What If The Secret to Feeling Better Was Right Under Your Nose?
You breathe every second of the day—yet most people never think about it. But what if I told you that your breath is the most powerful tool you have for transforming your mind, body, and emotions?
From reducing stress and anxiety to boosting energy and mental clarity, breathwork has been used for centuries to help people tap into their full potential. And the best part? It’s simple, effective, and always accessible.
In this post, we’ll break down:
✅ What breathwork is and why it works
✅ Three simple breathing techniques you can use today
✅ How to integrate breathwork into your daily routine
What is Breathwork? (And Why It’s a Game Changer)
Breathwork is an intentional breathing practice that shifts your physical, mental, and emotional state. Unlike regular, unconscious breathing, breathwork helps regulate your nervous system, guiding you from stress to relaxation—or even from sluggishness to high energy.
Science backs this up: breathwork has been shown to lower cortisol (the stress hormone), increase oxygen levels, and improve focus.
In my LYJ5D breathwork sessions, we take it to the next level by combining deep rhythmic breathing, powerful music, and guided meditation to help you release emotional blocks and tap into your highest self. But if you want a taste of what breathwork can do for you, try the techniques below.
3 Breathwork Techniques for Energy, Clarity, and Calm
1. Box Breathing (For Stress & Anxiety Relief)
How to do it:
☑️ Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds
☑️ Hold your breath for 4 seconds
☑️ Exhale through your mouth for 4 seconds
☑️ Hold again for 4 seconds
☑️ Repeat for 1-2 minutes
This technique is used by Navy SEALs and elite athletes to stay calm under pressure. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, this is your go-to breathwork hack.
2. Fire Breathing (For Energy & Focus)
How to do it:
☑️ Inhale deeply through your nose
☑️ Exhale quickly through your nose in short bursts, pumping your belly (like a bellows)
☑️ Repeat for 20-30 breaths, then take a deep inhale and exhale slowly
☑️ Do 3 rounds
This is perfect for those sluggish mornings or when you need a natural energy boost without coffee.
3. 4-7-8 Breathing (For Relaxation & Sleep)
How to do it:
☑️ Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds
