There will be a few sighs in this one, as well as some therapeutic inhale holds and tempo breathing of 5-5-5. Thanks again for anyone listening, it’s very cool to see people from around the world tuning in. If you’re on socials, come say hi!! Purvida_ on Instagram! It would be good to hear from you.
A lot of questions come through regarding where to begin with Breathwork and/or some sessions feel a little intense. Today’s session is an intro to the amazing world of Breathwork. Simple, short and effective. PS, this session is absolutely for everyone and not just for beginners. Click the play button to create some calm today.
To celebrate 1000 episodes downloaded (thanks so much by the way), here’s a weekend stress release for you to try. The first few minutes I give a little science around stress and why it’s important to identify your primary stressor. *Skip to 4 minutes if you want to head straight for the practice*
Still need to set an aim for 2022? Let this session guide you. Nothing complex, just a goal to set for the year and a bit of Breathwork to help clarify and bring focus to a new year.
Thanks for tuning in this year folks; I truly hope it has been helping. Today’s session starts with two rounds of energetic mouth breathing, followed by a 4-7-8 breath pattern. A great way to finish the year and reflect on how this year has been for you.
Thanks again for tuning in! Huge love to you and your family.
Holotrophic is an ancient technique which was used to essentially ‘reset’ the brain. Usually sessions involve three hours worth of fast and deep breathing. I’m delivering it in 12 minutes 🙂 - you’ll still feel the benefits. When we breathe to this degree, CO2 will start to decrease from the body and blood alkalinity will start to increase. When this occurs, certain areas of the brain light up, whilst other areas switch off. This is where we can unlock certain emotions we have buried within us, really escape our mind and leave us feeling refreshed and a sense of peace. Big love to you all and I hope you enjoy the session!
Good day all. This session is designed to calm things down. We use the method of CO2 build up which essentially means we take small and slow breaths of air in, building up CO2 in the blood. This releases oxygen from the red blood cells and into the cells, muscles and brain. We also further our exhale which activates the parasympathetic nervous system, putting us into a state of calm and reducing levels of stress and anxiety.
Join me for a science-backed approach for reducing anxiety and stressful thoughts and feelings. Come explore a rhythm of 4 seconds on the inhalation, 5 second holding and a 8 second exhalation. And breathe...
A powerful practice for clearing the head and resetting yourself. You’ll also feel a great buzz after!
