In all ancient medical traditions, the term “air” (“rlung” in the Tibetan medical and spiritual tradition, “prana” in the Ayurvedic one, “Qi” in the Taoist one) included both the bodily meaning of “life energy” and the “psychic” meaning of energy linked to the mind, emotions and consciousness.

So, since ancient times, breathing has always been linked to life and mind and has always been the main tool used for psychosomatic balance and spiritual realization.

In fact, if we think about it, air is the most essential of the indispensable foods for life: it is possible to stay many days without food, a few days without water, but only a few minutes without air.

Breathing allows the oxygenation of the blood and the release of carbon dioxide, functions at the basis of metabolism and cellular life.

Even in the West, although in more recent times, Wilhelm Reich in the 1940s and then Lowen from the 1960s have understood the relationships between breathing, body energy and psycho-emotional energy.

Reich understood that the repression of free instinctive-emotional expression produces the blockage of emotions which in turn produces deep blockages of the respiratory system throughout the body creating a specific “muscle armor”.

.

Similarly, when breathing is blocked in one area of ​​the body, the sensations and emotions that come from that area to the brain are also altered.

In fact, the relationship between breath and emotions is evident, it is enough to observe the quality of the breath of a person or an animal to understand what emotion is experiencing.

For example, whenever an animal or a child is afraid, it changes its breathing with a characteristic contraction of the respiratory muscles of the back, neck, diaphragm and upper chest.

The inhibition (typical in city children and animals living in apartments) of the most vital physical functions such as moving, running and playing in nature causes a weakening of abdominal breathing.

The repression of the free expression of the voice, of one’s opinions and emotions produces contractions of the neck and throat muscles.

Both in the person and in the animals, when the energies of the instinctive-vital functions and of the emotional-emotional experiences flows freely and naturally in the body and in the mind, breathing is functional, that is the specific

respiratory scheme that is put in place in front of the situation that the animal lives is optimal for that specific one

situation (danger, rest, excitement, tenderness, control, dream, etc.).

Whenever, due to maternal, family, social conditions, trauma, stress, etc., the normal emotional, respiratory and energetic functioning is altered. Breathing becomes non-functional to balance and life and produces blockages and malaise.

Given the physiological relationship between emotions, body and breath, and given the characteristic of breathing to be the only body function both voluntary (conscious) and automatic (unconscious), it turns out that using the breath in a conscious way of breathing can create a bridge of transition from a somatic level to an emotional level and therefore be a powerful tool for the energetic dissolution of the tensions present both on the physical and emotional level.

As Deepak Chopra says “Every change in our mental states is reflected in the breath and then in the body. This phenomenon also works in reverse: changing the breathing patterns also changes the emotional state”.

Currently the Psychosomatic Breath is one of the main tools of psychosomatic release, inner transformation and personal growth used by the Holistic PsikoNeuroBioEmozione.

Psychosomatic breathing creates a direct link with our vitality, capable of recharging the body of energy, of dissolving psychosomatic tensions and blocked emotions, of opening the mind and awakening consciousness.

Breathing in a conscious way activates all those intelligent forces that allow a re-harmonization and an extension of our faculties, favoring the innate self-healing potential present in each one of us.

Breathing techniques can be practiced as a preventive measure to achieve greater well-being, or used effectively as an aid to therapies of all kinds.
