Intro To Breathwork

This short guided practice will give you the opportunity to practice an activated breathwork practice, and see what it feels like in your body. In a full session we are able to dive deeper- creating more spaciousness within for deeper emotions to arise, but a short session like this can be very powerful with the guidance of your intention.

Setting up the Space:

Find a quiet space where you feel comfortable to make noise, release any stuck emotion, and feel safe enough to dive into your breath without the concern of others around.

• You will be laying down for the practice. It is important to note: do NOT put a pillow under your head, allow your neck to be flat on the surface below you so that your airway is open and unrestricted.

• Turn down the lights, light a candle or turn on your diffuser with some yummy essential oils if that helps your space feel cozier. You’re creating your own sanctuary/cozy den- so whatever feels best for YOU is right.

• Sometimes our hands have cramping or tightness, this is totally normal. It’s called tetany, and is temporary. It will subside after you move back into a normal breathing pattern. Holding a smooth stone or crystal in your hands can help with grounding, as well as to ease the tension in your fingers.

• An eye pillow, scarf, or other cloth over your eyes can help to anchor in your awareness to your internal landscape.

• Sometimes our bodies will get cold through this practice as well, I like to cover up with a throw blanket or have one nearby. As well as a pillow to yell into.

• Relax, bring presence to the moment, and ENJOY!
