Throughout life, as a result of difficult circumstances and situations we construct layers of physical, emotional and mental resistance, which can result in postural imbalance, tension and pain in the body, depression, anxiety, unhealthy emotional patterns and many other symptoms. Bio-dynamic Breath Work is designed to free these layers of resistance and holding patterns by giving the body and mind the opportunity to surrender, expand and release in a safe and confidential space. This space allows a deep opening within which participants true growth and healing potential can manifest and enables the development of a direct mind-body-spirit connection. This connection can allow participants to experience the full range of sensations and emotions available to a human being, whilst expanding their capacity to support and contain the free flow of healing life-force energy.
Some of the many benefits of a breath work session include:
- Inner peace and calm
- Increased energy levels
- Improved concentration
- Letting go of old patterns and ways of being
- Opening up to new possibilities
- Having a deeper connection to self
- Reduced stress, anxiety & depression
- Developing a sense of well being
- Resolving the impact of past trauma
- A new feeling of confidence and empowerment
- Improved communication skills
- Breaking addiction
- Increased creativity
- Opening up a new capacity for meditation
- An open heart
- Bringing a feeling of joy into life
- Being able to make positive changes in your life
A breath work session benefits the Respiratory, Immune, Circulatory, Nervous, Digestive, Urinary, Muscular and Structural bodily systems.
This will be a 3.5 hour Bio-Dynamic Breath Work experience. The evening will consist of an introduction and demonstration of the breath work technique, an introduction to 'Internal Family Systems'(https://www.selfleadership.org/about-internal-family-systems.html), conscious movement exercises followed by a 1 hour journey into your sacred self using deep connected breathing. This will open up the full energetic flow through the spine and release long held tension from the nervous system. The breath work will be followed by a short meditation to help integrate what happened in the session. The deepest insights come to us while the mind is quiet and we connect to our true essence, which is still and silent. Meditation also gives the nervous system a chance to calm down and rest. It is especially necessary after an intense breath work session.
After a breath work session it's also really good to get back into yourself with some grounding food. Taste buds become wide awake, and it's great to really appreciate the flavours and feed your body with nutritious food, so we will be providing a plant-based organic meal for everyone to enjoy at the end of the session.
This Bio-Dynamic Breath Work session will be based on the gentle body therapy of Wilhelm Reich, and the compelling approach of Ida Rolf and Janet Travel. The healing modality of Peter Levine, the BioEnergetics of Alexander Lowen, Richard Gordon's Quantum Touch and Giten Tonkov's Biodynamic Breath & trauma Release system.
This workshop is not suitable to anyone under the age of 18. No previous experience is necessary, but health conditions must be disclosed as an entry requirement.
The Biodynamic Breathwork Practitioners for this event will be:
