Line 1: ''' '''Pulteney Grammar School''' is an [[Anglican Church of Australia\|Anglican]] [[private school]] located on South Terrace, Adelaide in [[South Australia]]. It was founded as a boys' school on Monday, [[29 May]] [[1848]]. Pulteney became fully [[coeducation]]al from the beginning of 1999 (having enrolled girls at Reception to Year 2 from 1998). == Conscious Breathwork == ''' When used in specific ways, breathing allows us to release and resolve emotions, belief systems, stresses and memories which are often inaccessible through the more conventional talking therapies. Pultney is comprised of three sub-schools located on the same campus. The Kurrajong ELC for students up to year two, Prep School for years 3-6, Middle School for years 7-9 and One Ninety (Senior School) for the final years 10-12. Pultney separated into sub-schools in 2001, and was followed by many other Anglican Private schools across [[Australia]]. As of 2006, the school has over 800 students and over 200 staff. The school is planning to demolish the current [[Gymnasium]] which will be replaced with a larger one. Breathing, beyond the basic need for survival, acts as a bridge between spirit, mind, and body; a bridge between the conscious and the subconscious. "Conscious Breathing" is one of the quickest way to open our hearts to love and inner peace, and to fill our bodies with life and health. Connecting the inhale with the exhale consciously and continuously, is one of the most effective ways of connecting us to ourselves, to each other, and all of us to Nature and existence. Conscious Breathing allows us to go into the deepest realities of life, to acknowledge our life processes, and to set the ground for personal transformation while reaching the highest states of consciousness. “Breathwork” involves the study and practice of breath awareness and conscious breathing for spirit, mind, and body. Breathworkers use the Breath and Breathing Techniques as tools for health, growth, therapy, and change. Breath Mastery can be used to enhance and accelerate human development and learning on all levels. Breathwork and Breathing Techniques are now being taught all over the world To work with the breath means to approach the psyche through the body using breath. Students that show outstanding demerits in Bunsen Burner Research Association (BBAR)are rewarded with the John Noble prize. The student to receieve this in 2006, was Josh Savis. Josh althought academically advanced is praised highly within the PGS community, commonly known as 'The Koala'. This is because Josh shares a unique stlye of play in Ping Pong, that shows immensly fast swings, serves and returns. To witness J Savis and his amazing Ping Pong talent, the public can see him play at the SAPP (South Australia Ping Pong) competition, on the 7th of July, 2006, at the Walkerville RSL. This event is highly talked off, as J Savis in the previous years has turned up huge results, winning 10 of his 10 games played. Breathwork can be experienced as an invaluable tool for growth on the spiritual path, as a method for personal healing and well-being, and as a form of psychotherapy. ~~==Notable alumni==~~ [[Lewis Fitz-Gerald]], actor [[Rhett Giles]], [[Home and Away]] actor [[Sean Williams]], [[science fiction]] writer [[Josh Francou]], player for [[Port Adelaide Magpies (SANFL)]] and [[Port Adelaide Football Club (AFL)]] Jordan McMahon, player for [[Western Bulldogs Football Club (AFL)]] [[Les Murray]], host of the SBS coverage of the 18th World Championship of Football Knowledge of breathwork is as old as human history. The first conscious breathing techniques were developed thousands of years ago. ==External links==▼ [http://www.pulteney.sa.edu.au/ Pulteney Grammar School website] All cultures throughout the world are familiar with the use of breath as a transformational tool in both shamanic and religious practices. [[Category:Schools in Adelaide]]▼ ~~[[Category:Anglican Church in Australia]]~~ ~~[[Category:Educational institutions established in 1848]]~~ When the modern breath-oriented therapies were first developed in the 1970's, they signified the beginning of a new approach and a more holistic understanding of the human psyche. Using breath awareness as a primary catalyst, we discovered a simple and natural way to access the inner world of the human psyche. Never before had it been so easy to get in touch with and heal suffering caused by unconscious conditioning, unresolved birth trauma and old emotional wounds. Never before had access to altered states of consciousness been so easily available. ~~{{Australia-school-stub}}~~ ~~{{Adelaide-stub}}~~ Released through our breath from the hold of past traumas, we are freed to pursue our lives with greater inner choice, ease and liberty. Raised by our breath into non-ordinary states, we pursue our spiritual development with greater ease and security. Over the last twenty years, Breathwork has developed rapidly. Practices such as Rebirthing, Conscious Breathing, Holotropic Breathwork, Vivation, Transformational Breathwork, Yoga, Pranayama, Tai Chi, Chi Kung and others attract increasing numbers of practitioners and teachers. Breathwork literature is growing, and every year informative Breathwork books are published in several languages. Breathwork in both its ancient and modern forms, is a simple, safe and gentle, and yet very powerful means to assisting with the release of old emotions that can result in reduced quality of life. ==References== Brown,R.P and Gerbarg,P.L "Sudarshan Kriya Yogic Breathing in the Treatment of Stress, Anxiety, and Depression: Part I Neurophysiologic Model" in The Journal of Alternative And Complementary Medcine, Vol 11, No 4, 2005, pp 189-201 Brown,R.P and Gerbarg,P.L "Sudarshan Kriya Yogic Breathing in the Treatment of Stress, Anxiety, and Depression: Part II Clinical Applications and Guidelines" in The Journal of Alternative And Complementary Medcine, Vol 11, No 4, 2005, pp 711-171 N.Janakiramaiah,B.N.Gangadhar,P.J.Naga Venkatesha Murthy,M.G.Harish,D.K.Subbakrishna,A.Vedamurthachar "Antidepressant efficacy of Sudarshan Kriya Yoga(SKY)in melancholia:a randomized comparison with electroconvulsive therapy(ECT) and imipramine", Journal of Affective Disorders, Vol 57, 2000, pp 255-259 Collinge W, Yarnold P.R., "2001,Transformational Breath Work in Medical Illness: Clinical Application and Evidence of Immunoenhancement", Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine Journal vol 12 no 2 Heyda, A., 2003a, "An Impact of Conscious Connected Breathing on Emotional States2, The Healing Breath Journal – a Journal of Breathwork Practice, Spirituality and Psychotherapy, vol.5, no 2 p. 9-18 www.healingbreathjournal.org Heyda, A., 2003b, "Application of Breathwork in Psychotherapy of Oncological Patients (Zastosowanie pracy z oddechem w psychoterapii pacjentów onkologicznych)", Reports Of Practical Oncology And Radiotherapy, vol.8, suppl.2, str 179 Heyda A,.
