One Command Breath Techniqe Explanation
In yesterday's circle I shared a breathing technique that I use for a variety of things, but lately I have been sharing it with my private clients. There was a glitch during the recording, so a part of the explanation got cut off. Here's the full rundown. Try it out and if you have any questions, post them here. Let me know how it worked for you! Kathryn Summary: How Aerobic Breathing Supports Emotional Integration Kathryn Perry teaches a structured breathing method (inspired by 90s floor exercise videos) to help: - Release physical tension and pain - Process stuck emotions - Support deep integration of mindset shifts - Access empowering emotional states (like “supernatural trust”) This isn’t just breathwork — it’s a neuro-somatic tool to reset the nervous system, access higher states of being, and rewire the emotional body. 🧠 Step-by-Step Breakdown for Analytical Thinkers 🔹 1. Identify the Problem or Emotional Discomfort - Where in your body are you holding tension, fear, or resistance? - Name the emotion or belief that arises when you think about a goal, task, or challenge. - Rate it on a 1–10 scale (how intense is the discomfort?). Example: “I want to raise my fees” → stomach clenches → rated at 7/10 🔹 2. Calibrate and Anchor Physically Use two hands to connect to different aspects of your awareness: - Right hand on heart = your Higher Self / inner wisdom - Left hand on belly (or pain point) = the part of you holding fear, emotion, or resistance This hand placement helps the empowered part of you soothe and support the challenged part. 🔹 3. Practice the Aerobic Breath Here’s the technique: - Step 1: Cleanse breath (small inhale/exhale) - Step 2: Inhale deeply through the nose into your belly - Step 3: Exhale strongly through the mouth while pulling your stomach in - Step 4: Hold the exhale out for a count of 8 (this is key) - Repeat 3 times 💡 Why this works: - Creates a mild physiological “shock” like a cold plunge or heavy lift - Activates your nervous system and builds new neural pathways - Increases oxygen and energy to targeted areas - Boosts posture, lung capacity, and brain function
