Our emotions are here to communicate and guide us, acting as signposts that pull us inward and offer clarity. They are an integral part of the human experience, serving a purpose greater than we often realize. Your emotions are not here to overwhelm you, it’s not your fault. This is your work.
In this session, we will combine the ancient wisdom of Breathwork with the heart-opening medicine of Cacao to access the wisdom of the heart. Did you know the heart generates an electromagnetic field that extends several feet beyond the body? This field holds the power to influence not just our emotional state but the space and people around us. Together, somatically releasing layers of stored pain, creating space for clarity, connection, and deep healing.
This workshops begins with a guided meditation and sharing exercise to help participants identify what needs to shift/heal in their lives and their intentions for the session. You will then find a comfortable position lying down and be guided through the Breathwork for 35-40 minutes, all set to a cosmic soundtrack, and ending with deep relaxation. To close, we gather together in circle and share our experience, if we feel called to.
Breathwork is an active meditation technique that facilitates emotional release in supportive environment. Through full rhythmic breathing, the conscious mind softens, allowing us to tune into our body wisdom to heal current stress, past wounds, and traumas.
Breathwork has the power to change emotional default settings and lifetime patterns of depression, anxiety and addiction by feeling and clearing with the breath. This innovative therapy aims to connect you to your intuition, creativity and self-worth. Above all, this practice nourishes the heart; helping you to align with feelings of deep appreciation and self-love.
