Somatic Therapy
The Role of Breathwork in Reducing Stress
Breathwork plays a crucial role in reducing stress by helping regulate the body’s autonomic nervous system. Slow, deep breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which counteracts the fight-or-flight response triggered by stress. This leads to a calming effect on both the mind and body, lowering heart rate, blood pressure, and anxiety levels. Breathwork techniques, such as diaphragmatic breathing and rhythmic patterns, also promote oxygen flow to the brain, enhancing focus and clarity. By incorporating breathwork into daily practices, individuals can effectively manage stress, improve emotional regulation, somatic therapy and achieve a greater sense of overall calm and relaxation.
