Energy Booster: The Power of Breathwork and Affirmations for Cellular Health

I love affirmations. I want to affirm daily what it is I desire for the day. Today’s affirmation is "Every morning I wake up full of energy and ready to face the day." But, if you're like many, you might be thinking, "Shawna, I don’t wake up full of energy every day." Believe me, I understand. You could change this affirmation to "I am in the process of waking up full of energy and ready to face the day." However, if you are going to say it, then you really need to be in the process. Let's explore one thing you could do to help you wake up full of energy and ready to face the day.

Foundational Principle
First, let's start with a foundational principle: You are made up of cells. Those cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, and organs make up systems that make YOU - YOU. If you want to be healthy, your systems need to be healthy, your organs need to be healthy, your tissues need to be healthy, and your cells need to be healthy.

ONE ACTION
So, what is one action you can take today that can create more health all the way to the cells? 

The answer: Breathwork.

Six Ways Breathwork Boosts YOUR Energy Levels

  1. Oxygenation:
    • Deep and rhythmic breathing boosts oxygen intake, crucial for cell energy production.
    • Oxygen is essential for cellular respiration, the process by which cells produce energy (ATP).
    • ATP supports cell activities like growth, repair, and signaling.

  2. Cellular Energy Production:
    • Breathwork enhances mitochondrial function, the powerhouse of the cell.
    • Mitochondria produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, providing energy for cells.
    • Better mitochondrial function means more energy for cells, keeping them healthy.

  3. Stress Reduction:
    • Certain breathwork techniques activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation.
    • Relaxation responses help reduce stress, allowing cells to move through the healing state.
    • Less stress means better cell function and resilience.

  4. pH Regulation:
    • Breathwork influences pH balance by adjusting CO2 levels.
    • Proper CO2 levels ensure optimal cellular pH, crucial for overall health.

  5. Detoxification:
    • Breathwork helps eliminate metabolic waste and toxins, supporting cellular health.
    • Deep breathing stimulates lymphatic flow, aiding waste removal.
    • Improved detoxification supports overall cellular health.

  6. Immune Function:
    • Relaxation from breathwork can boost immune function.
    • Reducing stress helps maintain immune activity, defending against infections and inflammation.
    • A stronger immune system allows cells more time to generate energy.
Breathwork 
This ONE simple action can help you have more energy. This isn’t a one-time fix; it's about incorporating daily breathwork into your routine. Start with a few minutes each day, and then increase based on how you feel. It all begins with taking the first step: an intentional deep breath in through the nose and out through the nose. Give it a try for at least 2 minutes, and then let me know how you feel. Together, let’s unlock vitality through the power of breathwork!

Every month I host a 7-Day Energy Kickstarter Challenge.

Meet Shawna Cale

 

HI! Have you ever felt like you were riding the hormonal/emotional rollercoaster and your body was betraying you? Yet, you were told you were “normal.”


Lying in a hospital bed — after my third miscarriage in a 10-year period, I decided normal was overrated. I knew something had to change — I had to change, but I didn’t know where to start.

Things got worse, all I could think about is how do I run away from my life — the God-given life that was everything I had ever dreamed of yet I felt miserable inside, and worse I felt shame and guilt for feeling the way I did. 

Have you ever been helpless, desperate, searching for answers? 

I took a leap of faith and asked for help. 

I started making some changes and before I knew it, I was traveling down a whole new road — one that was leading me to holistic health — spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

If you’re curious about the changes, I made — the ones that led me to fewer headaches, cramps, back pain, and aching joints. Just ask. Or what helped me stop yelling and screaming at the kids and the hubby? I’m happy to share it. 

Maybe you are looking to have less stress, feel better, and have more energy. I know I was. ReallyAsk me! I am an open book. Literally, I wrote a book about my personal journey from normal to exceptional.

I am here for you! I know what it feels like to be all alone — an island amid a vast ocean. Life may not be easy — but we don’t have to make it so hard. Yes, there will be roadblocks (stressors) on the way, but there are solutions. That’s my superpower- finding solutions and empowering action!

It's time to live an exceptional life.

Come join our free Exceptional Holistic Health Community FB Group and have your cup filled with tips and tools to have the energy you have always desired to have so you can do the things you love to do and be the woman God created you to be. It's FREE.
