From Breath to Love - Conscious Breathing Bournemouth

03/10/2023

Few memories from our amazing Breathe Festival!! 😍❤️❤️❤️🥰

15/08/2023

Summer is busy with delivering breathwork at festivals.

I've just came back from extraordinary Boomtown Festival where we looked after Ancien Futures venue, a sanctuary between the chaos and delivered Breath and Bass session at Hidden Woods stage. It was an amazing experience to see the curiosity and hunger for inner connection in those beautiful young people!! So many of them tried breathwork for the first time!!

Now it's time to prepare for our Breathe A Festival of Life, where we have 4 days dedicated entirly to breathwork. This is my baby, which I co-founded and help to organise every year. It's our 5th year of going and the excitement is the same as in the first year!!

Sharing breathwork with people is what I was born to do! The connection it opened up, the change it brought into my life is incredible. I see my life as before and after I discovered Rebirthing and there is so much more to come!

In September we are restarting group sessions in Bournemouth, and from next week I'm available for private sessions. Get in touch if you would like to experience some of that energy!! ❤🌬🌟🔥⚡

And breathe with it and through it!

TRAUMA: THROUGH THE PAIN, TO THE GLORY

Trauma is stuck life energy. Creative, natural, playful life energy that was not allowed to flow when it first emerged and it tried to flow. It wasn’t safe to let it flow and you didn’t know how. And so it got stuck in your body. It’s not your fault, dear one.

The words you wanted to scream. The ways in which you wanted to move your body. The healthy human feelings you intelligently squished in order to protect yourself, get love, be “okay”, stay alive. The truth you needed to express, but couldn’t.

But it’s a new day, and anything stuck in you yesterday can be given permission to move again today. This will take courage, the willingness to feel old pain and breathe through it, to trust the body now instead of giving in to the mind and its fears. To tell the truth. To come out of hiding and let yourself be seen.

In the safety of your own presence, or in the safe presence of another who can hold you and trust your process, can you turn towards the sore place, the tight place, the dark place, the aching place, and bring to it the light of your awareness, the light of love?

Life only wants to play in you, dance, tremble, vibrate, surge and move through to completion. The rage, the terror, the impulses and urges and desires you learned were ‘sick’ or ‘dangerous’ or ‘wrong’ or ‘shameful’ were always natural, and normal, and healthy, and they won’t damage you as you turn towards them now and give them the love and attention and safe passage they always deserved.

You don’t have to act them out. Just feel them, shine light on them, bow to them. And allow, allow, allow. Moment by moment.

Be a vast Heart now, a loving curious welcoming Heart, and trust this intelligent storm of feeling as it emerges, roars and passes in its own time.

Your wounds, your turbulent and sorrowful places, your traumas, are not mistakes; they are the sacred places in you desperately yearning for love, waiting to be penetrated by your curious Light.

So scream, shake, tremble, weep, vomit, make a holy mess - you are a warrior and you are alive and you are healing and learning to play.

Through the pain, to the glory!

And behold:
The place in you that was never traumatised.
Your innocent Heart.
Your indestructible
Self.

- Jeff Foster

5-DAY LIBERATION BREATHING INTENSIVE in GUILDFORD, UK with Sondra Ray & Markus Ray

Still time to join Sondra Ray, the Mother of Rebirthing Breathwork in this amazing training that can help you to liberate yourself from your limiting, negative patterns. This is a 5 days journey into yourself, during which you will be able to unleash Your Power Within using your Breath and a loving energy of this powerful Teacher.
This training is great for everyone who is on a quest for the new loving relationships, who wants more joy, peace and balance, who wants to learn how to use the power of their own breath to bring transformation into their lives and lives of others.
It is a great opportunity to go deeper into your breathwork practice and can be a part of your Continuing Professional Development if you are an existing breathworker. It is also amazing if you would like to start your training as a practitioner and learn how to hold the space for others.

Sondra is an amazing teacher, who brings a beautiful energy of Divine Mother to her work as well as helps us to process and unravel the subconscious mind, which is such an important part of Rebirthing Breathwork.

The change of the season is bringing us a great opportunity to look inside and remove obstacles to create the life we want. Join us this October to experience a life changing Liberation Breathing Intensive I, for inner awakening and evolution.
There are only few spaces left for this training, so please contact me if you need any more information or would like to book.

A nice article describing what is breathwork and few different modalities of this amazing tool. https://www.goodtherapy.org/learn-about-therapy/types/breathwork?fbclid=iwar19hrtxej98c7yq8czp6d90uh5hcswoaeqcah6w7erriy8-hhzkpvh1_by

Breathwork, a type of therapy that uses breathing exercises to improve well-being, has expanded since its development in the 60s and is still practiced today.

