Respiratory Health
Mental, Emotional & Energetic Causes
Holistic & Root Cause Approach
As a holistic energy practitioner, I focus on uncovering the root causes of both health and emotional challenges, taking a broader and more interconnected perspective than most conventional approaches.
The aim of this article is to provide an overview of respiratory health issues, exploring some of the hidden underlying emotional, mental, and energetic factors that may contribute to them. By bringing greater awareness to these factors, my hope is that you can begin to make more sense of your symptoms and gain insight into the areas that may require support.
This post is designed to help you approach your health holistically, with a deeper understanding of potential emotional root causes and the steps that can help address them.
Understanding Respiratory Health
Respiratory health focuses on the proper functioning of the lungs, airways, and the entire respiratory system, including oxygen exchange, lung capacity, and the body’s ability to cope with environmental stressors.
Respiratory health plays a key role in how energised, focused, and physically capable you feel. When breathing is restricted or unbalanced, it can place extra strain on the body and nervous system, affecting overall well-being.
Challenges of Poor Respiratory Health
When respiratory health is compromised, the impact is rarely just physical. Emotional well-being, energy, and daily life are often affected, creating ripple effects across routines and relationships.
Some common emotional and lifestyle impacts include:
Activity Avoidance: Limiting exercise, outdoor activities, or social events to manage symptoms can reduce overall fitness and enjoyment of life.
Hyper-Vigilance Around Breathing: Constantly monitoring breath, oxygen levels, or symptoms can increase stress and heighten anxiety.
Fatigue and Reduced Motivation: Difficulty breathing or low oxygen levels can sap energy, making daily routines, work, or hobbies harder to maintain.
Emotional Irritability or Mood Swings: Respiratory challenges can affect mental well-being, increasing anxiety, frustration, or low mood.
Social Withdrawal: Avoiding situations that might trigger breathlessness, like crowded spaces or physical activities, can lead to isolation.
Loss of Enjoyment in Activities: Activities that were once pleasurable, like walking, sports, or outings, may feel stressful or daunting due to breathing difficulties.
These experiences are normal, and struggling with them does not mean something is “wrong” with you—it often indicates that something is stuck energetically or emotionally. Facing these issues early can help prevent further impact on quality of life.
Signs and Symptoms of Poor Respiratory Health
When energy is blocked or there is tension in the respiratory system, you may notice one or more of the following:

Mental and Emotional Links to Respiratory Health
On a psychosomatic level, trapped emotions and tension within the respiratory system often reflect themes around stress, personal freedom, and the ability to express oneself fully. The lungs and airways can mirror how we cope with pressure, emotional overwhelm, or unprocessed feelings, including a sense of restriction or lack of ease in life.
Common emotional patterns may include:
Shortness of Breath or Breathlessness
Often linked to anxiety, fear, or feeling overwhelmed. When emotions are suppressed or stress is high, the body may manifest tension in the chest and lungs, making breathing feel restricted or shallow.Chest Tightness or Constriction
Can reflect emotional pressure, frustration, or a sense of being “trapped.” Psychosomatically, the body may hold stress in the chest, leading to tightness or discomfort.Shallow or Irregular Breathing
Often associated with living in a constant state of alertness or stress. The nervous system may remain in fight-or-flight mode, causing rapid, shallow breathing patterns.Asthma Flare-Ups or Sensitivity
Can reflect heightened emotional reactivity, fear, or hyper-vigilance. Psychosomatically, the lungs respond to internal tension with inflammation or heightened sensitivity.
Emotional patterns can cause trapped energy in the body, creating imbalances.
Using A.R.T (Accelerated Release Technique), we explore these emotional root causes and clear the trapped energy. Once released, the body or that area can return to a state of ease and balance.
“Results may vary. A.R.T sessions are not a substitute for medical or psychological care.”
Finding the Underlying Factors of Your Health Concerns
Like many imbalances, sexual health challenges can stem from multiple factors. Investigating holistically and looking at the individual as a whole is key to identifying the root cause. In many cases, trapped emotional and energetic blockages are at the heart of the issue, creating dis-ease and tension in the body.
No two people are the same, and health is never one-size-fits-all. Support works best when it’s shaped around your unique experiences, lifestyle, and current challenges.
As a holistic energy practitioner using A.R.T, I can help support your body, mind, and energy back into balance. My goal is to help you regain confidence, vitality, and ease in both emotional and physical well-being.
