LloydL Mindfulness based Breathwork Therapy^{tm -} the new name for the clinical model of Breathwork developed in Australia by Lloyd Lalande

Training dates in London 27-28 July and Cambridge University (Selwyn College) 5 – 10 August, 2013

Professional development for Breathwork Practitioners

The Mindfulness based Breathwork Therapy^tm approach was first presented to the Australian Breathwork Association Annual Conference as Integrative Breathwork Therapy in 2010 and again in 2011. In the same year it was presented to the international psychotherapy community with the publication of the research article ‘Breathwork: An Additional Treatment Option for Depression and Anxiety?’ in the peer reviewed Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy (copy of paper available here).

The name Integrative Breathwork Therapy had been used by Lloyd Lalande during the development of the approach both through clinical practice and research and emphasised the ability to cause rapid integration of mind-body experience. In 2012, as an acknowledgement of Lloyd’s on-going research and the central role that mindfulness plays in this unique approach the name was changed to Mindfulness based Breathwork Therapy^tm.

Let's take a breath together & apply one in this moment.

Breathe In-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10
Breathe Out-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10

Acidic stress is the result of chronic acid exposure, primarily from diets high in sugars, animal proteins (especially red meat & dairy products), emotional stress, physical stress (lactic acid buildup) or elimination problems.

The body goes to extreme measures to maintain an optimal pH of 7.35 - 7.45 in the blood. The most powerful system for removing acidic stress & keeping the body pH optimal is the lungs.

By adding optimal & conscious breathing techniques to your daily practice you can reduce acidic stress & increase your alkalinity & pH levels!

Our Next Step in Global Breathwork Support and Growth

We are announcing the next step of our evolution to support the expansion and advancement of breathwork as an accessible and vital healing and growth modality in the world.

Events such as the International Breathwork Tele-summit (Jan 29-Feb 1, 2012), sponsored in part by the IBTA, and the creation of an upcoming in-person Breathwork Summit at Omega Institute, demonstrate that collaboration among schools and practitioners can be done professionally on a large scale for the benefit of all parties, including the public.

As you know, the Board of the IBTA, which for the last 12 years has promoted training standards for and the ethical practice of dyadic and group breathwork, has been committed to supporting and promoting the integration of breathwork in the world as a vital, ethical, evidence based professional healing modality that facilitates physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual wellness. This will not change.

Trusting Divine Guidance: You Don't Have to Work Alone by Tilke Platteel-Deur

Tilke It is a very soothing idea indeed, the thought that the Essence of the healing work is actually not done by the caretakers, but by the healing force that is inherent in a human being's core. We as therapists merely create the circumstances for healing to take place. It is our task to not 'be in the way' so that healing can happen. This means that we have to clear our mind and spirit so that the channel within is clean. Then, and only then, Spirit can do its work.

In the New Testament Jesus says, - For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. - # I have always understood this sentence as a promise of God supporting us when people come together for the purpose of healing.
