After exploring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2025\/03\/the-essence-of-well-being-through-aromatherapy\/\">essential oils with Peter Pinville<\/a> and diving into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2025\/04\/beyond-words-exploring-the-world-of-animal-communication-with-shaina-lebeau\/\">animal communication with Sha\u00efna Lebeau<\/a>, we continue with this third installment that introduces us to breathwork, an ancestral practice reinvented for modern times.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We don&#8217;t know how to turn off<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-la-respiration-notre-premiere-connexion-a-la-vie\">Breathing, our first connection to life<\/h2>\n\n<p>&#8220;The minute that we come into this Earth, the very first thing we do is breathe. It&#8217;s our very first thing that we know that is a part of who we are,&#8221; explains Rhonda Hudson, Life Balance Coach and President of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2023\/12\/kate-powers-foundation-continuing-kates-fight-for-the-monegasque-community\/\">the Kate Powers Foundation<\/a> based in Monaco. This simple truth conceals a considerable therapeutic potential that most of us neglect.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;What breathwork does from a physiological point of view is it starts to open and expand the body and actually start to communicate with the cells in a different way. It allows you to get out of your survival mode,&#8221; she continues. Our body functions according to two distinct nervous systems: the parasympathetic, associated with relaxation, and the sympathetic, linked to our survival instinct. &#8220;A majority of us are there. We&#8217;re in this survival mode all the time. Why? Because we don&#8217;t know how to rest. We don&#8217;t know how to turn off.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DHqfqYqCrIx\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Some people say 60,000. It depends on who you&#8217;re reading and what scientists you&#8217;re learning from. But generally, if I asked you how many thoughts that you remembered from the time that you got up this morning&#8230; You give me 5 or 10, right? Where are those other thoughts going?&#8221; Hudson questions. These unprocessed thoughts and emotions accumulate in our subconscious, often influencing our lives without our awareness.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;Breathwork allows you to access your subconscious and play it out, get it out of the matter, and move it through your body so it&#8217;s starting to move stagnation,&#8221; she explains. This stagnation can take various forms: repressed anger, persistent sadness, or unresolved grief.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>You shift about 32 hours of psychotherapy in a two to three-hour breathwork session<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-une-seance-de-transformation\">A session of transformation<\/h2>\n\n<p>A typical breathwork session lasts about two hours. &#8220;We just start with easy breathing techniques, letting the person relax, getting into talking about any potential fears that they might have about breathing,&#8221; details Hudson. Establishing a climate of trust is essential.<\/p>\n\n<p>During the session, the body can manifest intense physical reactions. &#8220;Your arms get really, really tight, the hands start to curl. Your whole body might move into a totally different space than when you started,&#8221; she notes. These manifestations testify to the release of accumulated emotions and tensions.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;You shift about 32 hours of psychotherapy in a two to three-hour breathwork session,&#8221; asserts Hudson, emphasizing the remarkable effectiveness of this approach. And to feel a difference? &#8220;One. One? Yeah. I think even a 30-minute breathwork session, you&#8217;re going to feel a difference.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DGlE7hSiiHd\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

explains Hudson.<\/p>\n\n<p>In Monaco, she observes that people are often more reserved with their emotions. &#8220;Monaco is a very private place. So people are more guarded with their emotions, their feelings.&#8221; That&#8217;s why many prefer to start with private sessions before joining group sessions.<\/p>\n\n<p>Although the majority of participants are women (about 80%), Hudson notices a growing interest among men, particularly entrepreneurs who &#8220;do not have a work-life-home balance&#8221; and are looking for ways to manage their stress.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-une-pratique-accessible-mais-encadree\">An accessible practice but with guidance<\/h2>\n\n<p>For those who wish to explore breathwork at home, Hudson recommends starting in a sitting position rather than lying down and practicing simple circular breathing. &#8220;You can do an inhale and an exhale out through the mouth, or you can inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth,&#8221; she suggests, advising to set an alarm to limit the duration of the experience.<\/p>\n\n<p>However, she insists on the importance of being accompanied by a qualified practitioner for deeper sessions, comparing it to psychotherapy or the use of psychedelics \u2013 practices one would not undertake alone. &#8220;That&#8217;s like saying, is it good to do psychedelics on your own? Do you do just general talk therapy, psychotherapy? Do you do it on your own?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<p><em>To learn more about breathwork or discover the sessions offered by Rhonda Hudson, you
