Within our Breathwork session we will begin with basic information on the breath - helping to inform you of what we will be diving into and registering your experience with Breathwork in the past.

 

From there we will jump into Breath Awareness, recognizing what your breath naturally does on its own. This helps us to understand what is going on within our Internal World and where needs the most attention.

 

From there, we will jump into simple warm-up breathing techniques and once acquainted with this, we will dive into our dominant breathing technique that we will work with during the major duration of the session. After we’ve finished up with this portion, we will dive into a debrief of what you were feeling and tuning into - a form of integrating your session.

 

Breathwork is powerful and truly transformative. It is the bridge between body and mind. Learn how to control your breath and you can control your mind, becoming a Master of Self.

Breathwork is energy work and as you begin the breath pattern, your body may start to feel like it is coming ALIVE with energy. It’s also very common at some point during the session to feel like you are being pushed up against some resistance (stuck or stagnant energy) that might show up in the form of tightness, tensions , or emotional releases. My advice? Keep breathing, you want to get that energy moving. 

 

Here are some common feelings and reactions the body can experience throughout your session:

• Temperature Fluctuations - it is normal for your body temperature to fluctuate from hot to cold as fear is being released from the body

• Body Stiffening - The body can tighten and contract in places that commonly hold blockages - the mouth and lips, the hands and arms (tetany), the legs and feet, the hips.

• Tingling - It is very common for the body to begin tingling either all over or in certain areas, depending on where energy is moving.

• Movement - during the session your body may shake, vibrate, move around. Listen to your body!

• Releases - you may feel the need to release energy through crying, laughing, screaming. All of this is a part of the energetic release.

• Muscle tightness - energy can collect in the body and create a traffic jam. The area may become knotted, tight, or sore. This usually passes within a few minutes of returning to a relaxed breath.

• Emotions - the process is about releasing the emotions that are on the surface. With the breathwork practice, we are getting under the fears and anxieties that are stuck so this may get uncomfortable. I encourage students to commit to the practice and soften the breath if things start to feel too uncomfortable.

​

You may experience some of these or you may experience none. Your experience will change from session to session and person to person. Know that all of these experiences are temporary and you can use your breath to move through them.

 

Again, the beautiful part about breathwork is if it ever becomes too uncomfortable, you can return to a relaxed breath, it doesn’t ‘ruin’ the session. 

 

I encourage my clients to let any resistance or reaction in the body during the session be an opportunity to speak to the body. Ask your heart what it is ready to release or let go of or offer it sweet words of reassurance as it moves the energy through the body.
