1.5 Hours just for you, relax, take time out & heal. Breathwork helps to regulate the Nervous System. One of the most powerful effects of regulated breathing is it's ability to switch off the stress response in the body and to switch on the relaxation response, also known as the parasympathetic nervous system.
When we are feeling stressed or anxious, our sympathetic nervous system (SNS) (Fright or Flight) has been switched on, one of the most noticeable signs of a person being in an SNS state is that their breathing is short, fast and shallow. When we consciously slow down the breath, extend the exhalation and regulate our breathing, this can have a profound effect on the body's stress response, slow or regulated breathing sends the signal to the body that we are safe.
From here, the parasympathetic nervous system switches on (Rest & Digest or Feed & Breed), this will help us to feel calm, relaxed, peaceful and clear minded. IN the PSNS state, our body can use all of it's internal resources to heal and balance our body and mind.
When we are calm and relaxed there is better Oxygen delivery to all the cells of our body, including the brain, this is one of the reasons people who practice regular breath work may notice a reduction in brain fog and will notice clearer thinking.
The calming of the nervous system can help switch off the fear centres in the brain and to switch on the parts of our brain that are designed for more complex thought.

PACIFIC PARADISE (2 MINUTES FROM THE SUNSHINE COAST AIRPORT AT MARCOOLA):
Breathwork helps oxygenate the cells and brain of the body. It's relaxing & helps focus.
Breathwork refers to any breathing exercise or technique. People often perform them to improve mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. During Breath Work, you intentionally change your breathing pattern.
When the Nervous System is regulated and the brain is relaxed and Cerebro-spinal fluid reaches the brain through Breathwork, it will release DMT (Dimethyltryptamine) considered a strong hallucinogen, or psychedelic drug. Our brain makes this when we do Breathwork. (Not every time - however I have experienced this Euphoric natural high - getting high on my own supply)! The brain naturally produces DMT under a heightened state of awareness.
The brain also releases feel good chemicals like Seratonin during the day and Melatonin at night. This is the reason many attending regular Breathwork experience better, deeper sleep and prolonged feelings of a positivity. Their mood is elevated and in a "feel good" state due to this natural chemical release in the brain that can occur during a Breathwork session.
