Surrender into Self

A trauma informed breathwork and sound journey with opportunity to surrender into self.

During this 2.5 hour workshop participants will be working with the Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release System (BBTRS) a trauma informed breathwork approach utilising 6 main elements of breath, sound, touch, movement, emotions and meditation. We will begin by opening up sacred space, feeling into intentions for the session, then moving into exploring some gentle somatic movement. The invitation here is to allow participants to come into the body and slowly start awakening the internal parts of us. After a short break we will commence the breathwork journey which will go for around 60mins. Next, we will move into the integration and sound journey which will help to restore harmony and balance to the body’s biological rhythms and processes as well as inviting deep relaxation and the space to integrate the breath session

Breathwork:

Conscious Connected Breathwork is a powerful tool to help us connect deeply with the body. It bridges the gap between our conscious mind and subconscious mind and our body, in other words, we let go of the mind and explore deeper into our body. As we start to connect deeper in the body, tensions may start to reveal themselves.

The tensions we store in our bodies due to the ego defences we put in place to feel safe in our infancy, they stop us from interacting with others and our environment from the place of our true authentic selves, from our hearts. This work is focused on releasing these tensions from our bodies, freeing up energy, allowing us to perceive and interact with the world authentically and from our hearts. When we release tension from the body there may be an emotional response or trigger some old memories, you are supported during this process and afterwards should you require it.

Other benefits may include: 

• Lifts your mood and lowers anxiety
• Brings emotional clarity and calmness
• Boosts energy and stamina
• Strengthens immune system
• Reduces blood pressure
• Increases spiritual awareness
• Releases tension and expression in a safe environment
• Anchors joy and positive feelings in the body

Sound Journey:

Sound healing therapy helps to re-establishing correct functioning of the Endocrine system (the glands) which releases powerful healing hormones such as endorphins, serotonin and melatonin into the body. Other natural chemicals are also released, such as nitric oxide, vital for the body’s health and vitality. 

The vibrations from the instruments work on the vagus nerve which is connected to the middle ear and flows down to all of our major organs, it is the conductor of our parasympathetic nervous system and when this part of our nervous system is activated is when we feel relaxed and the body restores itself. As well as physical benefits, sound can help us emotionally and energetically.
