A Dive Into Deep Breathing: Practical Advice W/ Mark and Catherine Divine


Listen Later

Want to breathe new life into your daily routine? This week, Mark and Catherine Divine break down the truly transformative power of breathwork, spanning a rich tapestry of profound insights, techniques and personal anecdotes. 

Though it seems simple, mastering the art of breathing can lead to profound changes in one's life. Not only does it play an important role in regulating the nervous system, but conscious breathing can enhance mental clarity, and create new and deep spiritual connections. Amidst discussions on documentaries, yoga traditions and practical and applicable breathwork techniques, Mark and Catherine’s powerful insights are without a doubt invaluable for anyone looking to bridge the gap between body, mind, and spirit. 

Key Takeaways:

  • The Fundamentals of Breathwork: Understand the physiological and mental benefits of simple breathwork techniques such as nostril breathing, and how they serve to bridge the body, mind, and spirit. 

  • Debunking Breathwork Myths: Discover why high-intensity breathwork isn’t always necessary and in some cases can actually be counterproductive to those without proper groundwork. (Especially for those with sensitive nervous systems or unresolved emotional issues.) 

  • Practical Breathwork Techniques: Learn how to incorporate tactical breathwork techniques and breath awareness to manage stress and enhance overall well-being. 

  • Historical Context: Gain insight into how  breathwork practices have evolved from ancient traditions like yoga and qigong, and how modern science is catching up to this age-old wisdom.
