough, or in pain enough, he or she will resolved past events – allow time and awareness in the Breathwork Mastery RBM process.
4. Application of well-chosen intention within the process – relate all the content of the breath cycle of  to the intention that is apparent in an integration at the end.
5. Use of breath that allows a physical, mental, feeling or spiritual, transformational experience – start with conscious, longer than normal breathing, so it is connected and full, in and out the nose until or unless the nose closes. Stay with the feeling it is hard to breathe or easy.
6. Allow the breath session to unfold with minimum intervention – use the time afterwards to integrate all the wisdom, inspiration and realisations that emerge during the breath cycle
7. Be present to, name and identify exactly what is happening on each level of the breath session, without adding any interpretation – amplify whatever emerges to discharge of constrictions on all levels.
8. Awareness of safety – a breather can only regress to something that he or she has already lived through – any past event which is surfacing from conscious breath is because of intention – the inner experience is invited to surface and any intense symptoms are immediately affected by a change in intention.
9. Agenda free focus for facilitation with an emphasis on expanding self-awareness, and self mastery for the participant and the facilitator .
