BREATHE TO SELF-HEAL

Breathing for healing. Breathing for joy. Breathing to transform yourself and your life.
Wow. Sounds fantastic and easy doesn't it? You know this blog is dedicated to sourcing and helping you apply the world's leading edge self-help tools of transformation.

Sooo...breathe now please, deeply (into your belly!) and learn how you can transform your life for joy, health, love and wellbeing with the spirit of your own intention and BREATH.

On Friday night I heard a talk by Transformational BreathTrainer and Faclitator Joost Maijvis a Hollander working in Germany, Turkey and South Africa with ... breathing. A grace-guided, powerful approach to using conscious connected breathwork to transform your life.

After he chose me for a demo at his talk and accurately read my personality just from watching for a minute how I breathe... and then encouraging me to do a few minutes of connected breathing, doing a little "body mapping" by touching me lightly here and there as I breathed in front of the group, I was smitten and booked to do his one-day workshop the next day.

That was yesterday.

What a FANTASTIC experience. Although I have over the years experienced breathwork in Re-birthing, yoga breathing and Holotropic breathwork - I was thrilled to be re-introduced to my breath, my life and my life purpose in a whole new and joyous way.

As we breathe, so shall we live

In 1999 Joost, a deep sea diver and snow-board enthusiast, met Judith Kravitz, the co-creator of Transformational Breathwork (TB) and after tasting the power of her work went on to train and dedicate his life to being a TB facilitator.

He tells how Judith was originally a Re-birther in the style of Leonard Orr. Re-birthing teaches upper chest connected breath, mainly to heal our birth trauma for as we take our first breath, so often do we live for the rest of our lives. When Judith, who is also a doctor of metaphysics, healed a throat tumour by infusing breath with sound and affirmations, she took breathwork to a new level of inspiration and co-creation and has since been the "birth-mother" for thousands worldwide to transform their lives through breathing this way.
