Breathwork involves various techniques that focus on conscious breathing to enhance physical and mental well-being. Benefits include reduced stress, improved focus, and increased emotional resilience. By regulating breath, individuals can activate the body's relaxation response, leading to lower anxiety levels and better overall health. Common techniques include diaphragmatic breathing, where one breathes deeply into the belly, and box breathing, which involves inhaling, holding, exhaling, and pausing for equal counts. Other methods, like holotropic breathwork, encourage deeper emotional exploration. Practicing these techniques regularly can lead to greater self-awareness and a sense of calm.
