How Breathwork Benefits The Mind, Body And Spirit

It’s something we’re constantly doing without even thinking about it: breathing. Although we may not realize it, being aware of our breathwork can help relax our nervous system and our state of mind, and Mark Guay describes ways in which we can control it in order to achieve this state of being.

Guay goes into detail on various types of breathwork that can help us with anxiety, clearing our minds, and getting a good control of our emotions. Through methodic breathing and meditation, we can learn ways to help with our focus, and a unique way of breathing can even cause us to gain a new perspective on things happening in our lives.

Live the Story You Want to Tell

It all suddenly made sense.

He said, “A moment that clearly defined what purpose meant to me was when I first started teaching… I don’t mean to teach people skills… but to get people to believe in themselves...”

Self-belief, a concept that gives you the confidence to overcome any obstacle that’s put in front of you.

Self-belief, a concept that develops from understanding your own abilities.

He continued by saying, “I had students who I worked my butt off to create these great lessons for, and I don’t think they always walked away understanding what I tried to get them to do. But, then I would get an email back from them, a year, two, three later or a Facebook message… and they’ll share these stories of where they’re struggling in their life… and they’ll say, ‘Mr. Guay, I just wanted to reach out to you… I’m realizing who are the people that helped me realize my greatness… the things that I could do… who pushed me to be a better version of myself… and I think of you”

As Maya Angelou once said, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
