In this episode, Dr. Mary Lake Bell and Nicky Yazbeck discuss the transformation power of conscious breathwork, highlighting its profound impact of healing and personal growth. Dr. Mary Laske Bell, a certified breathwork facilitator and Reiki practitioner, PhD sociologist, and entrepreneur, shares insights into how intentional breath work can lead to instant decompression, the channeling of ideas and solutions, and increased motivation.

Mary explains how breathwork activates the parasympathetic nervous system, providing physical, mental, and emotional benefits. She delves into the conscious circular breathing technique, which involves inhaling into the belly and chest, followed by a relaxed exhale. This method can lead to instant decompression, channeling of ideas and solutions, and increased motivation.

Mary also discusses the significance of the theta brainwave state during breathwork, which allows for deeper healing and clarity. She emphasizes the importance of preparation and guidance to manage potential side effects and release trauma effectively. Breathwork sessions can induce various physical and emotional sensations, such as feeling hot or cold, tingling, pressure, and emotional releases like laughter, sadness, anger, or resentment.

To ensure a safe and comfortable practice, Mary recommends adjustments such as using a pillow behind the back, a bolster under the knees, and a gently rolled blanket under the neck to keep airways open. She encourages participants to follow any emotions that arise and not suppress them. While the mental side effects can be challenging, they will dissipate over time.

Mary advises using grounding techniques after breathwork sessions to regain stability. These include grounding breaths, salt baths, cold showers, journaling, and consuming grounding foods. Each breathwork session can differ, with experiences becoming more profound over time.
