Breatheology refers to the art of conscious breathing, and is a concept invented by Danish freediver and author Stig Åvall Severinsen. It is about you learning and understanding how you can optimize every single breath to get more energized in your everyday life.
Breatheology
There are 3 main elements in the Breatheology Method:
- Ancient knowledge of breathing, body & mind
- Scientific research on human physiology & neurology
- Modern sports exercise & flow psychology
Severinsen believes that by combining these three elements into one simple framework, Breatheology can offer something positive to every single human being interested in improving various areas of their lives.
Breatheology is an alternative therapy that uses breathing and breath-holding techniques to enable the body to absorb more oxygen, and thus link it properly with the mind. It has many advantages, such as:
- Gain more energy in your daily life — i.e. perform better physically
- Become better at managing stress — i.e. perform better mentally, reduce PTSD
- Optimize your work and athletic / sport performances
- Avoid illnesses and get well faster — i.e. alleviate pain and improve health
- Minimize chronic or transient pain
- Become happier and more positive
- Live a healthier and longer life.
