Breathwork & Meditation - The Ultimate Combo
Meditation and breathwork are both practices that are used to promote relaxation, reduce anxiety and stress that improves your well-being dramatically. However, they are different practices with distinct techniques and goals.
To practice meditation, you need to focus your mind on a particular “thing” like your breath to create mental clarity and relaxation. It is often used for spiritual and personal growth, and can be done in a seated, standing, or lying down position.
The most common meditation techniques include mindfulness meditation, which involves being in the present moment and blocking out the “noise”, and Transcendental Meditation, which is all about repeating a mantra in your mind so you can remain focused and present. Breathwork is different as it involves focusing on your breath to release tension, stress and anxiety.
Different breathing techniques can help you achieve different goals. Pranayama, for example is a yoga practice that involves controlling the breath, while holotropic breathwork is used to create an altered state of consciousness.
Combining breathwork and meditation can create a more powerful experience than either practice alone. Breathwork will relax and calm your body mind, making it easier for you to "go deep" into a meditation.

When I first started to learn about breathwork, I found a Breathwork Facilitator in Melbourne who combined Breathwork and Meditation. After my breathwork session, I was able to dive deep into my meditation, and be able to completely block out the "noise"...
From there I was hooked.
These two miraculous modalities can allow you to achieve a deeper state of relaxation and spiritual growth. Breathwork can help to open up energy channels in the body, allowing for a deeper release of tension and stress.
