TransformBreathing is the tool to manage emotional reactions and reduce the physiological symptoms to a manageable level. Appropriate breathing also interrupts any emotional cycles that may be ongoing by changing the physiology of the neural pattern so new behaviors can be learned. The goal of the breath coach for emotional intelligence is to apply breath in that moment the emotions or worrisome thoughts arise. Children need the skill of TransformBreathing and the knowledge to be able to use it on the spot. Another reason that TransformBreathing works so well for emotional reprogramming is that emotions are associative, not logical.
Emotions associate with elements that symbolize realities.
That is why games, metaphors, music, stories, and breathing speak directly to the emotional mind, not the logic of feeling. The International Breath Institute. All rights reserved.
