Breath Work Module

Welcome to the Breath Work Module. Here you will learn all things to do with breath work and how this can help in your relationship.

Breath work is such an amazing tool to use in your daily life with anything that comes up, especially within relationships. It’s the one go to tool you can use anywhere in any situation.

​

Breath work calms your nervous system and allows it to be in the parasympathetic nervous system, your rest and digest rather than being in the sympathetic nervous system, your fight or flight which we mainly are always in. Breath work allows you to feel better almost immediately and works your body to its full potential. When you use breath work it allows you to find that deeper connection with each other as well as yourself. It allows you to have that deep connection which has been lost. You deserve all of this and more.

​

So lets dive into the first part of the Breath Work module. Watch the video and then fill in the worksheets within this module.

There are so many different types of Breath Techniques but have a look at each video and see which one works for you. The more you practice these, the better your life and relationship will become.

​

Breathwork is a technique that involves intentionally controlling your breathing to improve your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being which in turn helps with your sexual intimacy. It works by: 

​

• Directing your diaphragm. 

  The diaphragm is a large muscle that separates your chest and belly cavities. When you contract your diaphragm, you expand your chest cavity and pull air into your lungs. 

• Regulating your breath. 

  You can learn to control how deep, how often, and how fast you inhale, and through what (nose or mouth). 

• Slowing down your breathing. 

  When you're stressed, your breathing tends to become fast and shallow, which limits the amount of oxygen that enters your bloodstream. Slowing down and breathing deeply and slowly can help your brain communicate to your body that it's safe to relax. 

Breathwork can help you:

• Enhance your well-being

• Promote deep relaxation

• Feel energized

• Treat stress, anxiety, and depression

• Reduce negative thinking

• Deal with grief

• Resolve past trauma

​

Breath work is absolutely incredible when it comes to finding the confidence to bring up something which has been niggling you for some time, whether that be something with your relationship or something within you. Once you start to learn the basics of breath work, your whole sexual experience will be transformed. My husband and I do breath work together, even just 2 minutes before we start to have sex and it really transforms our orgasms.

​

Breath work is also incredible at bringing more intimacy into your relationship. Say What!! Yes its true. The  more in tune you are with your body, the more sexual satisfaction you will have and who doesn't want that.

​

Have you ever looked at the way babies and children breath? They use their abdomen as well as their chest to inflate their lungs, giving them a full round of oxygen to flow throughout their bodies. It's only during adulthood that we seem to breathe shallowly and not use our lungs to their full potential. Hence why we feel sluggish, tired, stressed and above all feel no connection to our partner.

 

We are not getting any where near enough oxygen to our lungs to function to our full capacity. Hence low oxygen levels to our brains making it work inefficiently. Your breath is one of your best defences against daily stress, frustration, and genuinely living a healthy lifestyle as well as giving you the confidence you need have intimacy with yourself and your partner. 

 

Once you learn the art of expert inhaling and exhaling, you'll likely to start to feel better. You might notice that you have developed more resilience and grace and just learn to let go. It will also give you a huge confidence boost in the bedroom.

​

By using the breath work techniques below, you will start to have a better understanding of how your lungs, chest cavity, brain and all over body experience work. When you feel like everything is getting on top of you, just use one of these techniques and you'll find that you'll be able to cope with things better. Not just in everyday life, but within your sexual experiences as well.

​

Here are a couple of couples games you can try. 

​

Partner Back To Back Breath Work Pose

I absolutely love this concept. When you feel you are having a argument or a very difficult conversation, I would you both to sit on the floor or on the bed back to back. You are still touching each other but you aren’t facing each other. Breathe and feel each other’s chests expanding through your spine. Either hold hands or just rest your hands beside you. I want you to take in 3 big deep breaths together, inhaling and exhaling at the same time.

You can then go onto the below section or you can then do Square Breathing or Box Breathing to really feel fully connected to each other.

​

You aren’t looking at each other and so this gives you the confidence to really bring anything up that is on your mind. One of you speaks first and the other listens without interrupting. You both don’t shout and when the other person has finished talking, say yes ‘I hear you, and these are my thoughts’…

This way you both get to speak; you both get to feel each other and most of all you can speak to each other because you aren’t actually looking at each other which then gives you the confidence to speak up. Give it go and if it doesn’t work the first time, keep coming back to it. It eventually will let you speak to each other with confidence.

​

Breathe Together

Another breath work practice and game is to lay in bed facing each other, start kissing and then one of you inhales while the other person exhales but you are open mouth to mouth, so you are in effect inhaling your partners air. You can only do this for a few breaths as there wont be much oxygen flowing but it sure makes you both feel connected and turned on. Give it a try and let me know how you get on.

​

To carry on and expanding the next chapter in your life, lets get even deeper with a 1:1 Deep Dive session. This is a 90 minute call, followed by a 30 minute call, 2 weeks later to dive into the real nitty gritty of the Why's right now with the relationship you have with yourself and your partner.

​

So lets dive in and get you back to a place with your sexual intimacy in mind.
