Expanded States Breathwork is a practice designed to help uncover and release unconscious blockages, while fostering a deeper connection to our self, universe and spirit/source.
Connecting to our self in this deep and profound way also helps us get in touch with our Higher Self, the aspect of us that is always connected to the Divine, and has an awareness of our past lives and our soul purpose, why we have chosen to reincarnate at this specific moment in human history and what our purpose is while we are here.
In Expanded States Breathwork, utilizing deeper and faster breathing to a speciality curated music set, we embark on a journey where we practice surrender and trusting the process and how it unfolds uniquely for us during the session.
The journey we go through in Expanded States Breathwork is very similar to the process of the Hero's Journey.
Just as the hero embarks on a quest of self-discovery, in Expanded States Breathwork, breathers embrace and embark on a journey to explore their inner landscapes, confront fears, and emerge as more empowered versions of themselves.
"Non-ordinary states of consciousness have been used for centuries as an essential tool for understanding why we are here and how we can live richer, more meaningful lives." ~ Stan Grof
Accessing expanded states have been a central facet of mystical traditions across cultures and epochs. These altered states offer seekers a gateway to transcendent experiences that transcend the confines of ordinary perception. In the embrace of these states, mystics have reported profound encounters with the divine, direct communion with spiritual realms, and a dissolution of the egoic self.
Non-ordinary states have served as conduits for revelations, insights, and transformative encounters that deepen the mystic's connection to the cosmos and the mysteries of existence. Through these experiences, mystical traditions have explored the boundaries of human consciousness and unlocked insights that enrich spiritual understanding and guide seekers along the path of enlightenment.
