The MotherRoots approach is based on the idea that wellbeing begins at the root. Just like trees need strong roots to grow, we also need a strong foundation in our bodies, our emotions, and our sense of self.
What is breathwork (Intentional breathing)
Your breath is something you carry with you at every moment of your day. But when we get overwhelmed and busy, we become disconnected from it. The breath is one of the most powerful tools we have for healing and regulation, and is a tool we can access at any time.
Harnessing the connection between the body, breath and mind has been used since ancient times. We can enhance the way we live and perform by learning to control our breathing. This improves overall well-being and effectiveness at daily activities.
If you take a moment now, a momentary pause from the computer screen…
- Breathe In for 4 seconds,
- Hold for 4 seconds
- Breathe Out for 4 seconds
- Hold for 4 seconds
You have just completed a simple cycle of intentional breathing. All it took was 16-seconds to create space in your mind.
What happens in a breathwork session
Breathwork sessions create a safe space for the body to release stress, calm the nervous system, and reconnect with deeper emotions and intuition.
Each session is slightly different and tailored to the setting, but sessions usually include:
- A welcoming grounding meditation
- Connecting to the body
- Guided breathing techniques
- Nervous system regulation
- Emotional release
- Reflection and integration practices
Breathwork can support people experiencing stress, anxiety, overwhelm, or those simply wishing to reconnect with themselves.
