Breathwork is a transformative somatic healing practice that harnesses the power of your breath to release stress, stored trauma, and emotional blockages. But what does this mean for you?
The term “somatic” comes from the word “soma,” meaning “body.” Essentially, somatic healing focuses on healing through the body, recognizing the deep connection between your physical sensations and emotional experiences.
Step into your life with greater freedom and reclaim your sense of safety and connection. Selah offers a wealth of Breathwork practices to support you on this journey.
Everything in existence has a sound and its own unique vibration, even if we can't hear it. The natural frequency at which something vibrates is called resonance. Each part of our body has its own resonance, and when these natural frequencies fall out of balance due to stress, illness, or environmental factors, it can lead to disease.
It’s widely recognized that stress is a major factor in many illnesses. Treatments that promote relaxation, like sound therapy, can be highly effective in reducing stress and supporting healing. Sound therapy helps shift your body into a parasympathetic state, which enhances emotional and physical well-being. It boosts immunity, lowers cortisol levels, helps regulate blood pressure, and improves sleep by increasing alpha and theta brain waves.
When you're in a constant "fight or flight" state due to stress or pain, your body produces excess cortisol and inflammatory molecules, which can be harmful over time. Sound therapy helps restore harmony to the body’s rhythms, promoting the release of healing hormones such as endorphins, oxytocin, and serotonin. It also stimulates the production of melatonin for better sleep and nitric oxide for overall health.
Through the principle of Sympathetic Resonance, sound helps slow brain waves, allowing you to enter a meditative state. In this relaxed state, your subconscious becomes more open to insights, affirmations, and healing.
