Transformational Breathing Method

What is Breathwork?

Breathwork is a powerful tool to access the inner intelligence of our mind and body for transformation. The method helps people to access intuition and to get clear on one's purpose with confidence, physical and emotional transformation.

The Transformational Breathing Method uses conscious circular breathing with two powerful breath styles to set the nervous system up for transformation. We also use transformational words, and rhythmic music to help with emotional releases. The body is highly intelligent and along with safety and trust, we can release and return to balance.

By the time you are 50, it is estimated you have taken around 400 million breaths, That's about 20,000 per day. Breathwork describes a range of exercises that teach you to shift your breathing rate and depth to bring awareness to your breath and help you gain some benefits similar to meditation and beyond. 07 We can only live a short amount of time without a single breath and our life starts right at that magical moment we take our first breath. So Breathwork is far greater than just the body, it takes us into an infinite realm. Breathwork is an entry point to correcting your perception, one's intellect and refining the nervous system. This is so the breath can start to have more energy and allow kundalini to rise and move through the body allowing free flow prana which allows more infinite potential. When our state changes, our breathing patterns change too and vice versa. By consciously changing our breathing patterns, we can change our state instantly. Our breathing system is the only system in the body that is both voluntary and involuntary and both conscious and unconscious. That is not an accident, it's an opportunity to take part in our evolution and determine our own nature. We can look at breathing as an untapped resource. Most people have no idea of the power and potential it holds. Conscious breathing is the transformational tool of our modern times. We are on the verge of an evolutionary leap in consciousness and the Breath is the key to this new human potential. When we start adding energy/charge from breath, this changes the chemistry of the body. It changes in a way where all the "stuff" that is unconscious like all the physical and emotional blocks that have been held in the body come to the surface to be released. a Our breath is the single most important source of energy that we take in on moment-to-moment basis. This energy can be used to fuel the body's healing mechanisms.

What is Transformational Breathing and how does it work?

Transformational Breathing is a conscious, holistic breathwork method using deep, connected, diaphragmatic breaths (belly, chest, throat) with no pauses, often through the mouth, to activate the full respiratory system for self-healing, emotional release, and accessing deeper consciousness, helping with stress, trauma, and energy.

It involves specific patterns like two inhales and one exhale, often with breath holds, guided by intention to promote physical vitality, mental clarity, and spiritual integration.

Key Techniques & Principles

  • Connected Breathing: A continuous, flowing breath, linking inhales and exhales without pauses, often described as rhythmic and full.

  • Diaphragmatic Focus: Engaging the belly, chest, and lungs fully, using the diaphragm as the primary driver.

  • Mouth Breathing: Often done through the mouth, sometimes with a relaxed exhale (a sigh or "ah") or a specific sound.

  • Breath Holds: Holding the breath after inhales or exhales to deepen meditative states and relax into stillness.

  • Intention: Setting a clear intention for the practice to guide the experience.

How It Works

  1. Activation: Deep, conscious breathing oxygenates the body and activates the nervous system.

  2. Release: The energetic shifts help release physical tension and emotional blocks stored in the body.

  3. Integration: Allows access to deeper self-awareness, facilitating emotional processing and healing. 

Benefits

  1. Stress & Trauma Relief (PTSD, Burnout)

  2. Increased Energy & Vitality

  3. Emotional Release & Clarity

  4. Physical Well-being (Circulation, Toxin Removal)

  5. Self-Awareness & Inner Peace 

One on One Transformational Breathwork Session

A one on one breathwork session gives you space to clear stress, release emotional tension and reconnect with yourself. It is guided, safe and personalised to what you need on the day.

You will learn a conscious connected breathing method that opens the diaphragm and unlocks stored patterns in the body. This creates a natural shift in your nervous system and helps you move from pressure into clarity.

During the session you lie down and follow a steady rhythm of breath. I guide you with simple cues, targeted touch points, sound and presence. Your body leads the way. The breath does the work. You stay in full control at all times.

People book these sessions when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected or held back by old emotional weight. Others use it to find direction, expand their awareness or support integration after inner work or medicine journeys.

