Breathwork Unveiled: Transformative Insights from Leading Experts – Tilke Platteel-Deur

Happy to let you know that Mystic Mag has published the article today “Breathwork Unveiled: Transformative Insights from Leading Experts”

Coherent Breathing for Long-term Mental Health

Breathwork, an age-old practice rooted in ancient traditions, has gained significant traction as a transformative tool for modern well-being and personal growth. By consciously controlling our breath, we can tap into an array of benefits that span from emotional stability to stress reduction […]

Tilke Platteel-Deur, author of The Art of Integrative Therapy and co-lead of the Institute for Integrative Breathwork Therapy shares how a regular breathwork practice can contribute to long-term mental health improvement for those dealing with chronic stress and anxiety:

“The autonomic nervous system has two main components: the sympathetic system, fight or flight, and the parasympathetic nervous system, rest and digest or feed and breed.  When confronted with an immediate dangerous situation, the systematic system in the body functions automatically to protect us against acute peril. Once the perceived threat has passed, the parasympathetic system calms us down again. We go back to a healthy balance between the two systems. more…

Discover Your True Inner Being with Tilke Platteel-Deur

We cannot allow ourselves the luxury of lying back, believing that our personal development is finished. We have to be completely dedicated to our further inner growth. I have to be completely present in the here and now.

The Heart of the Matter

Tilke Platteel-Deur

It’s the first day of a 2-day Intensive. Since some years now, I have been offering small two day group work sessions, in my own house, for 2 or 3 people.
Doing intensive work in a small group, being present, and observing all the sessions during our time together, is truly deepening, and satisfying for all of us. I especially love these intensive days, where I give each participant a session, in the presence of the others.

Two women have come, of whom I know Elsa very well. She is a breathwork therapist and trainer. The other woman Melanie, I don’t know at all. However, Integrative Breathwork and connected breathing comes as easily for Melanie, she is in her second year of a Breathwork training.
After our first longer breathing meditation together, to get clear about personal goals, I decide
to start the work with Melanie. She wants to reconnect with the feeling of being whole again.

Those nasty little judgments

How judgements remove us from who we truly are

by Tilke Platteel-Deur

The older I get, the more I breathe, the longer I do the work, the more I am finally beginning to understand; how small seemingly unimportant judgments are clouding our consciousness.
How poisonous they are.
How they create ever more distance from who we really are, a distance that has been formed
while growing up.

Growing up
The Emotional

As a new-born baby we are emotionally feeling beings. We are born innocent.

What is the burning issue?

In every session I give or receive, it is always the same question:
‘What is the burning issue?’

An issue or an upset, which came up as a more or less disturbing moment in daily life is brought into the session. But as we begin to look into it, deeper layers of inner discomfort become visible.
However, we are never upset for the reason we think. We need to understand, that what we think to be the reason for our upset, mostly lies under the surface, deeply hidden in our early years.

Getting Grounded & restoring Inner Balance

by Tilke Platteel-Deur

Nature shows us how our connection to the Divine Mother Earth must always come first.
When you put a seed in the ground, what happens?
First, it grows a root to anchor itself into the earth. Only then, it begins to grow taller, forming leaves and reaching up into the light.

We, as human beings, need to be grounded first to feel safe in our body, to anchor ourselves in our foundation, which is our pelvis. It is the largest bone structure in the body. If we relax into it, it feels similar to sitting in a comfortable armchair. It’s meant to be cozy and nice in there.

Conscious Connected Breath

Using the in-breath we take in energy. Breathing into the nose, pulling the energy behind the forehead and up through our thoughts, reaching into the sky.
The out-breath only seems to be about letting out air.

Silent Joy

Merging Female and Male Energy

Tilke Platteel-Deur

Breath – especially the Connected Breath – is like an Emperors way into the different aspects of our Being.

Using visualisation as well as a very precise and fine connected breath, we are able to consciously merge our masculine and feminine energy.

In this workshop I will demonstrate and teach the essential elements that can create a state of peaceful joy, deep within ourselves.
A workshop for people, well experienced in conscious connected breathing and feeling safe with their sexual energy.

A quick fix or deep growth

Why deep growth needs commitment and time

Many people ask themselves why the world has become so different from the world they knew, why they can’t figure out, why they often feel confused and not content and peaceful. One of the causes is that men as well as woman do not really live in the present moment anymore, and therefore have forgotten the art of slowness. They live to survive. They live their male energy, running, thinking, acting and Continue Reading →

Cold Water Breathwork

The basic rule is that clients should move into the water, inch by inch, waiting each time until the part of the body that is immersed in the water feels comfortable. Only then, do they move further into the water. The principle of seeking the point where we feel comfortable and pleasurable in our bodies Continue Reading →

Inner Qualities of a Professional Breathworker

After I finished High School, in 1956, I went to the ‘Rotterdamse Dans Academie’. Modern Dance was what I loved most. I took exams in it and I taught it. All movements in this type of dance, which is Martha Graham style, are built on breathing. This technique uses the inhale to stretch the body and the exhale to contract the body and the movement evolves out of the exhale. This technique helped me enormously to get a deeper contact with my body, my feelings and with life itself.

The Psychology of Selves

Consciousness is both the experience and the awareness of the different energies we experience in life. Out of experience and awareness, an aware ego emerges. This aware ego is not something static but is continuously in the process of becoming more and more aware.
