What are breathwork sessions?

Cultivate a deeper sense of calm & tranquility

Through guided breathwork sessions, patients are able to cultivate a heightened sense of self-awareness, enabling them to slow down racing thoughts and liberate themselves from the burdens of stress and tension. However, Breathworks does more than just aid in recovery; it equips individuals with invaluable tools to manage cravings and triggers in their day-to-day lives. With the guidance of our dedicated team of professionals, patients can explore and grow in a safe and supportive environment. Ultimately, Breathworks empowers individuals to tap into the profound healing and calming effects of their own breath, paving the way for lasting recovery and a renewed sense of well-being that extends far beyond their time at our center.

At Reviving You Recovery, we understand the importance of incorporating holistic practices into our structured programming schedule.

Led by experienced facilitators, our breathwork sessions guide individuals in connecting with their breath in a mindful and intentional way.

Through various techniques and exercises, clients are able to release tension, reduce stress, and cultivate a deeper sense of calm and tranquility. Weekly breathwork sessions not only complement other therapeutic modalities, but they also serve as a reminder for our clients that healing can be found in the simplicity of our breath.

Repressed emotions

Breathwork holds an incredible power to unlock the depths of repressed emotions within addiction recovery journeys. By simply engaging with our breath, we tap into a profound tool that connects mind, body, and spirit. Deep, intentional breaths provide a gateway to releasing pent-up emotions that may have haunted individuals throughout their lives, leading them down the path of addiction. Through conscious breathwork practices such as breath awareness, pranayama, and other breath-focused exercises, individuals in recovery gain a new means of confronting and processing suppressed emotions. In the safety of this controlled, mindful breath exploration, repressed experiences slowly unravel, allowing for healing, growth, and liberation. The power of breathwork becomes a guiding force in reclaiming emotional wellbeing, reshaping the recovery journey with self-discovery, and fostering a newfound sense of inner strength and resilience.

Easing depression

Breathwork is a valuable tool that can greatly benefit individuals struggling with depression. By focusing on intentional, deep breathing techniques, individuals can tap into their body's natural relaxation response, triggering a cascade of physiological changes that can help alleviate depressive symptoms. Deep breathing increases oxygen flow, reducing feelings of anxiety and stress. It also stimulates the vagus nerve, which encourages the release of mood-regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Breathwork brings attention to the present moment, helping individuals cultivate mindfulness and gain a sense of grounding. Through consistent practice, breathwork can serve as a powerful adjunct to traditional therapies, providing individuals with a tangible and accessible tool to manage depressive episodes and foster overall emotional well-being.

Reduced grief

Grieving is an intensely emotional and personal process, and finding ways to navigate through it can be challenging. However, one powerful technique that can help individuals on their path to healing is the practice of Breathwork. By focusing on conscious breathing, individuals can create a safe space to explore their grief, release buried emotions, and facilitate healing from within. When engaging in Breathwork for grief, individuals allow themselves to fully experience their feelings without judgment or resistance. This intentional breathwork helps in expanding awareness, reducing anxiety, and promoting emotional release. By connecting to their breath, individuals can find solace, restore inner peace, and gradually integrate their grief into the fabric of their lives. Through the power of breath, people can embrace their grief, honor their experiences, and gradually move towards acceptance and healing.

Boosting immunity

Breathwork, an ancient practice rooted in mindfulness and intentional breathing techniques, has been gaining recognition for its remarkable ability to boost immunity. By harnessing the power of our breath, we can stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms and enhance our overall immune response. Through deep, deliberate breaths, we increase oxygen levels in our bloodstream, promoting cellular regeneration and strengthening our immune system. Furthermore, breathwork helps reduce stress and anxiety, which are known to weaken immune function. By calming the nervous system and activating the parasympathetic response, breathwork enhances our body's resilience against illness and supports a more robust immune defense. Embracing the simple yet profound practice of breathwork offers us a natural and accessible tool to fortify our immunity and promote optimal health.

