Explore the inner fabric of yourself and start to pay attention to your breathing.  People typically use breathwork to improve aspects of their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Breathwork is a Central Nervous System regulator and health optimizer. We use various breathing techniques to either up-regulate or down-regulate the CNS. It's incredibly effective at assisting those suffering with stress or anxiety. Conversely, the breath is used to create optimal physical conditions for performance and recovery.  Sam Johnson is here telling me about how breathwork changed his life around, and how anyone can get started exploring this space.
