What Is Breathwork and Why It’s the Fastest Way to Shift Your State

One of the simplest and most powerful tools we have for change is something we are already doing — breathing. The difference is in how we use it.

Breathwork is an intentional practice of working with your breath to influence your physical, mental, and emotional state. It can help calm the nervous system, increase focus, release stored tension, and even access deeper layers of clarity and insight.

I often think of breathwork as a bridge. On one side is how you feel right now. On the other is how you want to feel — clear, energized, grounded, inspired. The breath is what carries you across.

Breathwork vs. Breathwork Meditation

While many people use the term “breathwork” broadly, breathwork meditation is a specific practice where the breath becomes your anchor, helping you enter a meditative state. This can be as simple as counting inhales and exhales, or as dynamic as working with patterns that activate the body and clear emotional blockages.

Why I Love 9D Breathwork

9D breathwork is one of my favorite ways to guide clients into deep transformation. It combines nine dimensions of sound, frequency, and guided journey work, creating an immersive experience that works on multiple levels at once. The soundscapes, coaching cues, and breath patterns weave together so that you can access insight and release that might otherwise take months or years of talk-based work to reach.

It is more than just a class. It is a reset.

What to Expect in a Breathwork Class

If you have never been to a breathwork class before, here is what you might experience:

• A guided introduction to the breath pattern and intention setting.
  
  
• Music and sound frequencies that support the journey.
  
  
• Space for emotional release or physical sensations.
  
  
• A gentle integration period to help you return feeling grounded and clear.
  
  

Every session is unique because you bring a different version of yourself each time.

Breathwork Inside Ground & Grow

In my Ground & Grow program, breathwork plays a key role. We use it to regulate the nervous system, dissolve mental fog, and connect to a more grounded sense of self before taking aligned action.

I have seen participants come in feeling tense, scattered, or uncertain — and leave feeling like they have come home to themselves. It is why I believe breathwork is one of the fastest ways to shift your state and realign with your goals.

If you would like to experience this for yourself, you can explore upcoming 9D breathwork classes here or join Ground & Grow for a 14-day journey that combines breathwork, mindset, and simple daily practices for lasting change.
