Why Breathwork During a Juice Fast is So Powerful
Conscious Breathing and Juice Fasting: A Transformational Journey
We live in a crazy paced world where our minds, heart, body and soul are constantly bombarded with stress, toxins and distractions. It has become more important than ever to find ways to reset, heal and reconnect with our inner selves. Two powerful practices to support achieving transformation at a deep level are juice fasting and breathwork. When juice fasting is combined with conscious breathing, a profound synergy within our body is created, opening us up to a deep spiritual and somatic reset, resulting in increased clarity, vitality and overall well-being.
The Science of Juice Fasting
Juice fasting isn’t some new fad – it’s been a practice used by ancient cultures for centuries to support the body’s natural detoxification process. When fresh, nutrient rich juices are the only thing we consume for a period of time, we gift our body a massive influx of vitamins and minerals, as well as providing our digestive system with a well-earned break. All the energy that would previously have gone into digesting food, gets repurposed and used for detox and deep healing. During a juice fast, our clever bodies shift into a state of cellular repair, eliminating toxins and promoting regeneration. How amazing are we humans!
Juice fasting has also been used by ancient cultures as a spiritual tool to promote heightened awareness, emotional release and deep introspection. When processed foods and toxins are removed from the diet, energetic stagnation that can potentially block us from accessing higher states of consciousness is removed. Common reports from those that juice fast are experiencing enhanced intuition, a deep connection to their inner wisdom and a profound sense of lightness.
The Somatic Power of Breathwork
We can always turn to ancient cultures for tried and tested healing methods, and breathwork is another traditional practice with roots in various spiritual and healing teachings. The technique is very simple and involves a conscious, connected breathing process that enables our body to release stored emotions, regulate the nervous system and even access altered states of consciousness.
Breathwork taps directly into our body’s energy system, so from a somatic perspective, it allows for the unlocking of deep-seated trauma, tension and suppressed emotions in a safe, conducive environment. The thinking mind quietens, allowing the release of stress and trauma at a cellular level without thought processes resisting the natural flow of emotion. In turn, this creates space for emotional freedom and inner peace, enabling the ability to flow through day to day life with a calmer outlook.
Common reports from those that engage in this practice regularly include profound shifts and spontaneous insights, emotional breakthroughs and a deep sense of connection to themselves and the universe. Essentially, breathwork acts as a bridge between the physical and emotional body, helping us access the wisdom of our higher selves.
Why Juice Fasting and Breathwork are a Perfect Combination
Although each modality has its power and benefits in its own right, when combined, juice fasting and breathwork create a powerful transformational journey that works at the physical, spiritual, emotional and mental level.
Here’s why:
1. Deep Detoxification and Emotional Release
Juice fasting supports the purging of toxins from the physical body, whilst breathwork
helps purge the mind and emotional body of stored trauma and stagnant energy.
When completed together, a full-spectrum detox for our body and mind and spirit is
created.
2. Enhanced Clarity and Awareness
The combination of heightened mental clarity and awareness from juice fasting, together with the expansion of consciousness and perception from breathwork, helps us to tap into profound insights and self-discovery.
3. Heightened Energy and Spiritual Connection
Energy freed up when juice fasting is repurposed for detox, healing and spiritual awakening. Breathwork helps to amplify this energy, allowing for deeper inner journeys and mystical experiences than normally experienced.
4. Increase Vitality and Nervous System Reset
Juice fasting and breathwork help regulate the nervous system, which in turn supports every function within our body. Rejuvenating the nervous system leaves our body feeling deeply refreshed, revitalised and balanced.
5. Deeper Connection to the Body and Inner Wisdom
As distractions such as excess food and thinking are removed, our body is able to tune into its own innate intelligence and access our deepest truths.
