The Ceremony is available to you in the comfort of your own home and there will be music to support the breathwork. Please have a clear space free of distractions and a speaker or pair of headphones for a fully immersive experience.
You will be supported to let go of anything that’s ready to be released and bring in fresh life force energy to inspire and empower your life.
It is recommended to give yourself at least an hour after the session to journal, write notes, rest, and fully integrate. If you can not give yourself this time and need to rush back into the world of doing it is advised that you do not attend.
About the techniques we will be using:
This way of working is called Embodied Breathwork as it combines Embodiment and Breathwork in a unique way that means you can go deep in a safe and grounded way.
The primary breathwork technique we will be using is called conscious connected breathing from Rebirthing Breathwork. It is the same core technique used in all transformational healing breathwork modalities and although many breathwork practices can be done alone it is strongly advised that this technique is practiced with support in the beginning as it can bring up a lot of emotions and energy stored in the body. It is a simple yet powerful way to move out of the linear mind, release limiting beliefs and emotions, and free up the life force energy that was being used to hold them in place.
The embodiment practices used are a blend of Movement Medicine, Mindfulness, Yoga Nidra, and Shamanic practices. This way of working builds a powerful bridge between your breath, your body, and your awareness, which as well as being fundamental to the process is also useful in daily life. Building this bridge between these deep inner experiences and your daily life, where you spend most of your time, is the core intention of the practice so that it is genuinely useful and not just a one-off experience.
The fundamental premise of this work is that you have access to a vast wisdom that is the intelligence of life itself. The practices we will be using are to support you to connect with that innate intelligence within, reconnecting to your soul nature as part of nature. This is immensely healing, aligning, and empowering, and is the intention embedded in this Ceremony and all my offerings.
There are the 3 core principles that are the foundation of the practice:
RESOURCE:
Bring awareness into your body and connect to the innate healing capacity within you that knows exactly what's ready to heal.
RELEASE:
Anything that limits you and is ready to move from the mental, physical, energetic, and emotional levels of your being.
RENEW:
Your connection to potent life force energy, insight, creativity, and power that is available to you in every moment, in every breath.
Flow of the Ceremony:
We begin with an opening circle where you will be introduced to the techniques and we will then move into the Embodied Breathwork. The techniques are simple yet profound and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions to make sure you are clear on how to use them.
The conscious connected breathing is then done sitting or lying down and you are supported verbally, physically, and energetically, as well as with music. You are guided through the process and encouraged to move, shake, sound, and allow anything to be released that is no longer serving you. This then opens the possibility for healing, transformation, and insights to arise. It is also an opportunity to send prayers and good energy to others and the world.
During the Ceremony, you will naturally connect to the innate wisdom within as the different parts of the brain light up the familiar linear frontal cortex becomes less active. To benefit most from the experience you will be encouraged to let go of all thoughts, feelings, emotions, and sensations, and give them back to this inner intelligence through the breath and body.
The final and most important part of the experience is the integration. This is where your system is allowed to settle and any spaces that have been created from anything that’s been released can be filled with clear, fresh, life-force energy to nourish and renew you from the inside out.
To complete there will be a brief sharing circle to gather everyone back together and reconnect with words before closing the session.
