Over the last ten years I’ve been privileged to guide thousands of people through Breathwork – giving them the same incredible experience. That being said, I lead breathwork in a much different way than my original experiences.

Explaining the Breathwork experience to someone is like trying to explain the colors in a kaleidoscope to someone who is blind. I just isn’t possible, so rather, I like to focus on the results. The most common statement heard after my classes is; “That felt like 20 years of therapy without having to say a word.”

Over the last ten years I’ve personally experienced so many incredible breathwork benefits and witnessed others experience the benefits as well.

One of the things you should know is that Breathwork is different for everybody and it’s different every time you practice so the results and benefits vary greatly.

I’m going to list 13 of the biggest benefits below. These are the most popular and immediate benefits that I see on a regular basis after 10 years of doing classes with 300+ people per class.

1. Profound immediate stress release
   Almost everyone experiences a huge stress relief immediately after doing this Breathwork technique. This is what most people come looking for and it’s exactly what they get. Rarely does something deliver so well as this.
2. Helps with depression and anxiety
   It’s been said that depression is about being stuck in the past and anxiety is about worrying about the future. Breathwork puts you right in the moment like nothing I’ve ever experienced and clears out that depression and anxiety.
3. Release toxins from your body
   Breathwork stimulates the lymphatic system and detoxifies the body. Breathing releases carbon monoxide and breathing is in charge of 70% of cleansing the body of toxins. The other 30% is done through the bladder and bowels. If you do not breathe fully, your body must work overtime to release these toxins.
4. Increase energy and boost immune system
   Breathwork improves our stamina and the more oxygen that you take into your blood the better our body functions. I’ve had people tell me once they started doing Breathwork they got all their energy back and they felt 20 years younger.
5. Helps with the digestion process
   Diaphragmatic breathing creates a gentle massaging action felt by the internal organs intestines and stomach which can reduce abdominal pain urgency, bloating and constipation. If you’re suffering from G.I. symptoms you should definitely give this a try as I’ve been told amazing things by my students over the years.
6. Releases trauma and fear
   I personally released all of my childhood trauma within the first three months of doing Breathwork. It caused such a dramatic and positive change in me that everyone who knew me asked what have I been doing. They wanted to try it as well because it was so obvious that I was a calmer and happier person. Breathwork also clears out fear of people and situations.
7. Increases self-love
   To me this is actually the biggest benefit from Breathwork because when you start to have more self-love, everything in your entire life changes. We all know we need to love ourselves but most of us have no clue. Practicing breathwork and showing up for yourself by doing the uncomfortable work, is true self love.
8. Eliminate chronic pain
   Most chronic pain actually stems from our emotions. Stress and anxiety create chronic pain in our body. Nobody doubts that stress can cause heart attacks and other health problems. I cannot even tell you the number of people that have told me the pain in their neck, back, wherever has gone away immediately from doing Breathwork.
9. Improve sleep
   Studies have shown that diaphragmatic breathing helps relax the mind and aid in sleep. I don’t suggest to my students that you do my particular technique right before bed as it can elevate the heart rate, but a few hours before bed is fine. People tell me that they sleep like babies after doing this Breathwork.
10. Increase self-esteem and confidence
    The number one regret people have on their deathbed Is that they wish they didn’t care so much what other people thought about them during their lifetime. One of the biggest things I’ve gotten from (Breathwork) is not giving a shit what other peoples’ opinions of me are. When you don’t care what other people think, then you can accomplish so much and it gives you a confidence that is unshakable and real. And people are attracted to that type of confidence. You become a magnet.
11. Explore altered states of consciousness
    (Breathwork) can take you into other states of consciousness and altered states and it can get pretty far out there. I’ve had some incredible experiences that are hard to explain and some of the realizations that have come to me during Breathwork have completely altered the course of my life for the better.
12. Strengthen your lungs
    Focusing on your breathing and doing a strong breathing technique strengthens your lungs. I found personally that this translates over into the sports and physical activities that I do on a regular basis.
13. Resets your day like nothing else
    Whenever you’re having a bad day you can just lay down and do this technique and it will completely reset you mentally physically and emotionally and it resets your entire day and gives you the perspective you need to start over. Anytime I’ve ever had an argument with my wife and I’ve done Breathwork I always come down and apologize and realize what I was arguing over just isn’t that important in the big picture. So Breathwork gives you a big picture perspective.

There are many more benefits than I have listed here and you will only discover them if you actually start doing (Breathwork) on a regular basis. If you want change in some way or some area of your life, this is the best tool I’ve ever found to create change. If you want something different, do something different. The more you do breathwork and start to use it for different areas of your life, you will see that you can transform your entire life with this incredible Breathwork practice. But as I always say – don’t take my word for it, do it and find out for yourself.
