Have you ever stopped to think about the power we hold in our breath? Think about how your breath changes with everything you do. When you run…. laugh…. cry…. sing…. work…. The breath is powerful and simply by changing the breath we can bring about profound changes in our life. How is that, you may be thinking?
We typically only breathe 20% of our total lung capacity. What would happen if we breathed at even 50% of our capacity? What about 80% or 100%? Every cell in our body requires oxygen to survive. Once we remove the oxygen, we are no longer living. Our breath is the first thing we do in life and the last.
When we increase our breath, we increase our energy and enliven our spirit. Simply increasing our breath gives us the fuel we need to cope, grow and thrive. The more you breathe, the more you heal – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
What we will do:
This particular breath class is not your typical meditative, relaxing breath class. This is an active breathing class. It will wake you up and enliven your soul. All things move through FLOW. The breath is a great way to obtain FLOW in your mind-body-spirit. It allows us to release what is no longer serving us.
To begin the workshop, we will do a few writing exercises to help us get out of our head and the thinking mind. We want to let go of our ego mind. Once these are complete, we will begin the breath session.
During the first 5-10 minutes, you will start to feel a tingly or vibration sensation throughout your body. This is movement of energy, emotions, incomplete experiences, etc. We use the breath to carry these out of the body. This is a great way to release without engaging the conscious brain. During this breath session, we will be accessing the subconscious brain.
Participating in any type of breathwork is a very different experience for everyone, which is why it is very difficult to ‘explain’. It is very much a personal, experiential session every time you participate. But one thing that is for sure, you will feel completely different when you leave than you did when you came in.
Benefits:
-Physically, you dissolve cellular blocks and let go of dis-ease, numbness, stress, and strain. You will feel safer in your body.
-Mentally, you become aware of and change negative attitudes, so you can have more positive experiences and true understanding.
-Emotionally, you relax, accept, and feel safe with your feelings. You can release suppressed feelings from the past, without drama. Then, you experience an increase of love and passion.
-Spiritually, you get to meet yourself. You connect with your well-being, and clarify your sense of purpose. A feeling of peace and tranquility is achieved.
-Overall you will experience changes in the way you operate your life. You will change your ‘programming’ and become more aware.
Here are some of the physiological benefits of utilizing breath sessions:
-we release 70-80% of our toxins through our breath
-increases our pH; disease cannot survive in a well oxygenated environment with a balanced pH.
-an increase in oxygen opens us up to more energy, aliveness, and rejuvenation
-strengthening our lung capacity
-connects you with your passion and creativity
-releases subconscious material (these can also be generational)
-releases stress related symptoms and dis-ease as it increases your immune system
-aids in digestion
-better sleep
-eliminate chronic pain as we release emotions and incomplete experiences and traumas
Important information and instructions:
-It is recommended that you do not eat a few hours before class.
-Bring a thick mat and a blanket-a small pillow may be helpful.
-You may have temperature changes during your session; therefore, it is best to dress in layers.
This class is for you if you are willing to release and surrender to the power of your breath. You will be in a safe environment for your experiences to flow and for you to awaken to your power.
Are you ready to be in the driver’s seat of your life?
Cautions: This experience can be intense on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. It is not advised for persons with a history of cardiovascular disease, including high blood pressure, glaucoma; as well as those with recent physical injury or surgery. It is also not intended for those who are pregnant, have asthma, severe mental illness or seizures.
