What is Breathwork?

Pranayama and Breathwork differences ?

Yogic Pranayama, now sometimes called Breathwork is to purposefully calm the mind through conscious breathing.

Withdrawing the senses towards meditation which is focused focus on one thing.

Breathwork Mastery RBM session is an inner process where the eyes close and open again after approximately 90 minutes. The focus is on awareness of body sensations movement for self generated discharges of constrictions in the system

Breath awareness
is a time spent conscious breathing and requires no certification

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 type releases – yet maybe not resolution.
Beyond our comfort zone

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

Breathwork Mastery RBM is s a path of self generated authentic Mastery – meaning authentic and embodied ease.

The total time frame of a RBM breath session is approx tw with more time needed for set up and follow up.

Breath cycle key points
RBM specific breath techniques of 7 steps

1. Conscious breath
2. Full breath, using the navel and below, the chest and the upper chest and above – from breathing longer than normal and slower
3. Connected breath, no pauses – from being longer than normal and slower
4. Relaxed or subtle breath – longer than normal and slower
5. Inhale and exhale from the nose until or unless it blocks
6. Breath remains linked to body sensation awareness and attention to variations in breath, body and consciousness
7. Awareness on if it is hard or easy to breathe

RBM specific skills and knowledge –
Nine defining points of Rebirthing/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 – RBM is a creative tool.
3. Awareness on process – when an individual is safe enough, supported enough, and ready enough, he or she will discharge unresolved past events – allow time and awareness in the process.
4. Application of well-chosen intention setting within the process – relate all the content of the breath cycle of the session to the intention in an integrative debrief.
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 debrief afterwards to integrate all the wisdom, inspiration or clearing that emerges 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 – gently amplify whatever emerges to create the environment for 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 .