You may feel tingling, warmth, emotion, insight or a strong sense of relief. Each session lands differently. What stays consistent is the impact. You leave grounded, lighter and more present in your life.

Felt Sense "If You Want To Heal It, You've Got To Feel It"

The felt sense is our ability to feel, notice and name the sensations that we're feeling in our body. Remember we are influenced by instincts first, then feelings, the psyche and finally stories. So when we go to the initial piece of feeling, we can heal.

Feeling is like ice collapsing off the glacier, it thaws fast. When we try to mentally work out the healing in our breathwork journey, we can enter into a story, a narrative around why we're feeling a certain way and it doesn't allow the feeling, the emotion to be felt, to move through the body and then we can end up recycling energy. Peter Levine's work, focuses on helping people move from the epicentre of the emotion through to feeling. He uses the power of titration which is small releases at a time, as we don't want to over stimulate the nervous system and go outside our Window of Tolerance" (see Window of Tolerance section).

Peter somatically tracts sensations in people's bodies and uses gentle release methods. It is important in the Transformational Breathing Method to get really sensitive to feeling. Being sensitive is a superpower and it means things make sense. This is so we become more intuitive and co-regulate better as a practitioner or heal faster as a student. Core beliefs such as "I am not worthy of success" or "whatever I do won't work" can literally be parasitic tensions in the body. When we try to mentally work out the healing in our Breathwork journey, we can enter into a story, a narrative around why we're feeling a certain way. This doesn't allow the feeling, the emotion to be felt, to move through the body and then we can end up recycling energy.

We can restore aliveness through Breathwork and somatic sensing and create a new meaning. We identify inner body sensations with felt sense. Within the arousal cycle, we may experience inner sensations, images, behaviour, feelings or meanings. We could feel tension, tingling, waves, vibrations, and trembling. The new feeling contradicts the old feeling and new experiences can create new meanings of safety for example "I am able to love and be loved".

What Is Trauma?
With The TBM We Work With Trauma, Not On Trauma!

On a somatic level, it's how our body has responded or reacted to the experience and how that is showing up in the body. Trauma is a subjective experience. Trauma is the result of physical, emotional and biological overload. It's a result of something that was happening too fast, too soon, too much, or was the result of not getting enough of something for too long (e.g love, comfort, safety).

Due to trauma we can go into the autonomic sympathetic state of fight, flight, freeze or fawn as these states keep us safe and protected from what the experience is. When we move past these states called completing the arousal process.

Understanding Trauma

Trauma affects our emotions, feelings, physiology and our brain. One of the biggest keys we can pick up in Breathwork and life is to know that all the trauma responses we see in people are biologically correct and predictable behaviours based on the person's individual personal experience and their history. Also, it's important to know that trauma isn't always a catastrophic or chaotic event. So Trauma is not the event itself, trauma is the response to any event that overwhelmed an individual's ability to cope and make sense of a function optimally.

21 Through Breathwork and somatic release, we create space for our nervous system to unwind and allow the body to complete its interrupted activation cycles. We truly are remarkable beings! We are so ancient, it's taken us thousands of years of intelligence and we are still continually evolving; we are the sum total of our ancestral patterns. We all have these instinctual defences. These defences keep us safe but to be safe and cope, they end up blocking us. Once the stress or threat is gone, if our nervous system doesn't return to balance we can stay stuck.

So the premise behind the Transformational Breathing Method and its somatic healing is to express, clear and create new patterns and ways of showing up. We live in a world where we don't express very much. Many people can feel numb, and being numb uses a lot of energy. Yet we are born so sensitive, full of sense, where life makes sense. As kids we know, children throw tantrums and release energy as they know this will save them in the future.

We create containers for people to express themselves so people don't have to take this energy out into the world. We heal trauma by reconnecting the mind back to the intelligence of the body. We help people feel alive and take off their armour.

The Nervous System

The nervous system's main function is communication. As soon as we walk into a room, we are scanning for safety, or to know if we are still loved. If we feel safe and regulated, we communicate electrically in flow. We have nerve plexus/bundles also known as chakras and they control the glands. We are either open or closed.

