how it all works?

Science has proven what Eastern and indigenous cultures have known for centuries... that we are energetic beings with vibrational fields, the state of which can greatly impact our health. Trapped emotions and energies reside in our energy field just as they do in our bodies, incessantly draining our life force, if left unchecked. With that in mind, this class harnesses the synergistic power of breathwork and energy healing simultaneously to reach deep into the body AND the energetic field to release the blocks that are preventing the optimal flow of vitality throughout our entire being. This holistic approach aims to deliver the deepest level of transformation as each modality is a powerhouse on it's own but woven together, the potential for embodied results is significantly increased.

Life force is the vital essence and animating force that flows through all things. Mystical poets have called it, "the breath within the breath." https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5830e8_e6a76c6be28845139e95570aaa798e2b~mv2.png Yogis have called it prana. The Chinese have called it qi or chi. These ancient cultures also taught us that the human body has subtle energetic pathways through which this life force flows and when it gets blocked, we can suffer from disease, dysfunction, depression, etc. Things that block life force include: unresolved trauma, repressed emotions, limiting beliefs, negative thinking, chronic stress, stifling creative expression, being inauthentic, to name a few. That's why we've designed this class to help clear the blocks and get things flowing!

The primary breath pattern we will use is known as conscious connected breathing, a simple circular pattern of breath without any pauses in between the inhalation and exhalation. When we experience turbulent emotions or stressful situtations, we often hold our breath as part of our physiological response. This causes emotions to get stuck in the body, blocking the natural flow of vitality within your system. Through the consisent rhythm of this breath pattern, you can clear out years worth of old emotional baggage, opening up your energy channels to allow vital life force to flow with ease. Woohoo! Instruction is given each class to support new students.

Soma is the Greek word for body. Somatics refers to the use of body-based practices such as movement, sounding, breathwork, inner child/parts work, presencing, to empower embodied liberation and transformation. It is a holistic term that also relates to our physical, mental, astral and emotional bodies, where our many blocks reside. In these classes, we will focus primarily on breathwork, weaving in other supportive practices as guided.

Even if it seems out of your comfort zone, we encourage you to come check it out at least once! If anything we say doesn’t resonate, just let it go and focus on the breath. We promise we won’t be offended. If it turns out it isn’t for you, you can have a good laugh as it simply becomes a funny story about that crazy thing you did that time. And you never know, you just might leave feeling better than when you came.

As breathwork can be really intense, triggering profound emotional and physiological releases, it may not be suitable for everyone. It is imperative to let us know in advance if you are experiencing any of the following conditions: * Cardiovascular disease * Glaucoma * Detached retina * History of strokes or seizures * Osteoporosis * Asthma and lung related diseases * Pregnancy * Epilepsy * High blood pressure * Bi-polar, schizophrenia and psychiatric conditions that may impair your ability to process intense emotional releases

While the dance can really get the heart rate up, you get to choose your own intensity, so all fitness levels are welcome.

Simply put, remote energy work is a transmission of subtle energy using the focused power of intention to help promote your body's own self-healing mechanisms, done from a distance. It works similarly to acupuncture or acupressure to remove energy blockages, supporting the natural flow of life force through the body and energy field. It can be done 1 on 1 or for groups.

At the heart of distant energy healing is the human energy field, a subtle yet pervasive electromagnetic aura that envelops our physical bodies. While conventional medicine primarily focuses on the tangible aspects of health, quantum physics delves into the realm of subatomic particles and their behavior. According to quantum studies, all matter, including our bodies, is composed of vibrating energy fields interconnected at a fundamental level. This deeply resonates with ancient healing traditions that view health as a balance of energies within and around the body. The proven principle of quantum entanglement demonstrates that particles, once in contact remain connected, influencing each other's states regardless of spatial separation. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5830e8_347ad496be78403191ea5dff55806777~mv2.png This means that we can transmit healing energy to anyone, anywhere in the world and it will have an impact. Just as a focused thought can influence our emotional state, concentrated intentions directed towards healing can resonate with the quantum energy field, initiating cascades of physiological responses, no matter the distance. This short cartoon demonstrates how electrons can act as both a particle and a wave depending on whether or not they are observed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1YqgPAtzho(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1YqgPAtzho) This is the incredible power we all have to help one another energetically configure to the liberated version of ourselves we so desire. Pretty awesome, right? There are also numerous studies on the positive results of energy medicine modalities like Reiki and remote healing.
