(3/3) So please beware, they're shady as heck. :/ Also if you just want to find out more about the technique, there are good descriptions on Reddit.

Also, this is weird to point out since I'm not normally a fan of credit card companies, but I gotta say that Citibank, which hosts my Costco Visa, has given me great customer support in a world where nobody seems to do that anymore.

And their hold music doesn't make me want to plug my ears.

Okay hey friends with #ChronicIllness and folks who meditate or do #Breathwork - please be aware Soma Breath (.com) is not a great place to sign up. I joined last June to learn their breathwork, it wasn't for me (too dysregulating for my tiny woodland creature nervous system) and I left. A couple months ago we realized they were STILL charging us the monthly fee, even though I had unsubscribed and closed my account back in July.

I've disputed charges for the last two months... (cont. 1/3)

In questo evento online, esploreremo insieme il funzionamento della respirazione coerente, alternando teoria e pratica, per comprendere come applicarla nella vita di tutti i giorni. Non serve alcuna esperienza precedente, solo curiosità e voglia di sperimentare.

L’incontro è gratuito e aperto a tutti, previa registrazione via email a info@br3ath.org.

L'evento si terrà su Zoom, venerdì 4 aprile alle ore 20:30.

Good morning. No matter where you are, I am thinking of you and hope you are well and happy and enjoying this brief moment in this wonderfully improbable universe. 🫂

#Atmung: Seismograf und Fernbedienung unseres inneren Zustands

"Viele von uns leben im chronischen Stress. Zwei Drittel der Deutschen sagen, dass sie manchmal oder häufig gestresst sind. ... Dann suggeriert das Nervensystem unserer Atmung: 'Atme schnell! Du musst bereit sein zu fliehen!' ... Der Körper macht sich bereit ..., obwohl er das gar nicht muss.
...
Machen wir uns dies allerdings bewusst, kann entgegengewirkt werden ..."

#Breathwork #Retreat: Tauche ein in Dein Selbst

17.10.-20.10.24, bei #Berlin

"Connected Breathwork ist ein Erlebnis der Selbstentdeckung: über bewusste, intensivierte Atmung wird eine Veränderung des alltäglichen Bewusstseinszustandes bewirkt. So kann sich das Tor des Bewusstseins erweitern und vielfältige, teils intensive Erfahrungen verschiedener Art sind möglich, zum Beispiel tiefe persönliche Einsichten, Lösung emotionaler Blockaden, Gefühle von Verbindung […]"

""Altered states of consciousness (ASCs), induced e.g. by psychedelics, show great potential to treat widespread mental health disorders like depression and #PTSD. However, access to such treatments is restricted by legal, medical, and financial barriers. Here, we explore the potential of circular breathwork to serve as an accessible, non-pharmacological alternative to engage similar therapeutic processes. Scientific studies investigating the mental health effects of breathwork are only just emerging and the underlying physiological and psychological mechanisms are largely unknown. In this study, we address these questions by tracking physiological and experiential dynamics throughout a breathwork session, comparing two popular forms of breathwork: Holotropic Breathwork® and Consciously-Connected breathwork. We show that a reduction in end-tidal CO2 pressure due to deliberate hyperventilation is instrumental in catalyzing ASCs during breathwork. ASCs evoked by #breathwork were comparable to those produced by #psychedelics, and their depth predicted psychological and physiological follow-on effects, including improved well-being and a reduction of depressive symptoms. Moreover, different breathwork formats produced highly similar physiological, experiential and psychological outcomes. These results outline physiological boundary conditions for ASCs to arise in a non-pharmacological context, shedding light on the functional mechanisms of breathwork as well as its potential as a psychotherapeutic tool.""

"We are a team of researchers from Humboldt-Universität conducting an anonymous online survey about people’s experiences with #breathwork.

You are warmly invited to take part if you have done at least 1 fast-paced breathwork session in the last 5 years (Circular breathing, ​Conscious Connected Breathwork, Rebirthing, or similar) and it was led by a facilitator.

Your responses will help us to better understand the therapeutic potential of breathwork."

"Deliberate control of the breath (#breathwork) has recently received an unprecedented surge in public interest and breathing techniques have therapeutic potential to improve mental health. Our meta-analysis primarily aimed to evaluate the efficacy of breathwork through examining whether, and to what extent, breathwork interventions were associated with lower levels of self-reported/subjective stress compared to non-breathwork controls.

[...]

For stress, though not many studies monitored home practice/self-practice, engagement with interventions appeared good, none reporting adverse effects directly attributed to breathwork. This suggests breathwork has a high safety profile and slow-paced breathing techniques can be recommended to subclinical populations or those experiencing high stress. However, regarding clinical populations, the findings from our meta-analysis show non-significant effects for mental and physical health populations, hence it could be premature to recommend breathwork in these contexts. If breathwork can indeed provide therapeutic benefit to specific populations, conducting research with strong, low risk-of-bias design is essential to understanding if breathwork is genuinely effective or not."

NatureEffect of breathwork on stress and mental health: A meta-analysis of randomised-controlled trials - Scientific ReportsDeliberate control of the breath (breathwork) has recently received an unprecedented surge in public interest and breathing techniques have therapeutic potential to improve mental health. Our meta-analysis primarily aimed to evaluate the efficacy of breathwork through examining whether, and to what extent, breathwork interventions were associated with lower levels of self-reported/subjective stress compared to non-breathwork controls. We searched PsycInfo, PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov and ISRCTN up to February 2022, initially identifying 1325 results. The primary outcome self-reported/subjective stress included 12 randomised-controlled trials (k = 12) with a total of 785 adult participants. Most studies were deemed as being at moderate risk of bias. The random-effects analysis yielded a significant small-to-medium mean effect size, g = − 0.35 [95% CI − 0.55, − 0.14], z = 3.32, p = 0.0009, showing breathwork was associated with lower levels of stress than control conditions. Heterogeneity was intermediate and approaching significance, χ211 = 19, p = 0.06, I2 = 42%. Meta-analyses for secondary outcomes of self-reported/subjective anxiety (k = 20) and depressive symptoms (k = 18) showed similar significant effect sizes: g = − 0.32, p < 0.0001, and g = − 0.40, p < 0.0001, respectively. Heterogeneity was moderate and significant for both. Overall, results showed that breathwork may be effective for improving stress and mental health. However, we urge caution and advocate for nuanced research approaches with low risk-of-bias study designs to avoid a miscalibration between hype and evidence.
