It’s kind of wild…👇🏽
Most people think Breathwork just “calms them down.”
But that’s not actually what’s happening at all.
What’s really going on is way deeper
and it’s the real reason people feel lighter, clearer, and more grounded after just one session.
Here’s the pattern hardly anyone talks about:
👉🏽 Your body is constantly scanning for safety.
Not success.
Not clarity.
Not expansion.
Safety.
And Breathwork gives your Nervous System what it’s been begging for.
When you breathe intentionally, you activate the vagus nerve your body’s built-in “you’re safe now” switch.
Your heart rate slows.
Cortisol drops.
Your system shifts out of survival mode.
This is why you suddenly feel like you can breathe again… because biologically, you can.
Then something else happens:
your brain gets flooded with oxygen and blood flow.
Your prefrontal cortex switches back on the part responsible for clarity, emotional regulation, and grounded decision-making.
That’s why after 10 minutes of breathwork, you can hear yourself again.
Your intuition gets louder.
Your body softens.
Your mind stops spiralling.
And here’s the part most people never understand:
When your system finally feels safe,
your body starts releasing what it’s been holding the emotional residue, the tension patterns, the stored stress.
Crying, shaking, yawning, heat, tingles…
that’s your system discharging old survival energy.
It’s not “woo.”
It’s biology doing its job.
Breathwork doesn’t just make you feel better
it rewires your nervous system so you can be better.
This is why we teach it with science, somatics, and safety at the centre inside VIDYA.
