Who is breathwork for?
Itโs 2023, so letโs start with the TL:DR version โ the short answer is almost everyone.
Whilst breathing operates mostly on autopilot throughout the day, humans across time have discovered that it is possible to consciously change the way they breathe temporarily and noticed that certain patterns would bring both instantaneous and/or long term positive effects on the mind and body. This is because our respiratory system is linked to all systems and functions within, including our nervous system which largely determines the state we are in.
The breath essentially becomes the remote control to self-regulate our mental, physical and emotional states that we can learn to harness. There are many breathing methods practiced across cultures and history for a wide spectrum of purposes. There is most likely something beneficial for everyone, but not everything is for everyone.
