Holotropic Breathwork
What is Holotropic Breathwork?
Holotropic breathwork (HB) is a group method of self-exploration and
psychotherapy that incorporates experiential elements such as breathwork,
music, bodywork, art, and talking. HB is promoted to induce deep states of
altered consciousness and release blocked energy and emotions. Holotropic
breathing involves deep accelerated breathing and encourages combining
inhalation and exhalation into a cycle of continuous breath.
Holotropic breathwork was developed by psychiatrist Stanislov Grof in the
1970s as a drug-free way to induce a non-ordinary state of consciousness.
The word holotropicwas coined by Grof and inspired by the Greek words
“holos” (whole) and “trepein”.
Did you know? By deliberately increasing the pace of breathing during
holotropic breathwork, it’s suggested that regular psychological defenses
are eased, leading to the release of unconscious material that may have
been suppressed.
Is Holotropic Breathwork Right For You?
Hypnotic Power’s breathwork sessions aren’t limited to one technique.
Breathwork leaves you with a higher feeling of self awareness and bliss.
Additionally breathwork works to clear your mind and opens the heart.
These states can be beneficial on their own but combined with mediation
and reiki they can prove to be very powerful.
Tara will explain exactly on how to do the breath before going in and will
be facilitating by your side the whole experience.
Type of wrath, Work can be a little more aggressive, but that’s why it’s
so powerful because it really allows you to move stuck energy out of your
body and release any trapped emotions, stories or feelings.
What To Expect
To start the session, I suggest a few forms of breath as I think it is
important to use whatever form of breath at that moment feels right. If
you stay with the breath and don’t stop it doesn’t matter what one you use
at the time. During the breath session you may want to slow down and
breath differently, starting with one breath technique and following my
guidance then moving into another is awesome. There is no right or wrong
way to do breathe. I suggest you listen to your body, all though it’s
important to push yourself through the uncomfortableness its also
important to pay attention to what breathe feels best at the moment.
Holotropic breathing involves lying down, relaxing, and breathing as
rapidly and as deeply as possible. Once this breathing rhythm has been
established, participants may eventually fall into a slightly different
breathing rhythm variation that feels most right to them. Once the
breathing rhythm has been established, intense breath music is played in
combination with fast breathing to induce a state of trance that allows
for different levels of the unconscious to be reached. The session may
begin with emotionally uplifting music and move to more intense rhythmic
music as you expand the speed of your breath. Then energies can come out
of your body being released into the universe. This process allows you to
let go of things that are no longer serving you such as stale unwanted
energy that you no longer need. This process can feel hard, uncomfortable
and you may want to quit. BUT the key is to move through the
uncomfortableness and that’s where the hard work pays off. Your body will
feel tingly, and you will want to move in whatever way feels best to
release the energy, this can be through shaking your limbs or dancing or
whatever you feel. At this moment you are being fully guided by your body.
I will be there guiding and holding space for you the whole time.
Again the movement may look different for everyone there is no right or
wrong way BUT it’s extremely important to move as the energy will be
moving out of you, and in order to not keep it stuck you need to move.
Some examples are shaking your hands kicking your feet and even getting up
with your eyes closed and move your body. As long as you keep breathing
you can move around as you please. Tara will giving gentle reminders
throughout the session. Especially if she noticed energy shifts occurring
moving is important to release it.
Tara will be using her shamanic drum to help move energy.
Helping you get through the work. After we will slowly come back to
reality with a clear mind, open heart and you will leave feeling more
aligned and balanced.
Hypnotherapy & What to expect
Hypnosis looks different for every person, but the outcome is very
similar: you will experience relaxation, more motivation, positive
thoughts, positive energy, and less heaviness.
Everyone can be hypnotized as long as you’re open and willing.
During this session you will remove old stories and beliefs to fully
create a more successful, happy life.
What to expect:
Hypnotherapy is like a massage for your body and your brain you’ll feel
relaxed and calm and when you come out of a session, you’ll feel lighter
and at ease even after doing work. Hypnotherapy is a process of being
guided into a trance like state by going into the subconscious mind and
there we will quiet the monkey chatter known as the conscious mind and
become totally relaxed and very open to suggestions of your highest good.
Also, this is where 95% of our information is stored so we can access and
find those exact moments where the root cause of most things is, and I
guide you through your own healing moving through whatever your intended
outcome is.
Hypnosis is NO different then a Guided meditation there are doing in the
same thing and will feel the same, the only difference is that in Hypnosis
you can I’ll go alittle deeper and you will have a special intention.
During this GROUP hypnosis we will be letting go of an intention and
replacing it with a new positive uplifting intention.
We will set up the intentions before we go into the session so have that
set up in your mind.
This group session will be relaxing, calming and restorative.
I will have business cards to take at the workshops
