Breathwork is big, life-changing work and it is only for those ready and willing to venture deep into the most intimate spaces of themselves— especially into one’s emotional and pain body to gracefully connect with repressed or fragmented textures of their being yearning for awareness. The journey of breath is a journey of self-love, of higher compassion and multifaceted awareness. By breathing into the unknown, we bring life and energy to that which is buried or stagnant. Through breath, we enliven the lost parts of us and return them back into wholeness.

Breathwork is an experiential practice and self-healing modality that uses conscious, connected breathing to access expanded states of consciousness while simultaneously unlocking repressed emotions and clearing stagnant energy from the mind, body and spirit. Through an intentional, safe and artful increase of oxygen levels, we activate different areas of the brain to create new neural pathways for deeper insights and heightened clarity, while meeting the sacred root of unresolved emotional imprints.

Connected breath is a powerful tool that may bring us into direct contact with parts of our being that are not being fully acknowledged or seen. It allows us to call in and call home our hidden ego aspects; bring awareness to our emotional and energetic blockages; confront our limiting and self-sabotaging beliefs; and to hold deeply, with gentleness and care, our embedded traumas and/or core wounds. Connected breath shows us where we are unknowingly armoring against the endless life-force, creativity and vitality available to us now.

It is important to understand that these repressed parts of self simply want a voice too; they yearn to be met and integrated, not unconsciously pushed down or bypassed (have compassion, we all engage this in some capacity). These can even be parts of ourselves we criticize, reject, abandon or disassociate from. Yet through the breath, we are able to deeply reclaim and integrate them— because our wholeness includes all things that exists within us. Through breath, we transmute our wounds into wisdom.

Connected breath can also help us to dismantle and dissolve self-sabotaging narratives (faulty ways of seeing) that are not in alignment with our core truth or authentic self. Through breath, we may begin to return to our essential knowing- who we always were, beneath the layers of conditioning, story and programmed response. This is the realm of our higher self. We can then reawaken and re-enliven our soul’s truth and unique personal medicine. We can reclaim and reinvigorate what lies dormant in our heart. Through the breath, we may also connect to our divine essence and rise into the fullness of who we are.

The majority of breathers first experience deep (and at times, intense) emotional release or catharsis. It is possible to feel anything from grief/pain/discomfort to ecstasy/joy/bliss and anything in between. Again, these are parts of self that are not being met in waking life (even ecstasy and bliss can be energies that are being unconsciously repressed) and thus want the freedom to be completely and uninhibitedly expressed in a safe container of expression, as we will create.

However, not everyone is ready for this kind of transformative dive, especially if they are new to inner work and self-awareness. And, as always, we honor where each person is on their path of healing and awakening. That said, please have a self-check in and make sure you are fully ready for a deep and powerful journey into your being. This also includes a willingness to meet any discomfort, hurt, grief, pain or wounding that you are unknowingly holding onto. If you feel ready to connect to these parts of self through higher awareness and compassion, please join us. If you meet the safety checklist and feel 100% ready with a full-bodied "YES!", please continue with the rest of the information needed to register. With love, honor and ethics for the craft!
