Breathwork is an integral component of energetic bodywork & kundalini activation. It’s a powerful tool to access deeper layers of your being, regulate your energy, and support the emotional release and transformational process during these sessions.
The recommended techniques are diaphragmatic breathing and conscious connected breathing, so deep from the belly, in and out through the mouth. These methods encourage receptivity, amplify energy movement, and support the process.
The more deeply you breathe, the more deeply you feel.
Why breathwork matters in energetic bodywork
Your breath is the bridge between your physical body and your subtle energy field. When you consciously focus on your breath, you:
- Regulate your nervous system: Intentional breathing stimulates the vagus nerve, calms the fight-or-flight response, signaling safety to your body and mind. This promotes relaxation, creating a fertile ground for energy to flow freely.
- Release blockages: Breathwork helps clear stagnant energy and emotional blockages, allowing kundalini energy to rise more smoothly.
- Enhance presence: Staying mindful of your breath keeps you grounded and fully present, amplifying the effects of bodywork or kundalini activation.
In energetic bodywork & kundalini activation, specific breathing techniques are utilized to deepen your experience. Here are the most common types of breathwork used in sessions:
Diaphragmatic breathing (belly breathing)
This foundational technique involves breathing deeply into your diaphragm, allowing your belly to expand as you inhale. It promotes relaxation and helps you connect to your body.
How to Practice?
- Place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly.
- Inhale deeply through your nose, feeling your belly rise.
- Exhale through your mouth, letting your belly fall.
Conscious connected breathing
A continuous breathing pattern that connects the inhale and exhale without pauses. This method helps release stored emotions and energy.
How to Practice?
- Breathe gently in and out through your mouth in a steady, circular rhythm.
- Keep your breaths deep and full, avoiding breaks between inhale and exhale
- The exhale can be slightly longer but should remain effortless.
- Maintain a soft, relaxed jaw and avoid forcing or straining the breath.
- Keep a natural rhythm; there’s no need to rush or hyperventilate.
A few more practical tips
- Hydrate well before the session to avoid dryness.
- Practice connected breathing for a few minutes daily to build familiarity.
- Stay relaxed. If you feel tension in your jaw, consciously relax it and continue breathing.
- Adjust as needed: when it feels too intense, slow the pace but stay with the breath and remain connected.
- After the session drink water and eat something grounding, like fruit, dark chocolate or nuts.
Breath intensifies your awareness of subtle energy shifts, making the experience more profound. By following this guide, you can fully embrace the transformative potential of breathwork during your energetic bodywork & kundalini activation sessions.
