Radiate Within Breathwork-Release What No Longer Serves You

Donation Based Breath Work: Minimum $20 (Venmo: @Alex-Sortino-2, Cash App: $AlexSortino)

This is beginner friendly, great way to release stress and anxiety from the week. Release all of the stored emotions so you can enjoy the weekend. I am looking to establish more sober events as well. After the breathwork we will have a talking circle and discuss anything the group would like to talk about.

What is Somatic Breath work?

Through the two part breath technique we are initiating the stress response(fight, flight or freeze,fawn) in the body, but in an environment where we are actually physically safe. This allows us to tap into and access emotions, or traumas from the past that were suppressed and stored in the body, most of which can’t be accessed through traditional, cognitive speech therapy - which is what makes somatic breathwork so powerful.

Breath work is leading the field as the #1 healing modality in the world. There’s no better time to be entering into this space than right now for whatever reason is calling you to it

Common Physical Sensations:

Vibrations, tingling, some light headedness(temporary), feelings of “floating”

Cramping in the face or hands

Medical term for this is tetany, you may hear it referred to as “lobster claws” - it’s caused by the imbalance of CO2 and O2 in the body and blood which causes the blood to become more alkaline( last about 3-4 hours).

The harder you exhale the more that the hands can tighten and cramp - it’s important for the exhale to be a simple letting go of the breath and not forced in any way for this reason.
