What is breathwork?

There are lots of types of breathwork, but the one I am referring to is a breathing pattern that is two breaths in and one out, through the mouth and laying flat on your back. As you repeat this pattern, you flood your body with oxygen and it gets you into a bit of an altered state. We swall and stuff paintful emotions, anger, and all kinds of things we can’t deal with in our lives. This somatic work helps you pull what is in your body and in your energy and release it.

The practice gives your brain a period of time to turn off and let go. Your nervous system resets. Your stuck or stuffed stuff can come forward.

It's really helpful to have a facilitator to help support you as you learn to keep the breath going and to keep the space clear and supported for any thing that happens.

The setting for my in person groups: lights are low, eye masks are encouraged, music is played, aromatherapy is employed and all of these elements keep whatever happens for you private as well as support you settling deeply into your own energy. It’s a sensual, transportive experience, time moves differently and you will feel like you went on a mini retreat!

Some reactions or ways you may feel during or immediately after breathwork: 

  • You may experience emotional release,

  • You may feel like you are in a dream state,

  • You may laugh or cry,

  • You may feel tingling in your hands or around your mouth,

  • You may feel deeply relaxed and could even fall asleep,

  • You may have very clear instructions about what you/your life need…

The clarity created through this practice is life-changing.

when I know i need a breathwork session…

I use this practice at various times such as...: 

  • when I feel stuck and can't clear my head, 

  • when I need to ritually mark a new beginning or ending,

  • when I am emotional and can't quite get over what ever has me feeling down or triggered, 

  • when I'm emotional but don't know why, 

  • when I am trying to make a decision but can't quite tell what my intuition is saying,

  • when I want to gain vision for my life, when I want to expand what I think is possible and increase my faith,

  • when I am manifesting something new (love, money, opportunity),

  • when I am needing mental clarity to do creative work, or am seeking fresh inspiration…
