Breathwork is generally safe for most individuals when practiced responsibly and with appropriate guidance. However, it’s important to approach breathwork with caution and be mindful of your physical and mental well-being.

It’s recommended to work with a qualified practitioner, understand your personal health conditions, respect your body’s limits, be mindful of your breathing patterns, and prioritize emotional and psychological well-being. If you have a history of trauma or emotional instability, consult a trained professional for support.

After a breathwork session, allow time to integrate the experience and engage in self-care practices, such as resting, journaling, grounding activities, or seeking support from a therapist or supportive community.

Remember that everyone’s experience with breathwork can be different, so prioritize your well-being and listen to your body’s signals. By practicing responsibly and seeking guidance when needed, breathwork can be a powerful tool for personal growth, self-awareness, and well-being.

Breathwork is NOT advised if you have a known cardiac arrhythmia (including very slow heart rate), a history of heart block, or are taking certain antipsychotic medications.

Do not practice this breathwork during pregnancy, or if you are epileptic. People with cardiovascular issues, or any other serious health conditions, should always consult a medical professional before starting breathwork.

These breathing exercises are a guide only, you should always listen to your own body and not push yourself, if you feel unwell STOP.

Never practice breathing exercises before or during diving, driving, swimming, taking a bath, or in any other circumstance where the loss of consciousness could result in bodily harm.

If you have chronic pain, you could experience your chronic symptoms arise during a session.

If you are experiencing the following health conditions, you should consult your physician before participating in a breathwork session:

• recent severe concussions (still experiencing regular nausea, dizziness, vomiting, vertigo)
• severe depression
• current psychosis
• recent pneumothorax
• severe or acute heart conditions
• severe or acute respiratory conditions

Deep breathing may cause tingling sensations, a ringing in the ears, and/or light-headedness. These are normal responses and are no cause for alarm. If you faint, however, you have gone too far and should take it more slowly next time.

Intention setting is crucial in breathwork practice as it helps focus and direct energy, attention, and desired outcomes.

It clarifies purpose, creates a focal point, amplifies breathwork power, provides a framework for self-reflection, and enhances mindfulness and awareness.

Set positive, specific, and realistic intentions related to healing, emotional release, clarity, self-empowerment, or other aspects that resonate with you. Regularly revisit and reassess intentions to ensure they remain aligned with your growth and well-being.

Intention setting adds depth, purpose, and focus to your breathwork practice, enabling personal transformation and growth.

Integrating a breathwork experience into your daily routine can be a powerful way to maintain the benefits of the practice and enhance your overall well-being.

Here are some suggestions for incorporating breathwork into your daily routine:

• Set aside dedicated time: Allocate a specific time slot in your day for breathwork.
• Start with shorter sessions: If you’re new to breathwork, begin with shorter sessions, typically ranging from 5 to 15 minutes.
• Create a sacred space: Designate a dedicated space in your home where you can practice breathwork.
• Choose a breathwork technique: There are various breathwork techniques you can explore, such as deep belly breathing, alternate nostril breathing, or box breathing.
• Combine breathwork with other activities: Consider integrating breathwork with other daily activities to enhance their benefits.
• Use guided breathwork resources:Utilize guided breathwork resources, such as audio recordings or smartphone apps, to support your practice.
• Set intentions: Before each breathwork session, set a clear intention or focus for your practice. Setting intentions helps you create a sense of purpose and direction for your breathwork experience.
• Be open to self-reflection: After each breathwork session, take a few moments for self-reflection. Notice any shifts in your physical sensations, emotions, or thoughts.
