Fall Equinox Breathwork for Letting Go with Krista Reid

  • Centretown Studio 359 Bank Street Ottawa, ON, K2P 1X9 Canada (map)

"The Autumn Equinox marks the transition from Summer to Fall when the amount of light in our day changes. Animals and everything in the natural world take their cue and begin to prepare for a long winter sleep. During this time, we are invited to ignite the light within to help illuminate our way through longer nights."

As the natural world around us prepares to let go, the invitation for us to release what is no longer in alignment, is supported too.

We will be using an active Breathwork meditation technique to help facilitate physical, emotional, mental, release in a supportive group environment. Through full rhythmic breathing, the conscious mind can relax (let go), allowing us to tune into our subconscious programming and intuitive wisdom to help heal stress and traumas that have made a home in our bodies.

Scientific studies tracking the effects on modalities such as conscious connected Breathwork, show great potential to treat highly prevalent mental health disorders like depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Altered states of consciousness that may be evoked by breathwork were comparable to those produced by psychedelics, and their depth predicted psychological and physiological follow-on effects, including improved well-being and a reduction of depressive symptoms’.

Group Breathwork is for you if:
- You have tried many other healing modalities (passive healing) to help ease pain and suffering and find they are only temporary relief;
- You are ready to deepen your relationship to self and take responsibility for your wellbeing and practice with a self-healing technique;
- You don’t need a high-level of support and want to connect with like minded community;
- You want to become more aware on how patterns of anxiety, chronic pain, depression, addictions are here to help guide you into the spaces in yourself that are wanting to be seen and loved;
- You are willing to show up for yourself and do the work it takes to liberate yourself from codependent toxic behaviors and relationships that lead to more suffering.
