Somatic Breathwork & Sound Ceremony

Somatic Sound Ceremony is Christina’s signature, 2-hour ceremony that includes vocal activation, shamanic breathwork, and sound healing. Connect to your body, your spirit, and the divine with your breath as a guide. We stimulate the vagus nerve with vocal activation, which helps you tap into the part of your body that stores your emotions. Then we use your breath - your life force - to help you feel, process, and release your emotions. Finally, you receive a relaxing sound bath to help you integrate all that you’ve experienced.

Christina is a Certified Life Coach, breathwork facilitator, sound healing practitioner, and medicine guide. Since 2019, she has dedicated her life to supporting people in working through past trauma, identifying and shifting limiting beliefs, and creating their dream lives from a place of self-love. Christina is passionate about creating environments in which people feel safe to fully feel and release their emotions - a key component of nervous system regulation and holistic healing.

In this session, people are invited to physically and verbally release what is coming up for them, which sometimes includes screaming, grunting, laughing, crying, shaking, and other expressions. If these types of expressions make you feel unsafe, this may not be the event for you. Feel free to contact Christina at [email protected] you have questions or concerns.

Vocal Activation

Vocal activation involves using your own vocal chords to create wordless sounds (including singing, grunting, yelling, and other vocal expressions). Expressing in this way stimulates the vagus nerve, a major part of the nervous system known for storing trauma and emotions. Activating this part of the body is a powerful tool in somatic healing and self-expression.

Breathwork

Breathwork is a powerful practice that involves manipulating the breath in order to explore your inner landscape without judgment or expectations. Breathwork is done in a variety of ways, but at its core, its purpose is to help you connect deeply to your body, mind, and spirit.

In these sessions, I will guide you to connect your inhale and exhale in an unbroken wave of breath. This type of breath brings more oxygen into your body than you normally receive which leads you into an enlivened meditative state. Most people also experience physical sensations such as body tingling, tetany (or muscle contractions), and a somatic release of emotions.

The breathing alone does not result in emotional resolution, though it can trigger the emotions and sensations from past trauma. The breath creates a complete circuit of energy in the body which enables you to feel what is already present.

Some benefits of breathwork include:

· Inner peace and tranquility

· Emotional healing

· Greater clarity

· Profound sense of calm

· Reduction in anxiety

· A deeper or renewed sense of connection to self, others, and a higher power

· Increased self-awareness

· Relieved symptoms related to the immune system and the nervous system (relief in muscle tension, better sleep, improved breathing, improved circulation)

· Improved mood and more positive outlook

Throughout the breathwork portion, I will use shamanic tools to support you in your emotional and somatic release.

Sound Healing

Live sound is an incredibly powerful healing tool. The frequency of the vibrations of sound instruments affect brainwave cycles, neurochemistry, the autonomic nervous system, heart-rate variability, and subtle energy in the body. I will play a variety of sound healing instruments, such as the gong, crystal sound bowls (tuned to 432Hz, the frequency of the Earth), the wave drum, the rainstick, chimes, handpan, tibetan bowls, and more. The sound healing portion of the ceremony will help you integrate all that came up during the breathwork and leave you in a state of blissful calm.
