Breathing Through Blockages / Healing With Breathwork

Breathing is the primary tool to get the process of healing work

started; plus, it's cheap, it works, and is better than any drug or

stimulant. Nonetheless, the breath is not the totality of the work. But

it is worth further mentioning here. If anything, it is an active

meditation that creates a space in a person's intellect to enable you to

work deeply to their core. Breathing allows you to go to the depths of

the feelings and into the subconscious.

As the breath stimulates energy in the body, the healer's job is to

focus awareness into areas where the person is stuck, generally

correlating to areas where their energy is stuck. The breath moves

energy to those areas, right against the blocks. The energy from the

breathing process raises the vibration by stimulating the hypothalamus

gland (crown chakra) and then the body's lower chakras; the hypothalamus

releases endorphins, which have a very high vibration. This vibration is

an electrical current that moves through the nervous system and hits

against the block. The block is usually fear or some sort of resistance

stopping the energy flow. The breath keeps pressing energy against the

block and this is where things get very intense.

With some people, continuing with the breath pushes energy through the

block and they open up; more specifically, they open their hearts as

energy turns to Spirit when the healing occurs. Others who are caused

discomfort from the breath will try slowing the breath and giving in to

the familiarity or comfort of the resistance. Both approaches bring

awareness to the body, to the subconscious, the intellect, the emotions,

and to the person. The most desired outcome is when the person opens up

and releases the block. Powerful healing can also occur as the person

gives in to the resistance. The outcome is slower, yet eventually the

healing has a chance to occur.

The key is to get awareness into a person's conscious mind so that they

can understand there is a block affecting their reality. The length of

time it takes to change their reality is their own choice.