Holotropic

Holotropic breathwork is a powerful therapeutic method that harnesses the healing potential of deep, rhythmic breathing. Developed by psychiatrist Dr. Stanislav Grof, this transformative practice aims to induce an altered state of consciousness, allowing individuals to access and process unexplored aspects of their psyche. Through the use of accelerated breathing techniques and evocative music, the Holotropic Breathwork method activates the innate wisdom within, facilitating emotional release, self-discovery, and spiritual growth. This dynamic approach encourages participants to delve into their inner landscapes, unlocking buried emotions and memories, ultimately leading to profound healing and integration. Holotropic Breathwork offers a unique pathway for personal transformation, allowing individuals to tap into their own innate healing potential and embark on a journey of self-discovery and renewal.

Rebirthing

Rebirthing breathwork is a powerful technique that explores the profound connection between breath, emotions, and personal transformation. By consciously controlling and deepening the breath, individuals can release suppressed emotions and limiting beliefs that have been stored within the body for years. During a rebirthing session, the practitioner guides the participant to engage in circular, connected breathing patterns, encouraging the release of physical and emotional tension. This technique creates a safe space for individuals to explore their innermost feelings and memories, facilitating healing and growth. Rebirthing breathwork enables individuals to access their innate resilience and vitality, allowing them to experience a sense of renewal, liberation, and rebirth on both mental and emotional levels.

Shamanic

Shamanic breathwork is a powerful healing practice that combines the ancient wisdom of shamanism with the transformative power of the breath. In this practice, individuals engage in a rhythmic, deep breathing technique to access altered states of consciousness and explore the hidden realms within themselves. Through intentional and conscious breathing, shamanic breathwork helps to release blocked energy, old traumas, and negative patterns, allowing for profound healing, self-discovery, and personal growth. It acts as a catalyst for spiritual awakening, offering individuals the opportunity to connect with their inner wisdom, gain insight, and experience deep spiritual transformation. By honoring the breath as a sacred tool, shamanic breathwork offers a unique and profound path to self-healing and transformation.

Vivation

Vivation breathwork is an innovative and powerful modality that has emerged as a promising tool for addiction treatment. This unique therapeutic approach harnesses the transformative power of conscious breathing to support individuals in their journey towards recovery. By combining deep, rhythmic breathing with gentle body movements and authentic self-expression, Vivation breathwork helps individuals unlock suppressed emotions, release traumatic energy, and gain a greater sense of inner peace and fulfillment.

Transformational

In this method, a facilitator observes your breath to see where it’s held, along with where you might have blockages. They may use gentle hands-on techniques, body adjustment, sound techniques, and positive affirmations to open up any blockages. Transformational breathwork has emerged as a powerful tool in the realm of substance abuse recovery, offering individuals a unique avenue for transformation and healing. This holistic practice focuses on consciously connecting with the breath to facilitate deep emotional releases, trauma integration, and self-discovery. Through intentional breathing techniques, the practitioner is able to access their body's natural healing mechanisms, allowing for the release of stagnant energy and the fostering of inner balance. By incorporating breathwork into their recovery journey, individuals can experience profound shifts on both physical and emotional levels, leading to increased self-awareness, improved coping mechanisms, and a greater sense of empowerment. This practice has proven to be a valuable complement to traditional therapies, offering those struggling with substance abuse an alternative approach to healing that fosters sustainable long-term recovery.

Our certified team members will use a specific approach that combines eastern practices focused on breath and body-centered western psychotherapy practices. This method of breathwork therapy focuses on healing at the root level, with breathing that is intentional, conscious, connected, and continuous.

When someone experiences trauma, the body reacts by restriction and constricts. The breath shuts down, impacting your sympathetic nervous system, which controls your fight or flight instincts. You learn to protect yourself by suppressing your emotions, tensing your muscles, and restricting breath when this happens. It’s not uncommon for people to start treatment with constricted bodies that don’t know how to really breathe. Breathwork brings the body to life again.

Before breathwork therapy begins, you may experience neurons firing in the brain that cause your body to remember the trauma. Our certified team member will help guide you through this and remind you that you’re safe. For those in addiction recovery, it can help you to stay grounded by breathing through the experience. With time and practice, you may find that you focus on your breath rather than focusing on the emotional disturbance.

Breathwork regulates the flow of oxygen to the brain. Slow, controlled breathing prompts a parasympathetic response, releasing calm and happy emotions. Rapid breathing stimulates the sympathetic response, which your body associates with stress. Breathwork in addiction recovery teaches various breathing techniques to regulate involuntary and unconscious responses.