Altered states of consciousness induced through Rebirthing

This is the whole point of Rebirthing Breathwork! The powerful connected breath blasting the still body with oxygen and breathing out extra carbon dioxide changes the state of the person doing the full conscious connected breath for 40 minutes to an hour.

25 years ago most of the Rebirthing community were not that interested in the science - it just worked and we were happy, but these days people are looking for scientific explanations. I have only touched the surface of this, but deep breathing alkalises your body by removing more carbon dioxide than regular breathing. CO2 is very acidic, and so removing more of it has an alkalising effect. This in turn has a knock on effect to the hormones -adrenalin is spiked and cortisol is quietened. This I believe is the physical reason for the change in state.

For me this is less interesting than what people feel on an emotional and spiritual level. After about ten minutes the deep connected breath starts to bypass the mind, time somehow gets lost and veils to the subconscious and spiritual dimensions can start coming down. The X factor comes into this and for me this is the extraordinary side to this work. I have seen again and again people having their first truly spiritual experience.

When our mind is bypassed we can start to dissolve the illusion of separation. It can be like stepping in to a parallel universe. Not everyone gets the breath or feels safe enough the first couple of times, but the majority of people experience this opening on the first session. It is a process that accumulates over several sessions.

Yes! I was waiting for thise studies for a while! That's great it if finaly happening. The Holotropic Breathing might be slightly different in technical details than Rebirthing Breathwork but both use the healing power of the conscious connected breath and effects are similar or the same.

British Rebirth Society

British Rebirth Society

“Physiological explanation of Rebirthing experiences:
Through breathing continuously without break, your body takes in more oxygen than usual, which changes the CO2 level in your brain.
You enter a self-induced trance state (a non-ordinary state of consciousness) where memories, pictures, emotions or body sensations can surface to be reviewed, released and integrated.
The power of rebirthing is that in this state you are the experiencer as well as the observer of past incidents that may emerge, enabling you to release and re-interpret what happened in the past from a newly conscious and fresh perspective.
Through conscious connected breathing you accumulate life force (prana, chi, ki) which starts to move freely through you body (experienced as tingling, energy rushes or waves).
This loosens up stored blockages held in your four-body energy system (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual), thus working on all four levels at the same time.
Experiences may vary every time. The spectrum of experiences range from physical sensations of pain or pleasure, release of body blockages through heat or energy movement to release of emotions (sadness, anger, etc.) There may be realisations of dysfunctional thought patterns or new thought connections and insights, and deeply spiritual or energetic experiences.”

ENCOUNTER

You there.
Have you forgotten something?
Something about choosing?
Look around: is this the world
you promised yourself?

I want to know who you could become
if the conditions were just right.
I want to know the you that's possible
with just enough thunder
and just enough sun.

Who taught you the human smile,
and did it ever land
in the living tissues of your human heart
beating miracles for free -
or is your face always onstage?

When you speak do you hear that one
as the oldest friend
since your microcosmic firework of conception,
which made creatures of the earth and sky alike
shudder with jollity and not know why,

or does your own voice
still sound to you like a stranger?
I want to know if you need permission
to arrive home right now
into your body longing to learn you.

Do you know breath
as always a holy door?
Who are you when you breathe
down deep, at last allowed to feel it all,
and your hair bursts into flame, and you remember:

we don't choose once and it's over,
but are asked to re-engage in every instant.
Look around: this very world
needs your arrival now, like sun
and like thunder, now and now and now.
~ Brooke McNamara,
from "Feed Your Vow”

Osteopatia e Medicina

Our diaphragm is an amazing muscle!
Can you feel it when you breathe?
This is a simple practice, that can connect you more to this important part of your breathing mechanism and your whole body, bringing the feeling of groundiness and arriving back into it.

Close your eyes if comfortable, focus inwards. Begin by breathing down into your belly, expanding your belly towards the front, sides and back on the inhale. Do it few times then start breathing deeper, expanding your belly even more, exaggerating...extending your limits, inflating your belly like a balloon.
Focus completely on your body breathing!
Intentionally open up to relaxation feeling in your body when you are breathing but stay focused. Drop your shoulders, relax your neck...use your out-breath to support you in this.
Feel your rib cage moving and expanding as a consequence of your belly breathing.
Feel the freedom of breathing. Breath fully, freely, wholly.
Feel how your breath is spreading into all other parts of your body, entering them, moving them, healing them... Feel your breath moving your rib cage, your collar bones, your shoulders, neck, arms, the whole of your back....
After 5 minutes come back to your normal breathing. Stay with your eye closed. Feel into the sensations in your body. Stay connected, conscious of the whole of your being.
Do this practice for 5 minutes every morning.