Our nervous system is incredible, imagine if we had to constantly think about breathing or beating our heart. Your nervous system governs everything in the body from the immune system all the way to the blood vessels. If we change the nervous system the rest of the body is going to be responsive. The great thing about Breathwork is we don't need to target one system of the body, we can heal the nervous system altogether. Polyvagal theory based of Stephen Porges. Great way to map how the ANS interacts with our experience.

Three Primary Circuits of the Nervous System

1. Ventral Vagal Circuit - Safe and Social

2. Sympathetic Nervous System - Fight or Flight

3. Dorsal Vagal Circuit - Shut Down/Freeze

Sympathetic Nervous System Fight Or Flight Reaction:
The Neurological Response

Let's look at how stress affects the body and how your Breathwork training can dramatically help people to shift back into a parasympathetic response which helps one to activate their true power and flow.

Let's go: The autonomic nervous system (ANS) turns on a response to something real or imagined in the environment. Once this lightning bolt of info reaches the adrenal glands, they push a surge of adrenaline that goes directly into the bloodstream to mobilise resources for action. 이 이

THE EFFECT IS: Increased heart rate and blood pressure Reduced flow to the digestive organs (thus dry mouth and feeling of butterflies which is blood being shunned away from the intestines) Increased blood flow to the extremities ready for action Glucose is mobilised in the bloodstream for energy The brain becomes super aware/hyper alert Pupils are dilated and lenses are cleared to facilitate seeing greater distances Airways dilate allowing greater oxygen transfer in the lungs 26 This is all good for short term, but our body can't sustain a state like this long term. With everyday experiences, multitasking and technology triggers we can turn on the stress response without a stressor being present.

As a result, we get into a loop of chronic stress. The body is not designed for this and long-term stress heads us towards burnout and disease. The body has a continuing amount of stress hormones (adrenaline and cortisol) circulating and these levels can begin to rise. This is the effect on the body in a constant fight or flight mode.

Breathwork & The Brain

When we breathe in the Full Free Flow method, the conscious circular method, we have less activation through the neocortex & default mode network and more activation through the limbic and reptilian parts of the brain. Emotions are stored in this part of the brain and as we breathe deep, blood flows to this area opening it up, which allows our subconscious to rise up into our conscious awareness.

We get to feel perhaps what we've pushed down and stored there. When we breathe in a conscious connected way we are hyperoxygenating the body and we create what's called hypocapnia which is a decrease in CO2 in the blood. This causes respiratory alkalosis – blood pH rise. Studies show less activity in the prefrontal cortex and more activity in the limbic brain.

Breathwork And The Body

The innate intelligence within the body knows how and what to release. Within the body, we can experience many sensations and discharges. Discharges When we discharge energy and patterns, we call it somatic unwinding. This is an involuntary movement of the body that is completing an interrupted arousal cycle due to an event.

Somatic unwinding can take us a steр deeper, to where we use Felt Sense to feel the body and its sensations. When we breathe deeply and activate deeper states of consciousness, our body can naturally release. This can look different for people and no 'one' journey is the same. People can go through the FULL spectrum of energetic expressions and discharges. As the nervous system unwinds, it is our role as a facilitator to understand what we are witnessing and how to best support our client.

We come to realise, we are supporting the body's own way of releasing what it's ready to release. The tools and methods we learn are just there to help people go deeper into what's already been expressed. We can support people to express themselves, yet we are only ever matching them and increasing the energy by small doses each time. In somatic therapy they call this TITRATION which means we can help the body unwind piece by piece.

What & Why

TBM is a specific breath system that uses the breath to help release stress and struggles that have built up in the body from this modern lifestyle. Breathwork is a powerful tool to access the inner intelligence of our own mind and body for personal transformations.

The TBM is designed to help you clear out the old and get more clarity around your life and purpose. The two main purposes are: clearing stress and trauma and personal growth.

How

We use two types of cosmic breaths so you are in the driver's seat the whole time and you can use these after this session as well: Think of the breaths as the accelerator and the brake. The accelerated mouth breaths for the first half and decelerated nose breaths for the second half (longer exhalations).

The breath process we use is called the Full Free Flow. We pull the breath from the belly and we sweep it up and out. Eyes are closed, laying down on your mat and staying on your mat.
