The advocates of breath work believe that the conscious change in the breathing pattern can create wonders. It has been used as part of psychotherapy and meditation and is supposed to produce psychological as well as spiritual benefits. Focusing on one’s breath is a form of meditation also. The general urge of a person is to hold the breath in emergencies or uncomfortable situations. But breath work enables one to control his breath and gives relief from stresses faced in daily life. Many of the modern western therapies are principled on breath work. The last thing about breath work is that one must practice breath work under an expert to receive the full benefits.
