Breathwork / Cold Exposure
Breathwork
It all starts with the breath, its the first thing we do when were born and the last thing we do before we depart from the physical world.
We breathe in an out around 22,000 times per day, however most of this is done unconsciously. But, the way in which we breathe has a massive impact on our body and our nervous system. Many of us breathe in a way that is not conducive to positive mental and physical health. Through stress and anxiety our breathing becomes shallow, fast and often through the mouth. When done repeatedly over time this can cause damage to our body.
By learning to become conscious and to take control our breathing we can rapidly make changes to our health. Continuous breathwork can not only improve our health on a physical level, but it can help us release, work through and overcome; trapped emotions, negative energy and deep rooted trauma.
Cold exposure
Get comfortable being uncomfortable.
In the 21st century we rarely ever feel discomfort, as our modern worlds are geared towards making us as comfortable as possible. However, feeling discomfort is in our DNA and without it there is no growth. By intentionally exposing ourselves to cold water we challenge the mind and body to push through barriers and realise how strong we can be.
Overtime this improves our mental resilience to stress overtime as we learn to remain calm in the cold which carries over to other areas of our life that we may feel stress under.
Cold exposure is also a health practice that has been shown to improve circulation, immune function, metabolism and promotes positive mental health.
