What to Do After Breathwork?
- How should I transition after the session?
– Take your time to gradually come back to your surroundings. Sit or lie down for a few moments, allowing yourself to integrate the experience. Relaxed breathing can help you center yourself. - What should I do if I feel overwhelmed?
– If you feel intense emotions or sensations, it’s important to acknowledge them without judgment. Grounding techniques, like placing your feet on the floor and focusing on your breath, can be helpful. Reach out to your facilitator for support. - Is there anything I should avoid after the session?
– Avoid strenuous activities or significant decision-making right after the session. Take time for self-care, whether that’s journaling, taking a warm bath, or spending time in nature. - How can I integrate my experience?
– Consider journaling about your experience, noting any insights or feelings that arose. Sharing your experience with someone you trust can also aid integration.
