Breathwork Circle

Join the Congregation for Sacred Practices as we are led by an expert instructor into an internal exploration of Self through breath.

What is Breathwork?

Breathwork is an active meditation using a two-part breath, inhaling and exhaling through the mouth, sometimes called pranayama yoga. It will activate the hypothalamus gland and release endorphins. Like other types of meditation, breathwork can take the self-referencing default mode network of the brain offline and allow you to access and integrate other regions of the brain. Ultimately, it can allow you to connect with your core essence.

What is the Purpose of Breathwork?

The intention of breathwork is to release stuck energies in the form of thoughts or emotions related to past experiences and to gain access to a deeper Self, activating the part of you that knows and has information for you. When you are able to release your own stuck energy and connect more deeply with your Self, you expand your capacity and deepen your ability to be present with a broader range of your client’s emotional experiences and patterns.

What is The Congregation for Sacred Practices?

Sacred Practices is a 501(c)3 religious organization that works with sacred plant medicines to offer healing and spiritual guidance to those on the awakening path.
