The Psychology of Conscious Connected Breathwork
What if your breath held the key to unlocking the deepest parts of your mind? For centuries, breathwork has been used as a tool for self-discovery, emotional release, and spiritual connection. Today, modern psychology is beginning to uncover why practices like Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB) have such a profound impact on our mental and emotional well-being.
Breathwork in the Workplace
It was one of those workdays. My inbox was overflowing, my to-do list wasn’t getting any shorter, and deadlines were looming. As I sat at my desk, hunched over my keyboard, I noticed something—I wasn’t breathing. Not really. My shoulders were tense, my chest tight, and I realised I’d been holding my breath.
10 Somatic Breathwork Exercises You Can Do Today
Ever feel like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Like stress and tension are just stuck in your body? Somatic breathwork can help. It's like a reset button for your nervous system that you can anytime, anywhere.
The Science of Conscious Connected Breathwork
What if the simple act of breathing could transform your body, mind, and emotions? It might sound too good to be true, but the science of breathwork reveals how this fundamental process holds the key to profound change.
Understanding Somatic Breathwork
We're constantly bombarded with stimuli, our minds racing, our bodies tense and so many people are looking for ways to reconnect with themselves. You may have heard about "somatic breathwork" promising exactly that. Maybe you’ve found yourself having a bit of FOMO and thinking “oh no, I’ve just found Breathwork! Now I have to try Somatic Breathwork?”
At Breathing Space, we believe in stripping away the jargon and getting to the heart of what truly matters. And the truth is, almost all conscious breathwork practices are inherently somatic. It's about connecting with your body, feeling your breath, and noticing the sensations that arise. You don't need fancy labels or exclusive techniques to experience the power of breathwork.
Seasonal Breathwork: Adapting Your Practice Throughout the Year
Breathwork, in its simplicity, is an incredibly profound practice. It's a direct line to our inner world, a way to connect with our bodies and navigate the complex landscape of our emotions. And just as nature ebbs and flows with the seasons, so too should our breathwork practice. By tuning in to the energy of each season, we can deepen our practice, find greater balance, and connect more authentically with ourselves and the world around us.
Reconnecting With Your Inner Child
The warm beige walls of the ketamine clinic seemed to melt away, replaced by an endless field of wildflowers bathed in golden sunlight. There I was, a carefree three-year-old, hand-in-hand with my daughter, Eden, who was also three. We were running, giggling, the embodiment of pure joy. But amidst this idyllic scene, a profound realization struck me: Eden was me.
The Science of Play
Remember that time when you were a kid, completely absorbed in building a fort out of blankets and chairs? Or the joy of getting lost in a game of tag with your friends, the world fading away as you chased each other with pure abandon? When did that sense of carefree playfulness start to fade?
As adults, we often leave play to the realm of childhood, something to be outgrown and replaced with the "serious" business of work and responsibilities. But what if I told you that play isn't just for kids? In fact, it's a fundamental human need, essential for our well-being at any age.
