Breathwork Retreat

Do you wish you could accelerate your personal and spiritual growth?  I don’t want you to miss out on this powerful experience … if you are ready to make deep profound changes. Breathwork helps you heal and develop emotional intimacy within yourself and with your loved ones faster than any method I know.

What can you expect from Breathwork?

1. Emotional suffering may vanish or greatly decline.

2. Unproductive coping patterns will spontaneously shift. If they don’t change automatically, with follow-up counseling, they can be transformed more easily because you have healed on a deep emotional/spiritual level.

3. Painful family of origin issues will be healed.

4. Grief, even long-standing grief, can be resolved.

5. Limiting beliefs about yourself (shame, unworthiness, inadequacy) will be replaced with self-acceptance.

6. Physical pain and dis-ease may disappear or diminish greatly. Or, you will have more insight about the emotional roots if there are any. In some cases, physical injuries have been healed that have no emotional cause.

7. Anxiety and depression ease up.

Breathwork is not psychotherapy. It is not cognitive therapy. It is not positive thinking. It is not about controlling or getting rid of your emotions. It is not releasing. It is not letting go of the past.

Breathwork is a body-based spiritual healing modality that combines deep diaphragmatic breathing and evocative music for the purpose of holistic healing and spiritual growth. We invoke unconditional love and healing from the Holy Spirit who guides the process.

In Breathwork, I help you experience your wholeness even in the midst of the pain, the fear, the anger, and the anguish.

I help you summon the courage to feel the intense emotions in your body, and stay present. You don’t implode in depression or explode in anger. You walk away with a more solid sense of your Authentic Self.

Results like these can occur in your very first Breathwork session. When you participate in several Breathwork sessions, you gain more skill in the process so you can heal at deeper and deeper levels. While there may be recurring themes, no two Breathwork sessions are ever the same.

If you don’t have much experience with emotional processing, your first Breathwork session may consist of getting comfortable with deep diaphragmatic breathing, staying present in your body, and beginning to feel your deep emotions. This is a perfectly respectable first-time experience. With repeated sessions, you’ll experience more profound results.

Breathwork Process. I’ll help you find the path to your Authentic Self, your spirit, who is connected to the Holy Spirit.

You’ll lie on a mat on the floor with your eyes closed and covered with an eye mask to block out the light. Evocative music and my healing touch will help you in two ways.

(1) Emotions related to unhealed wounds will surface so they can be healed. You’ll intend to stay totally present in your body, instead of abandoning your self. Many of us reel from the pain of our loved ones emotionally disconnecting with us in the past. That leaves us feeling lonely and scared.

But now, surrounded by the love of the group, and watched over by me as I am guided by the Holy Spirit, you can connect with the original source of the pain. Plus …

(2) You will receive spiritual healing when you allow yourself feel held in the arms of God. You’ll feel whole from the inside out.

As you breathe deeply and rapidly from your diaphragm for one to two hours, you will activate theta brain waves. Everyone has theta brain waves. We pass through them on our way to sleep every night. How do we know when we are in theta?

Monkey-mind-chatter and anxiety stop. We see dreamy-like images. We know we have a body, but we don’t feel it so pain goes away. We’re still awake enough to hear sounds and smell fragrances. Intuitive insights may spontaneously pop into our minds, and we may remember something we forgot. After we meditate and come out of theta, we feel renewed with calm clear energy for several hours. Physical pain may be eliminated.

Few people have learned how to use theta brain wave states for emotional healing. However, it is relatively easy to reach spiritual states of consciousness where we experience awe, unconditional love, and profound inner peace. This is the peace that is talked about in our great spiritual traditions. This is the peace that passes all understanding. You’ll learn how to do this in your Breathwork session.

When you enter into the darkness inside yourself, a spiritual door opens. (I call this Shadow Work.) You may be flooded with insight. You may see people and scenes in your mind that supply the missing pieces to your puzzle. You can finally transform your limiting life patterns. You may have profound experiences of spiritual intimacy. Love for your family members may be restored. You may forgive your self at a deeper level.

After the Breathwork session, you will draw a picture highlighting your experience. Then you will share with the group. I will coach you as needed and as time allows. You’ll receive support and validation from the group members and from me.
