Why Relaxation is so important in Breathwork
From Dan Brule book Just Breathe
I have been fortunate enough to work with Dan Brule one of the true Masters in Breathwork, & it’s an honour to call Dan My Breathwork Mentor
Anyhow I was Just reading his book again, because I always like to top up my knowledge, and take in his wisdom from
A different perspective now that I have grown and learned even more.
Sometimes going back over a book that is so valuable brings even deeper wisdom when you are in another place.
Dans book is called Just Breathe and thought you might like this passage.
When people breathe inevitably resort to spiritual or religious moments when they discover peace beyond all understanding
(In terms to describe the power and bliss that breathing brings)
A very powerful combination of energy and relaxation
When you master this second convergence in breathwork bringing together full consciousness and complete relaxation you touch a place in yourself, you open to a state that all the great masters and saints lived in and lived from.
You get a taste of the life lived by the Budha, Jesus, Lao-zu, Krishna, and all the other sublime teachers,
The Third Convergence: Combining Conscious Breathing and
Complete Relaxation
This is a high art and a transformational skill: the merging of peace and power.
Master it, and you will discover, experience, and accomplish things that the average person can only dream of.
Usually when people breathe in a powerful way, they don't relax.
And when they relax completely, they don't breathe.
The more they breathe, the less they relax; the more they relax, the less they breathe.
This is the common dilemma and the normal experience of people who have not mastered the art of breathwork.
The idea is to turn it all around so the more you breathe, the more you relax, and the more you relax, the more you breathe.
Stop sacrificing one for the other and you will enter the ranks of the great saints and yogis, the famous artists and legendary warriors.
Here we apply the principle of economy: we focus on breathing fully and freely, deeply and powerfully, all while using as lite muscular effort or activiy as possible.
We engage in deliberate relaxation even as we practice breathing deeper, faster, and more powerful breaths.
Combining full, free breathing and complete relaxation with great awareness is the secret that leads to the most empowering and enlightening benefits in breathwork.
It is the door to what we call peak, flow, or transcendent states.
It can be described as an "energized calm" or a "dynamic peace." You owe it to yourself to master this third and key convergence in breathwork.
The Three Convergence Reminders
1. Practicing the first convergence means practicing mindful breathing or Breath Awareness.
You're learning to let the breath breathe you.
The second convergence is about becoming conscious of the tensions in your body and eliminating unnecessary muscular activity.
It's especially important to relax the accessory breathing muscles.
The third convergence is about combining powerful breathing and deep relaxation in a conscious and creative way.
