Conscious Connected Breathwork & Sacred Cacao Ceremony With Matt Castle

Experience the magical power of your BREATH! 

Emotions are e-motions which is energy in motion, this energy is not meant to be stored. The body often hangs onto or attaches to emotions, creating repetitive patterns. Join me to learn and experience how to release emotions, shifting repetitive patterns

With the power of your breath, combined with some carefully selected sound, we will create a beautiful blissful experience for you to enjoy and benefit from physically, mentally, and emotionally 

Clear your mind body and soul, with this truly life changing experience. We will serve a beautiful Cacao, while we discuss the beneficial properties and how our ancestors shared their wisdom and deep intuition. I will run through the many healing abilities your breath has and what you might expect during this experience, all while you sit with beautiful ceremonial grade cacao

Experience deep relaxation, euphoria, insight, guidance, connection to our higher self, past lives, our path, purpose, & more. Carrying your intention into the breath , we often experience exactly what is needed in that moment.

During this 3 hour ceremony, you'll connect with like minded people, learn the conscious connected breathwork technique, experience a full breathwork and sound journey along with a little space for integration and sharing about your experience at the end (if you would like to).

Your facilitator: Matt

I offer a calm and gentle masculine presence, encouraging heart activation and opening, to trust in yourself and connection with others. My years of research have lead me to serving others on their path to self-discovery and self-mastery. Creating a blissful safe space to go inward and feel it to heal it, replacing stress or negative energy stored in the body, with that of bliss, connection, joy, relaxation, presence, with an open trusting heart in flow and resonance with nature and your natural state of being.

The Holotropic style of conscious connected breathwork is powerful when guided by intention. I enourage you to carry intention into this journey. Holotropic is an ancient Greek expression, meaning Holo = Wholeness and Tropic = Trepein meaning 'in the direction of' or in the direction of wholeness. It is my intention to create a safe space for the journey inward reconnecting with others inspiring intuitive direction

Contraindications:

Like most types of therapy, Breathwork isn't appropriate for everyone. It is also important to note that a contraindication for some types of Breathwork may not be one for another. For example, types of breathwork that use rapid breathing may be very risky for someone with certain health conditions, such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular issues, a recent surgery, or osteoporosis. However, a type of Breathwork that utilizes a more gentle and relaxed form of breathing may be perfectly safe, and even beneficial. It's recommended that you consult with your healthcare provider (including any mental health provider) and consult with the Breathwork practitioner before participating in any form of Breathwork.

Following is a list of some of the most common contraindications for Breathwork:

• Cardiovascular problems
• High or abnormal blood pressure
• History of aneurysms
• Epilepsy or history of seizures
• Anyone on heavy medication
• Severe psychiatric symptoms, particularly psychosis or paranoia
• Bipolar depression
• Osteoporosis
• Recent surgery
• Glaucoma
• Pregnancy
• An active addiction
• An person with mental illness who isn't in treatment or lacks adequate support
  
  

Breathwork can result in intense physical and emotional release. Therefore, it is not advised for persons with a history of cardiovascular disease, including angina or heart attack, high blood pressure, glaucoma, retinal detachment, osteoporosis, any significant recent physical injuries or surgeries. Breathwork is not advised for persons with severe mental illness or seizure disorders or for persons using major medications. It is also unsuitable for anyone with a personal or family history of aneurysms. Pregnant women are advised against practicing Breathwork without first consulting and getting approval from their primary care physician. Persons with asthma should bring their inhaler and consult with their primary care physician and the Breathwork facilitator before their first session.
