When we shift our brain's activity through this breath process back into the limbic part of the brain, it gives us access to that which is deeply subconscious.
What if the key to overcoming addiction lies in something as simple as breathing? In this episode of 'Friends In Recovery', hosts Jersey Ed and Mike Miles sit down with Kate Becker, a Level Four Therapeutic Breathworker, to explore the profound impact of breathwork on addiction recovery. Kate, who also teaches Kundalini yoga and practices ecstatic dance, shares her journey and expertise in using breathwork to heal trauma and foster recovery.
The conversation dives deep into how trauma can manifest physically and how breathwork can help alleviate these symptoms at their core. Kate explains how consciously modulating our breath can create new neural pathways in the brain, helping us break free from old patterns. This technique goes beyond just physical relief; it taps into the subconscious mind, unlocking deeply held beliefs and emotions that fuel addiction. One intriguing topic they discuss is the controversial issue of cultural appropriation in yoga practices.
Kate argues that while it's important to acknowledge cultural origins, the primary focus should be on the healing benefits these practices offer. She highlights how breathwork can stimulate the glandular system and release hormones like oxytocin and dopamine, which are crucial for recovery. Kate also touches on the broader concept of embodiment work, emphasizing the importance of moving beyond our thoughts and using our entire body to achieve a sense of connection and peace.
By reframing addiction as a healing journey, breathwork becomes a transformative tool that allows individuals to access their own resources for self-regulation. This episode offers a fresh perspective on managing anxiety and panic through breathwork, providing practical techniques for listeners to incorporate into their daily lives. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone else, Kate's insights into therapeutic breathwork offer valuable tools for healing and self-discovery.
