Everybody instantly assumes they understand breathing, it’s what keeps us alive, everybody also assumes that the moment you mention breathwork, you’re attempting to proselytize a cult or the ‘practice’ of which you speak; is buried in yogic traditions, both couldn’t be anymore incorrect. With good breathwork practice we can control states and mood: we are able to tap into the Parasympathetic Nervous System, which betters our ability to rest and digest or harvest the worth associated with charging the Sympathetic Nervous System; thus, channelling arousal and the fight or flight response. Breathwork teaches you to become the pilot rather than the passenger in all situations.
