The world is in a state of transformation and growth on so many levels at the same time and to meet the needs of such transformation throughout humanity, we need powerful tools that bring about ease and harmony in times of upheaval and seeming uncertainty. So many people all over the world are seeking a path to peace and we are glad to announce that the World Breathing Day offers a very specific and available one. 

BREATHE PEACE
In a world still taking part in war, how can humans create peace and resolve conflict from where they stand and breathe?

On April 11th, take part in a global celebration of the practice of conscious breathing and the power of breathing together. Take this moment as you receive this news to ponder that conscious breathing is a very local medicine and unifying power that is available to everyone no matter what their race, religion, social status or how many followers they have on social media.

The International Breathwork Foundation and its global community of breathworkers and beacons of light in the peace and wellness communities all over the globe would like to remind humans of all ages once per year, on World Breathing Day, of the powerful medicine that is conscious breathing and the power of us breathing together to unite.

For a quarter of a century, the International Breathwork Foundation (IBF) has been representing and working with breathing experts and gathering expertise and knowledge on the arts, science, history, and practices of conscious breathing. IBF programs and activities improve the lives and well-being of people of all ages and backgrounds.

One of the global projects from within the IBF that is seeking to breathe peace into classrooms all over the world is Conscious Breathing in the Classroom (CBC). IBF professional member and breathworker of many years, Joann Lowell, and her team of highly esteemed breathworkers, have been training teachers with a particular curriculum around the world. She will be presenting how teachers can get involved and learn the CBC curriculum and affect children for many years to come, on our official Zoom on World Breathing Day. 

At first glance, you might think it as an abstract concept, but is it? We are simply inviting you to celebrate your ability to breathe consciously to bring about peace and to cultivate it from within. Once we cultivate peace from within for ourselves, we can choose to share that peace in all the ways we humans do. We can also care for the peace of our fellow humans in the act of breathing together consciously and in the act of wanting them to know how to find it. In all of these ways we breathe peace.

World Breathing Day is a day when we come together in one global collective breath to teach, learn, share, celebrate, meditate, dance, be creative, inspire, and be inspired by the community of breath around the world.

Consciously breathing together has a power to unite us beyond all of the separating lines that have been drawn in our society. We have seen the race, religious and culture wars going on and the ways that our differences have created fear and separation.

Visionary of DoAsOne.org and World Breathing Day co-creator Rabie Hayek shares,

“Amidst the war in Russia/Ukraine and the various warring societies such as Israel/Palestine and the zones of hunger and strife in our world, humans must have a way and a place to create peace and to become peace so that we may breathe peace. When we breathe peace, we become the place where peace exists.”

Therefore, the perfect place to meet to create peace isn’t peace talks which we have often seen play out in struggles between warring countries and governments. It is using this silent power of breathing peacefully together by choice as participants of one world and caring that our neighbors are breathing peacefully.

As a global family, we are returning to life after an attack on our respiratory/breathing systems with the pandemic and all that came with it. Many people have finally returned to creating fantastic, robust health regimens and leaders in personal development have recently taken notice of one thing, more than seemingly any other in the realm of human development:
