Mystic Breathwork, a deep dive within

Join me for a deep dive, connecting to your inner self in a completely different way to uncover buried treasures, release emotions and trauma and access wondrous and blissful states of being. I believe that the guru lies within us all and breathwork is a gateway to insight, empowering personal growth and transformation.​

This breathwork session is a powerful tool for going deep within. Through conscious breathing techniques, we can process and release emotions, access realisations and cultivate the holding of a more centered and open state.

This practice is ideal for healers, carers and those looking to improve their well being. By cultivating a deeper connection to our inner selves, breathwork brings increased clarity, resilience, creativity and a sense of energetic peacefulness

The breathwork in this session includes various techniques including nose breathing and mouth breathing to influence mental, emotional, and physical states. The carefully selected music accompanying the session further guides and drives the experience, facilitating a profound journey inward to connect to your core. Originating from multiple spiritual and pre-scientific traditions worldwide, breathwork has been integrated into modern therapeutic modalities to promote well-being.

Previous breathwork experience is advantageous but not required. The most important thing to bring is an open mind and a willingness to embrace any emotions or realizations that may arise.

What does the session include?

• Introduction: Overview of breathing techniques and a brief check-in.​
• Intention Setting & Connect to Self: Guided practice to help you set your intention for the breathwork followed by guided practice to land and connect more deeply with yourself.

What is Breathwork?

At its core breathwork is taking conscious control of your breathing to deliberately bring about a change in your physical or mental state. Depending on how you breathe you stimulate different parts of your nervous system as well as your physical state.

What are the benefits?

Engaging in regular breathwork sessions offers numerous benefits, including:​

• Reduces Stress and Anxiety: Conscious breathing techniques can decrease levels of stress and anxiety by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, as well as promoting general relaxation​.
• Improves Mental Health: Studies have shown that breathwork can be effective in enhancing overall mental health, including reducing symptoms of depression.
• Enhances Emotional Well-being: Breathwork facilitates the processing and release of suppressed emotions, leading to improved emotional balance.
• Boosts Creativity: By fostering a deeper connection to oneself, breathwork can enhance creativity and self-expression.
