What is Elemental Breathwork?

In addition to the breath practices Amanda will introduce an acoustic soundscape with Tibetan sound bowls, flute, didgeridoo, voice and drumming to induce your altered state in a natural way.
How Does it Work?
All forms of breath directly affect the vagus nerve. Through this connection the breath helps to regulate the parasympathetic nervous system. This is beneficial due to the fact that when the nervous system is dis regulated the fight or flight response is triggered in the system. When this happens one can experience high levels of stress, anxiety, depression, nervousness, chronic pain, anger, frustration, shortness of breath, hypertension, increased levels of cortisol production and more.
When the nervous system is regulated through the breath the system can calm and experience relaxation, peace, joy, calm, freedom of pain, observation, fullness of breath, regulated blood pressure and heart rate, and a natural leveling of cortisol production. Conscious breath is scientifically proven to bring all of the bodies systems into a natural state of alignment. This allows one to come into a state of observation of their internal and external environment to bring in the ability to respond rather than to react to their experience.
