Breathing is at the center of our lives, yet we are only beginning to tap into its full potential as a tool for healing. Conscious breathing is a powerful mechanism for transforming our physiological, emotional, and brain states, and is the fastest way to cultivate integrated presence. However, its full capacity for facilitating healing, personal development, stronger relationships, self-actualization, and personal and collective love is vastly unrecognized and underutilized.
In this book, breathwork expert Jessica Dibb offers compelling reasons to integrate the power of breathwork with psychotherapy and other healing and wellness practices. Here readers will find inspiration for daily breathwork practice as well as the methods, case examples, and actionable advice needed to incorporate breathwork into therapeutic sessions. Seamlessly marrying ancient wisdom with contemporary science, this insightful guide is for clinicians, breathwork practitioners, and anyone interested in exploring the transformative power of breath.
Reviews and Endorsements
A truly thorough, well-researched guide and handbook for breathwork. Full of good information, clinical insights, and compelling encouragement to include breathwork as a powerful healing modality.
Jack Kornfield, PhD, author of A Path with Heart
With the current increase in mental health concerns, strategies to self soothe are greatly valued. In Breathwork and Psychotherapy, Jessica Dibb calls on her rich experience as spiritual director of the Inspiration Consciousness School, which uses an integrated model of psychospiritual healing through breathwork. The reader is taken through the ancient origins, diverse traditions, contemporary science, and physiological rationale for using the Breath to heal and realize our full potential. Much recommended for mental health professionals, healers, and people interested in optimizing their health and potential.
Shirley Telles, PhD, consultant and advisor, Patanjali Research Foundation, India
In this remarkably comprehensive exploration of the varieties of conscious breathing (CB) and breathwork, Jessica Dibb makes a compelling case for the benefits to healers of incorporating it into their practices, and for readers to use in their lives. It’s brimming with clear details for such uses. From the Internal Family Systems perspective, CB can be an efficient way to calm protector parts, gain access to the healing essence in everyone which we call the Self, and find and heal exiled parts. I learned a lot from reading this fascinating book, and you will too.
Richard Schwartz, PhD, developer of the Internal Family Systems model and adjunct faculty, Harvard Medical School
