What Is Transformational Breathing?
Transformational Breathing is a healing process that is self-empowering and can create great change in your life. This frequently asked question is answered in detail here.
What's the problem? I breathe just fine!
Actually that is not the case. Most people are not breathing to their full potential. In fact, over 90% of the population is only getting 50% of the air that is available. Breathing patterns often restrict the amount of air people take in which can lead to illness, low energy, lack of vitality, and depression. In fact, breath capacity is one of the best predictors of a person's lifespan. The Global Breath Institute will help you maximize your breathing and create positive breathing habits for a long life!
Is this a relgious thing?
No, however, it can be spiritual. One of the key benefits of working with experienced instructors is that they know that each person comes from a different walk of life. Dave and Pat’s awareness of this allows them to guide each person in accessing their own beliefs. In fact, the Global Breath Clientele includes practitioners of many faiths including Christianity, Buddhism, Muslim, Hinduism and more. If you are not interested in a spiritual experience, you can still benefit from all of the positive effects of proper breathing.

What can I expect from a facilitated breath session?
Transformational Breathing is more than a breathing technique, breathwork therapy or other form of conscious breathing. The facilitated breath session is one aspect that distinguishes Transformational Breathing Breathwork from other forms of breathwork or breathing therapies.
A facilitated breath session is where a trained Transformational Breath Facilitator monitors a breather's breath pattern and through conscious intent, affirmations, movement, intuitive guidance and the physical manipulation of muscle and fascia seeks to open the person's breath pattern. The physical manipulation takes the form of light massage, stretching or pressure points. In a very broad sense it is similar to a massage. The application of press points is similar to a shiatsu or acupressure treatment.
Transformational Breathing is the only form of breathwork therapy that utilizes a hands on approach making it very effective for opening your breath pattern. To the recipient, this translates to a relaxed body, stress free, with peace of mind and lightness of being.
How is Transformational Breathing Breathwork different from other breathing methods?
It is a process and a therapy that will transform you and bring you health and joy. See our What Makes Us Different page for more information about Transformational Breathing and other forms of breathwork such as Rebirthing Breathwork and Holotropic Breathwork.
How does Transformational Breathing Breathwork affect emotions?
Transformational Breathing Breathwork can imporve your mental and emotional state of being. When your breath is open, your mental and emotional health improves. You have more energy and think more clearly. When the breath's high vibrational energy comes in contact with lower vibrational energies such as grief, fear, depsression, sadness, anger, self sabotaging thoughts etc., it lifts the vibration to a higher level. Automatically and effortlessly your emotional body and mental body are elevated.

Can Transformational Breathing Breathwork help me get sick less often?
There are many reasons a person gets sick. A primary cause of sickness such as a cold or flu is that the body's natural immune response and defenses are weakened. This is usually due to stress. It is a known fact that stress weakens our immune system and this is where Transformational Breathing Breathwork prevails.
A consistent breath practice lowers stress levels and this automatically supports the immune response. But there is much more. Consider ...
- When a person consistently practices breathwork such as Transformational Breathing, they bring more oxygen into the body. It is a known fact that many bacteria and viruses cannot live in an oxygenated environment.
- During a facilitated breath session, a Transformational Breath Facilitator works to gently relax and open restrictions in a person's diaphragm. The result is that the diaphragm will extend over a fuller range of motion. This will massage the body's internal organs releasing toxins and enhancing lymph flow. This is key to a healthy body.
- A simple but little known fact is that the body eliminates the greatest volume of toxins through the exhale of breath. If a person is not breathing fully, then they are not exhaling waste products as completely as they could. These wastes remain within the body creating an unhealthy atmosphere for bacteria and viruses to thrive.
- Because Transformational Breathing Breathwork is more than just a breathing technique or breathing exercise, it brings more lifeforce or prana into the body. This has immense benefits to the body. The body needs fresh prana to thrive. Transformational Breathing Breathwork not only provides the best self-empowering means to access more prana 24/7, it also expels old prana from the body's energy systems making room for the fresh prana. The chakras then use this prana to direct and control the body's organs and other systems allowing them to function at optimal levels. The result ... you get sick less often.
Many conscious breathers note that not only do they get sick less often but when they do get sick, the illness is often less severe and of a shorter duration.
What is the connection between conscious breathing breathwork such as Transformational Breathing and medicine?
Although there is scant research supporting the connection between health and well-being and breathwork, hundreds of thousands of people can testify to the many benefits realized and symptoms relieved.
Nevertheless, assuming that Transformational Breathing can open a person's breath and allow more oxygen into the physical body, then science supports a whole host of benefits when the body is more oxygenated. Benefits such as improved energy levels, increased blood flow, faster healing, lymph drainage and increased metabolism are just a few. Oxygen helps with heart disease and even colds and viruses as many bacteria and viruses cannot live in an oxygenated environment.
