Health Benefits of Breathwork

• Reduces Stress & Anxiety Activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping the body shift out of “fight or flight” and into a state of calm.

• Improves Emotional Regulation Supports clearer thinking and steadier moods by calming the nervous system and increasing self-awareness.

• Boosts Energy & Vitality Enhances oxygen flow throughout the body, improving circulation and helping you feel more awake and refreshed.

• Supports Better Sleep Helps quiet the mind and relax the body, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

• Strengthens Lung Function Encourages deeper, more efficient breathing patterns that can improve respiratory health over time.

• Enhances Focus & Mental Clarity Clears mental fog and improves concentration by increasing oxygen to the brain.

• Releases Stored Tension Breathwork can help release physical and emotional tension held in the body, leaving you feeling lighter and more balanced.

• Promotes Mind-Body Connection Encourages presence and awareness, helping you feel more connected to yourself and your inner experience.

You don’t need to fix everything. You just need to breathe. Come as you are. Leave feeling more like yourself.

When we breathe in a conscious, connected, and rhythmic way, we enter an altered state of consciousness. Our breath bridges the gap between our conscious mind, subconscious mind, and body. Our body remembers everything that our mind forgets, storing deep unresolved emotional wounds and trauma. This breathwork creates space for these unresolved emotions to surface, be felt, processed, and released from the body, while also helping to unwind the nervous system and held patterns of tension. It allows the body to complete interrupted arousal cycles (fight/flight/freeze/fawn) due to traumatic experiences.

This is a personal healing journey. At Me Mystique & I, we use breathwork to release stuck, heavy energies from the body to create freedom and liberation within. During the breathwork, you will receive energetic healing and bodywork to facilitate bodily shifts and movement, allowing you to find harmony within.

This session is for you if you are looking for:

• Cultivating a profound inner connection and a desire to awaken from within.

• Self-awareness, self-love, harmony, and vitality.

• Expansion of the heart space.

• Release from old baggage, trauma, repressed emotions, and transformation of negative behavioral patterns.

• Recollection of innate wisdom.

• Reduction of stress.

• Physiological healing – 70% of toxins are expelled from the lungs through intentional breathing.

• Reinforcement of the immune system, fostering health and overall well-being.

• Closer alignment with your life's purpose and an increase in positive abundance.

• Deepened connection to life.

• Openness to your higher self.
