Hit the Pause Button and BREATHE. The International Breathwork Foundation and its global affiliates will be celebrating events and sharing breathwork online.

WOODLAND HILLS, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As we move into a new decade, the world seems to be carrying forward the previous decade’s unresolved issues that leave many of us feeling tense, anxious and on high alert: earthquakes; devastating wildfires; political upheavals; the rise of nationalism; a potential pandemic; and the climate emergency, to name a few.

The world needs to hit the pause button and just BREATHE!!!

On April 11th, the International Breathwork Foundation (IBF) and its global affiliates will be celebrating the 16th annual World Breathing Day, a global event that invites us to remember, experience, and celebrate the healing and unifying power of breath.

“We all breathe, all human beings, beyond race, gender, politics and religion” says Veronique Batter, past president of the IBF and present Chair of the World Breathing Day initiative. “By celebrating this simple yet essential fact we invite more unity, inspiring peace into the world.”

While there are many ways to breathe consciously, all have tremendous benefits in managing stress, reducing trauma, increasing focus, affecting self-regulation and hyper-activity, and critically and positively impacting physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and well-being.

Conscious breathing has also demonstrated to be a highly effective tool used to achieve and maintain mental and emotional balance during times of crises, and can easily be taught to groups of people in critical conditions and in emergency situations.

“Consciously breathing together synchronously in large groups has been shown to fluidly create harmony, unity and connection among people gathering at events. The world could use more unity right now, so we invite you to join us in making this a reality!" says Rabia Hayek, co-founder and visionary of Do As One & Omnibreath.

This year’s World Breathing Day theme, “BREATHE”, further reminds us that we all have unlimited and free access to this simple, natural, potent tool that calms our nerves, de-stresses our minds, and creates emotional stability in order for us to maximize our human potential and become not only the best we can be but also the change we want to see in the world.

On April 11th, let’s hit the pause button and BREATHE!
