Music Breathing (MB) is an adaptation of the “Guided Imagery and Music” (GIM) method. It is an advance technique designed for work with stress/anxiety disorders and trauma. Music Breathing can be applied for fostering resilience in times of increased societal stress. The emphasis is on the awareness and modulation of the breathing that is used to regulate arousal evoked by selective music listening in an altered state of consciousness.
The Music Breathing introduction presentation is suitable for all professionals from the fields of health/mental healthcare with experience and/or interest in working with resilience and emotional regulation, stress, anxiety disorders, trauma and general wellbeing.
