The Mystery within the Breath

The human body is a mystery.  Very few of us understand in any detail how the body actually functions beyond very general, popularized knowledge of physiology and anatomy.

Fortunately, we are moving into a deeper understanding of the mind/body connection.  Quantum physics is teaching us that everything in the universe is a vibration and our thoughts carry certain vibrations—a certain frequency, if you will.  If our thoughts are negative, we will transmit a lower frequency of vibration into the world and by the law of attraction (as metal is attracted to a magnet) those thoughts will be returned to us in the form of outer experience.  If our thoughts are positive, we are transmitting a higher frequency of vibration and attracting experiences that create the happiness and peace of mind we most desire.

Holotropic Breathwork^TM was developed by a major world pioneer of psychedelic therapy, Stanislav Grof, MD, together with his wife Christina, as a substance-free means for discovering the healing power of human experience in non-ordinary states of consciousness. Click here to view YouTube Video

It has several other names such as Transformational Breathing and Rebirthing.  Whatever you call it, it’s powerful and it is accessed by the breath.  I use the five-stage healing process called A.R.F.R.I. (pronounced “ARE FREE”) technique. I call this Sacred Breathwork.  During a breathing session, the energy within our cells is activated. Through the five-stage healing process, thoughts that have been hidden in the subconscious mind come to the surface and are able to be transformed or healed restoring a sense of balance and joy.

Sacred Breathwork allows us to cultivate thoughts of a higher vibration that can lead towards long awaited life changes. It brings subconscious thoughts into conscious awareness.  We start to pay attention to the voice inside our heads, and with added awareness, identify which part of us is dictating these thoughts. You may say, “What do you mean which part of me?”  I mean, is it your ego (which is where fear, guilt, judgments, rationalizations, stories and such reside), or is it your heart (the source of truth where there is no fear, no need to manipulate, no need to control).  So many of us are shut down emotionally that we don’t even know we have the intuitive power to heal, to create, to manage our lives successfully. Everything you need to create a life of wholeness and fulfillment is within you. You have the capacity to create everything you desire.

Sacred Breathwork is a safe and simple way to trigger experiences of non-ordinary consciousness that open us to psychic depths and spiritual understanding. Lost memories from our personal history, experiences from our birth, archetypal and cosmic phenomena become available to us in transpersonal awareness, and help us transcend the constraints of our ordinary repetitive thoughts and habits. 

Sacred Breathwork is a rhythmic breathing process that connects us with the inner self, and our breath is the life force that connects us to the Divine.  By breathing deeply into the chest for an extended period of time, the subconscious mind is accessed (which is where the core belief systems are stored).  This breathing technique releases repressed emotions that are stored in the tissues and cells of the body and thus opens us to experience life more fully with greater freedom and peace. Each breath session is unique and different.  It allows us to become more aware of the physical and spiritual energy within us. It is completely safe and goes beyond mental understanding.

During a session there’s an increased level of energy experienced in the body, a feeling of vivid aliveness. This energy or life force has amazing healing qualities and intelligence and brings balance to the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual bodies. When all of these bodies are in alignment, a very pleasurable state of bliss is experienced. Negative thoughts that created imbalance are transformed into more positive, productive thoughts resulting in experiences of emotional freedom and ultimately create a new reality.

Sacred Breathwork is offered as a private two-hour session or as a group workshop that includes ritual, process work, and Way of Council practices.
