Stress = Pressure

Long-term pressure leads to dysregulation of your nervous system

What State is Your Nervous System In?

Dysregulation

Persistent feelings of anxiety or depression

Rapid and shallow breathing

Increased tension and pain in the body

Irritable, reactive, or brain fog

Emotional instability or numbness

Regulation

Healthy response to stress

Consistent and smooth breathing

Decreased tension and pain in the body

Increased mental clarity and focus

Emotional stability and awareness

Your breath is the #1 most effective way to regulate your nervous system

The quality of your breath determines the quality of your life.

Somatic breathwork helps you…

Regulate your nervous system
Safely identify and process stagnant stress or trauma
Process undigested emotions
Release physical tension and pain
Connect with your potential and feel it in your body

Your body is designed to process stress & trauma.
You’ve just forgotten how.

Humans are animals. And like animals, your body processes stress and trauma through sound and movement.

In this video, an impala is almost killed. The instinctual response of the impala is to freeze in an attempt to keep itself safe from the attacking cheetah.

Once the impala is safe from danger, it begins deep belly breathing to activate its nervous system’s stress-release response. The impala begins to shake uncontrollably until it has physically cleared the trauma from its body and has returned to a regulated state.

Trauma is not the event that happened. Trauma is what the body stores because of the event that happened.

If you don’t release stress, it gets suppressed and creates dis-ease in the form of…

Anxiety or Depression

Disconnection
From Self

Chronic
Stress

Repeating Negative Thoughts

Physical Tension
& Pain

It is increasingly common for humans to suppress the natural responses of the body - suppressing emotion, avoiding feelings, and numbing ourselves to the stress or trauma. By doing this, it creates a state of dis-ease in the body that can lead to anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and disease.

The dis-ease within your body will not go away until you express and release the stuck experience from your body.

Somatic Breathwork taps into the nervous system in a way that allows you to release the past experiences that your body is holding onto. It is a complete nervous system reset, just as nature intended.
