The Art of Sequencing in Breathwork
In our in-person breathwork sessions, we've witnessed the incredible power of conscious connected breathing to facilitate deep healing and transformation. These three-hour journeys are carefully crafted to create a safe and sacred container for exploration and growth. Recently, a participant inquired about the allocation of time in our sessions, specifically wondering about the "other two hours" beyond the dedicated breathwork practice. Oh right, rookie mistake! While we intuitively understand the importance of a well-structured and thoughtfully framed session, we might not have explicitly conveyed its significance to our community.
The Power of Touch in Breathwork
Breathwork has this amazing power to heal and help us discover ourselves. And sometimes, a simple touch can make that experience even deeper, bringing comfort and connection. As a facilitator, I've witnessed the magic of touch, but I also know how important it is to get clear consent first. It's something I've learned the hard way.
For a long time, I was too afraid to say "no" to touch, even when it didn't feel right. It took me years to realize that my boundaries mattered. I still remember a yoga class where I was adjusted in Savasana without my permission. It left me feeling violated and I never went back.
10 Powerful Breathwork Rituals to Enhance Your Practice
Establishing a ritual around your breathwork practice offers numerous psychological and physiological benefits. Rituals serve as powerful signals to your mind and body, triggering a transition from everyday stress and distractions to a state of calm and focused awareness. By consistently performing specific actions or sequences before your breathwork, you create a conditioned response in your nervous system. This Pavlovian effect can help you more quickly enter a relaxed state, making your practice more efficient and effective.

As Halloween approaches, the air begins to buzz with a sense of mystery and transformation. It’s a time when the veil between the seen and unseen feels thinner, inviting us to explore the depths of our inner world. Halloween is traditionally associated with themes of reflection, change, and the mystical—a perfect backdrop for practices that encourage self-discovery and spiritual growth.
Breaking the Ice
Breaking the ice is an ice breaker for activity. You will notice the shock on the body here with the volume of my breathing being very noticeable. I tried to revert early to nasal breathing.
But why bother of you're comfortable in breathing through your mouth? Well here are a few facts to mull over.
5 Ways a Breathwork Retreat Can Boost Your Mental Health
Deepen Your Connection to Yourself
A breathwork retreat provides an opportunity to step away from the demands of daily life and reconnect with yourself. Through guided breathwork sessions, you'll explore your inner landscape, gaining clarity and insight into your emotions, thoughts, and patterns. This deeper self-awareness can help you address unresolved issues, foster self-compassion, and create a stronger, more authentic relationship with yourself.
Breathwork and Menopause
Menopause is no longer a taboo subject. Women are done suffering in silence and are taking charge of their well-being during this transformative phase of life. From herbal remedies to hormone replacement therapy, we're embracing a whole range of options to navigate the challenges and celebrate the opportunities that menopause brings.
Soul Retrieval Through Breathwork
In the tapestry of our lives, there are threads that sometimes become frayed, disconnected, or even lost. These threads represent parts of ourselves – our essence, our vitality, our wholeness. In the language of many healing traditions, this fragmentation is often referred to as "soul loss," and it can occur as a result of trauma, emotional wounds, or challenging life experiences.
These lost parts of ourselves, sometimes called "orphaned parts" or "exiled selves," can carry a heavy burden of pain, fear, or shame. They may manifest as limiting beliefs, self-sabotaging patterns, or a sense of disconnection from our true selves. While we may not consciously remember the events that led to their separation, these orphaned parts continue to influence our lives, often in subtle and unconscious ways.
