ANDAS CIRKLAR
Breathing Circle is a network of people who are committed to health and healing through breathing practice
Andas Circle, est. 2007, är ett världsomspännande initiativ för att ansluta utövare och människor som är intresserade av att gå med, eller starta, en medveten andning grupp i deras samhälle. Vi organiserar och främjar möten och workshops relaterade till andningsarbete.
Breathing Circle grupper träffas på den sista tisdagen i månaden, varje månad. Grupperna underlättas av olika utövare, på olika platser med en rad andningsformer. Vid denna tid finns det över 100 grupper i över 25 länder som träffas för månadsandan. Grupperna är inledande och arbetar ofta på donationsbasis. Kontrollera webbplatsen om hur du går med i eller startar en grupp i ditt område.
Breathing Circle är ett nätverk av människor som är engagerade i:
- Hälsa och helande genom andningspraktik
- Självläkande genom transformerande energitillstånd
- Medvetna samhällsmöten och workshops
Mest av allt, Breathing Circle människor andas med medvetenhet. Eftersom denna enkla praxis har påverkat en positiv förändring i våra liv möter vi en gång i månaden för att fira andan och introducera andra människor till detta transformerande verktyg.

CONSCIOUS BREATHING FOR TRAUMA RECOVERY (CBTR)
Free online conscious breathing education that is both simple and effective
The CBTR training has been created by Brigitte Martin Powell and Judee Gee, breath specialists and breathwork trainers based in the UK and in France. Judee and Brigitte are former Presidents of the IBF. At the time of developing this programme they were sitting on the IBF-UN working group committee which develops Conscious Breathing projects in alignment with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The CBTR programme was originally designed for refugees, migrants and victims of natural disasters as well as health care workers, staff and volunteers of relief organisations.
It has been now extended to include anyone suffering from trauma, anxiety, burnout and depression.
The goal of the CBTR programme is to provide free online conscious breathing education that is both simple and effective through:
- Giving practical instructions for developing an awareness of current breathing habits
- Teaching specific breathing exercises to recalibrate the autonomic nervous system
What is coherent breathing
Coherent Breathing and the Autonomic Nervous System
En viktig del av stressresponssystemet är det autonoma nervsystemet, som hanterar kroppens automatiska funktioner, inklusive kardiovaskulära, andnings-, matsmältnings-, hormonella, körtel- och immunsystem. Det autonoma nervsystemet har två huvudgrenar: det sympatiska nervsystemet – kampen eller flygsystemet – och det parasympatiska nervsystemet – resten och smälta eller matar och föder upp –systemet.
Helst är båda systemen skyldiga att ingripa för specifika åtgärder genom vårt dagliga liv, men på lång sikt är en balans mellan de två. En kropp som ständigt är under mental, fysisk eller känslomässig stress (sympatiskt system) utan tid att vila, integrera och fylla på (parasympatiska systemet), kommer inte att kunna fungera optimalt och kommer att drabbas av konsekvenserna.
There is one automatic function of the body that can be voluntarily controlled through our breath and that is the respiratory system! Medvetna andningstekniker ger enkel tillgång till det autonoma kommunikationsnätverket och genom att ändra våra andningsmönster skickar vi specifika meddelanden till hjärnan som har kraftfulla effekter på våra tankar, känslor och beteenden. Till exempel, när vi känner oss oroliga, bara några minuter av sammanhängande andning kan lugna vårt oroliga sinne och främja mer rationella – snarare än impulsiva – beslutsfattande.
Sammanhängande andningsövning: Andas i rytmen av 5 andetag per minut är den optimala andningsrytmen för att balansera kroppen och få tillgång till ett inre tillstånd av avkoppling som är både lugn och vilsam. Fem andetag per minut motsvarar att andas in i 6 sekunder och ut i 6 sekunder, länka andan och utandningss på ett avslappnat sätt.
Hur man tränar: Börja successivt, andas medvetet och på ett avslappnat sätt i 3 sekunder in och 3 sekunder ut, tills det känns bekvämt. Gå sedan vidare till att andas i 4 sekunder in och 4 sekunder ut och framsteg i din egen rytm upp till 6 sekunder in och 6 sekunder ut. Längre människor kanske vill andas långsammare.
Om att öva: Börja med att hitta en lugn plats där du kan vara ostört i flera minuter. Mjuka ljusförhållanden eller mörker hjälper dig att slappna av. Ha en lätt filt till hands för att vara säker på att du håller dig varm. Sitt eller ligga ner i en bekväm position och starta din praktik. När du känner dig bekväm med praxis kan du tillämpa den i ett brett spektrum av situationer (sitter, promenader …).
När du ska öva: Tre gånger om dagen i fem minuter (365) är en bra början, och om du kan tillämpa praktiken dagligen för ett par veckor, kommer du att skörda mest nytta. Även en minut av sammanhängande andning kommer att bidra till att balansera ditt nervsystem. Stephen Elliot föreslår 20 min per dag under en period av 21 dagar för att kalibrera nervsystemet och installera den sammanhängande andningsreflexen som en standard praxis.
