Conscious Breathing
About Conscious Breathing
Connected diaphragmatic conscious breathing focuses on the energies and states that we want to create rather than focusing on the limiting patterns and else that we want to get ride of. The use of conscious intentions supported by positive affirmations, body mapping and sounds contributes to an effective and complete integration.
This breathing method work at two levels:
Physical: this level relates to respiratory mechanics, it is about learning how to breathe more efficiently and more easily. Due to blocked or restricted breathing patterns, most people breathe below their real capacity. The goal of this deep connected diaphragmatic breathing is to use the entire respiratory system and to maximize breathing capacity. This level allows us to be grounded in our body.
Mental / Emotional: this level helps to clarify the main reasons why we started to limit our breathing. At this level, we work to integrate negative thoughts, limiting beliefs and traumatic situations buried in the unconscious. Limiting and controlling one’s breathing is one of the first ways to repress these elements into the unconscious. Breathing where we no longer breathe and relaxing instead of holding our breath can reverse this process.

A few recommendations
In order to allow you to integrate this conscious diaphragmatic connected breathing process and to feel its benefits, I recommend starting to commit with a set of 3 breathing sessions spread about a week apart.
No two sessions are the same, each breathing session is a unique experience that gives a real feeling of vitality and wonder. At the end of the first session, I will ask you to practice this breathing method by yourself for about 15 minutes per day at your home.
After the first 3 sessions, I will propose you a combination of the following options:
- to continue with several individual sessions that will be spread in period of time agreed together,
- to attend a one day workshop or two days weekend one,
- to attend a residential 6 days seminar.
The residential 6 days seminar is by far the more powerful and transformative formula. It provides profound personal development. This seminar includes various daily breathing sessions, energy exercises, “The Work” judgement resolution process from Byron Katie, dynamic playful group exercises, mindfulness meditations, the practice of sound as a tool to free self-expression, breathing analysis and short coaching sessions. Each participant receives a complete manual allowing the practice to continue on their own.
