Align Breathwork | Diaphragmatic Breathing with 333 Technique
This guided breathwork practice supports you in strengthening your inner alignment by working directly with your breath and nervous system. You’ll be guided through the 333 technique: inhaling for 3, exhaling for 3, and gently holding the breath for 3, while practicing full diaphragmatic breathing through the abdomen, ribs, and chest.
Diaphragmatic breathing creates space in the body, improves posture, supports vagus nerve function, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system. The gentle breath holds help build CO2 resilience, which can improve breath efficiency, nervous system flexibility, and emotional regulation.
If at any point the breath holds feel uncomfortable or create lightheadedness, simply return to your natural breath and follow along with ease.
Recommended to practice lying on your back to fully access the breath and soften into relaxation.
What to Expect:
- Diaphragmatic breathing through abdomen, ribs, and chest
- Guided 333 breath technique
- Gentle breath holds to support CO2 tolerance and resilience
- Calm, supportive pace for nervous system safety
- Space to return to natural breath as needed
Benefits of Diaphragmatic Breathing:
- Activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress
- Supports posture, spinal alignment, and rib mobility
- Improves CO2 tolerance, building breath and emotional resilience
- Regulates heart rate variability
- Enhances oxygen efficiency and circulation
- Supports vagus nerve function, aiding digestion, sleep, and emotional regulation
- Builds inner awareness and connects you to your higher self
Why This Works:
When you engage in diaphragmatic breathing, you stimulate the vagus nerve and activate your relaxation response. The 333 technique gently balances your oxygen and CO2 levels, building tolerance to carbon dioxide, a key factor in nervous system resilience and breath control. Breath holds allow the body to recalibrate, improve breath efficiency, and support emotional flexibility. Over time, this practice helps regulate the nervous system and strengthen your capacity to stay grounded and present.
