Breathwork sessions (or circular breathing) offer us a means for transcending subconscious programming, but where does the programming come from and why is it important to give it an upgrade?
Throughout our lives, we weave the tapestry of our experiences with moments of both joy and adversity. Sadly, it’s a reality shared by most (if not all of us), that the journey of childhood often leaves us marked by various forms of trauma, both big and small. Consequently, the lens through which we perceive the world becomes tinted with the hues of distrust and the shadows of unprocessed wounds. This intricate web of past events, etched into our consciousness, molds our responses in ways we might not even realize.
In the heat of intense moments, our instinctive reactions often take precedence over thoughtful responses. The imprints of our past traumas can act as triggers, causing us to respond in ways that might not be congruent with our true intentions. These triggers, ignited by people or situations, can send us spiraling into a torrent of emotions that stem from the depths of our unresolved pain. And herein lies the enigma – why do we find ourselves trapped in repetitive patterns of behavior that seemingly contradict our best interests?
How Circular Breathing Breathwork Allows Us Access to Rewrite Subconscious Programming
It’s within this intricate framework that the transformative power of connected breathwork emerges, offering us a key to unlock the shackles of our conditioned responses. The fascinating realm of neuroscience brings us insights into the impact of breathwork on our brain activity. fMRI brain scans show the deliberate practice of breathwork actually orchestrates a symphony of change in our cerebral cortex. This is the realm where our ego has established itself influencing our thoughts, beliefs, habits, and behaviors.
Through the rhythmic dance of circular breathing, a remarkable shift occurs. The frenetic pace of electrical activity within the cerebral cortex begins to wane. This slowing causes the ego to loosen its grip and creates a space for a deeper exploration of our inner landscapes. What emerges is the extraordinary ability to venture beyond the confines of conscious thought, delving into the reservoir of the subconscious mind.
How Breathwork Empowers Us to Upgrade the Subconscious Mind
Within this unique state of heightened awareness, the programming that has been etched into the core of our being, receives an unprecedented upgrade. It’s akin to peering through a window into the uncharted terrains of our psyche, where layers of limitation are gradually peeled away. As the filters of our perception gradually dissolve, the canvas of our worldview undergoes a magnificent transformation. Our self-view, too, experiences a renaissance, shedding the veils of self-doubt and revealing a more authentic self.
In essence, breathwork acts as a bridge between our conscious and subconscious selves. It offers us a passage to traverse the chasm between past traumas and present choices. Through intentional breath, we rewrite the narrative of our responses, unwrapping the gift of conscious choice in moments that once would have been reactions. This voyage of self-discovery, guided by the rhythm of our breath, is an invitation to heal, evolve, and embrace the boundless potential that resides within us all.
