Abstract: Using the breath as a vehicle for accessing psychological material Is a topic
rarely discussed In the counseling literature, despite the use of conscious
engagement with the breath by many spiritual traditions for the purpose of
personal transformation. This article describes 3 types of conscious breathing (circular breathing; conscious connected breathing, and fast and full
breathing) and the use of therapeutic breathwork within the counseling
process. The authors describe the many facets of the breathwork experience,
provide a case study, and address clinical considerations when
engaging in breathwork with clients.
