Register Today“Breath is the key to ultimate emancipation.” – Hatha Yoga Pradipika
Breath is the only function of the Autonomic Nervous System that can be consciously controlled, and is one of the most powerful tools available to support emotional, psychological, and physical well-being. Through breath we have the choice of empowerment and a deeply connected experience of life and well-being.
Without conscious awareness and management, the breath naturally responds to one’s experience in the world. In states of fear, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and stress, we often hold and restrict the breath. When we feel safe, connected, and relaxed, the breath is deep and free flowing, and the body relaxed. Over a lifetime of stress, trauma, heartbreak, and having our open receptiveness aggressed upon, most adults have developed patterns of tension that lock energy in the body. The result is experiences of anxiety, confusion, exhaustion, self-doubt, depression, insomnia, and a myriad of physical ailments. The breath also develops habits of tension, shallowness and restriction, which in turn affects our daily lives and spiritual connection in limiting ways.
By engaging a conscious, active breathing practice, we can begin to unwind these deeply held patterns and liberate our life force energy. In doing so, we reconnect to our innate vitality, clarity, creativity, presence, and capacity to meet the experiences of life with greater peace, ease, and empowerment.
“There is one way of breathing that is shameful and constricted. Then, there’s another way: a breath of love that takes you all the way to infinity.” -Rumi
Beyond its powerful influence on emotional, psychological, and physical well-being, conscious breathwork can take one beyond identification with the mind/ego, into the essential ground of being. This type of direct, “spiritual” experience can totally shift one’s orientation to life, and to the nature of reality itself.
In this workshop, you will be guided in an experiential journey of relaxing and unwinding tension in the body through a breathwork journey to liberate vital energy and open the doors of perception and connection. This will be an intimately and sacredly held container to support your deepest experience, and you will receive individual healing support throughout the journey. This experience is limited to 15 participants, and only 5 spaces remain. Register today to reserve your space for this session.
WORKSHOP FORMAT:
Session begins with an opening circle, followed by an introduction to the Breath of Love technique. The Breath of Love journey itself lasts approximately 90-minutes and includes sound healing. You will be laying down for the session. There will be time at the end for integration and sharing (as desired).
WHAT TO BRING:
Breathwork is of value to anyone interested in personal growth and self-realization, and no prior experience is required. As this process can be physically and emotionally activating, discretionary caution is suggested for those who are pregnant, have severe hypertension or cardiovascular disease, epilepsy, bipolar disorders or schizophrenia, or recent major surgeries and/or communicable diseases.
