Transformational Breath®
is a type of conscious breathing technique that aims to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It was developed by Dr. Judith Kravitz and combines various elements such as conscious breathing, body mapping, sound healing, and positive affirmations. Here are some key aspects of Transformational Breath:
