The Breath Of Life - A Breathwork Ceremony

About the session

Breathing is the first thing we do when we are born and the last thing we do on the way out. How we breathe in the middle can deeply shape our experience of life 👣
In this ceremony, we'll connect with our inherent source of of HEALTH, VITALITY, and POWER on the path towards WHOLENESS.
Through the power of the breath, we'll learn to express more of ourselves with TRUTH, COURAGE, and AUTHENTICITY, in an act of self-actualisation and LIBERATION, for ourselves and all of our relationships.

In the Breath of Life ceremony, we shall practise:

• LETTING BE - this is a practice of embodied awareness, being with, ‘waking down’ to our feelings and body sensations.

• LETTING GO - this is a practice of releasing and transforming what no longer serves our highest good.

• LETTING IN - this is a practice of consciously replacing the old with new inspiration and commitments for the future.

The breath is going to be our medium and companion as we enter into a dialogue with the inner self. There will be an introduction followed by a gentle movement practice to fully land into the body. We will then practise a conscious connected breath from a lying down position. We'll be breathing with awareness and in a continuous way, each inhale flowing into the exhale, and each exhale flowing into the inhale, just like the continuos cycling of life. There will be time for grounding, sharing and integration at the end.

Please note that breathwork shows what is already within you. I see this as an act of courage and devotion to oneself and humanity, and as such, an inspiring and liberating experience.

No previous experience required.

Best not to be on a very full stomach but not on a very empty stomach either.

I request that all participants agree to honour confidentiality.

DOORS WILL OPEN AT 6:50 PM AND THE CEREMONY WILL START AT 7 PM WE SHALL FINISH BY 9 PM.

What is breathwork

In various ancient languages, the same word used for breath - for example prana in Sanskrit and pneuma in Greek - was also used for life force, energy, vital principle, spirit, soul. In breathwork, we use our breath as the door to the body and the spirit, to better health, vitality, creativity, and purpose. If we can change how we breathe, we can change how we feel and how we live! How often do you forget to breathe and/or breathe fast and shallow? With conscious breathing we remember what it’s like to breathe fully and deeply, re-training the body in something that is innate to all human beings.

Breathwork can help increase energy levels or calm the nervous system, it can support good digestion and detoxing, reduce tension and pain, improve focus, concentration and creativity, as well as cultivate a greater sense of clarity and purpose in life.

Physiologically, the breath is fascinating in that it is typically involuntary (normally controlled by the autonomic nervous system) but can also be consciously controlled and regulated. With this comes an opportunity to get into a relationship with our unconscious responses and influence our own nature and patterning on a very primal level. If we can bring the conscious and unconscious psyche together - the known and the unknown into a state of integration - this will nourish and amplify our conscious life, turning us into more whole, less fragmented beings = breathwork helps befriend our tender parts and reclaim any lost parts into WHOLENESS 🌾AUTHENTICITY 💕 and LOVE🌈
