What is Transformational Breath®?

A Global Leader in Holistic Breathwork for 50 Years

Transformational Breath® (TBr) is a world-renowned breathing system that integrates and causes physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation. Developed by Dr. Judith Kravitz, this technique combines two groundbreaking tools—Breathing Analysis and Bodymapping—to identify and optimize breathing patterns, unlocking greater vitality, balance, and well-being.

Utilizing sound and invocations adds another dimension of support and healing.

With a 50-year legacy, TBR is taught in 56 countries and 12 languages, reaching millions worldwide. This proven system harmonizes body, mind, and spirit through its gentle yet effective methodology.

This technique is not just about breathing; it’s about transforming your breath into a dynamic tool for personal change and growth.

Core Principles of Transformational Breath®
 
Integration of Body, Mind, and Spirit: Transformational Breath® emphasizes the connection between body, mind, and spirit, supporting full deep, therapeutic breathing that increases lung capacity, promotes emotional integration, and fosters spiritual connection.

Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing: Central to the practice, full diaphragmatic breathing enhances oxygen delivery to tissues and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation, balance, and healing.

Integration of Suppressed Emotions: Transformational Breath® helps integrate past and present emotional issues stored in the body and subconscious, aiding in the healing of past feelings, traumas, and offering greater freedom on every level.

Accessing a Higher State of Consciousness: The full connected breath pattern raises frequency, aligns brain hemispheres, and thereby expanding awareness, creativity, and a deep sense of inner connectedness.

Use of Affirmations: Facilitators incorporate affirmations to reinforce positive beliefs and reprogram negative thought patterns, supporting transformation.

Movement and Sound:  Movement and sound, such as toning and various body movements before and during sessions, help stimulate breathing, contribute to integration, and improve energy flow throughout the body.

How a Transformational Breath® Session Works
 
Pre-Session Preparation
The facilitator prepares the space for safety, relaxation, and breathwork grounding and centering themselves to set a positive tone for the session.

Welcoming and Initial Assessment
New clients undergo an initial interview to discuss their physical and medical conditions, allowing the facilitator to tailor the session to their goals, needs and capabilities.

Setting Intentions
The facilitator supports the client in setting a personal intention for the session, aligning their goals with the breathwork practice.

Breathing Analysis
The client lies on a mat and breathes normally while the facilitator observes their natural breathing pattern to plan the intervention.

Demonstrating the Technique
The facilitator demonstrates the breathing technique, ensuring the client understands how to breathe effectively for maximum benefit.

Active Breathing Phase
The client begins the active breathing phase, accompanied by invocations and music. This is the core part of the session, where transformational work occurs.

Techniques and Adjustments
The facilitator uses techniques like Body Mapping, affirmations, toning, and movement, adjusting the client’s position to enhance the breathing pattern.

Integration
After the active breathing phase, the client returns to relaxed breathing, allowing integration and insights to emerge.

Grounding and Closing
The facilitator helps the client ground themselves, offering something to drink and ensuring they feel steady before leaving.

Feedback and Sharing
The session ends with an opportunity for the client to share their experiences and insights, deepening their understanding of the process.

Experience the Unique Benefits of Transformational Breath®
 
Physical Health
Transformational Breath® restores natural, full, deep breathing, often disrupted by conditioning, stress and life traumas. By engaging in full diaphragmatic breathing, it massages vital organs, supports digestion, and stimulates the lymphatic system, boosting immune function and detoxification. Research shows that it reduces stress hormones like cortisol, improves lung function, and supports cardiovascular health, enhancing overall physical well-being.

Emotional Integration
This practice helps integrate suppressed emotions and opens energy blockages, fostering emotional balance, reducing stress, and promoting inner peace.

Mental Clarity and Focus
Regular practice of Transformational Breath® calms the mind, improves focus and allows for clearer thinking and better decision-making.

Spiritual Connection
Many practitioners experience profound spiritual awakenings, connecting more deeply with their higher selves and the world around them. By aligning with natural breathing patterns, you may discover a stronger sense of purpose and spiritual fulfilment.
