Conscious Connected Breathwork

Conscious Connected Breathwork hosted by Dave

Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned breather, you are most welcome to this conscious connected breathwork session in the beautiful building of the Christian community in Stroud. Together in a group we’ll diver deeper into our breath and bodies, dissolve stored tension, and open to both power and vulnerability.

Conscious connected breathwork is a modality of breathwork where the inhale and exhale are continuous. In this practise I offer varying levels depending on your needs and desires. You will not be pushed to go at a specific speed and will be guided to follow the wisdom of your body. This practise can be done keeping the body within the para-sympathetic (relaxed) nervous system, without stimulating an intense catharsis. I find that this can be just as, if not more powerful.

I am here to support you, to offer gentle touch to your body if you so wish, and to facilitate the space and offer an emotive playlist of music with my 360 surround system to support and empower the journey.

Flow of the session:

• Arrive 5.50 for 6pm start
• Movement Activation
• Check-in & Intention Sharing
• 30-45 Breathe
• Integration
• Tea, Nibbles & Sharing

While there are well-recognised benefits of breathwork, you are invited to bring your own personal intention to the practice.

Whatever you wish to explore - whether physical, emotional, or spiritual there will be space to share, process, and transform both individually and together in the group.

Benefits can include:

• Reduced stress, anxiety and anger
• Healing of trauma and PTSD
• Increased focus, energy, clarity and resilience
• Re-igniting aliveness and healing numbness/apathy
• Emotional release and deeper self-connection

Physical benefits may include:

• Better sleep
• Improved mood
• Healthier respiration
• Nervous system regulation
• Lower blood pressure and improved heart health
• Boosted metabolism and digestion
• Enhanced brain activity, concentration & focus

Breathwork can open altered states of consciousness similar to psychedelic therapy, supporting healing but as with most practises there are contraindications. I shall list them here and if you are experiencing any of these please message me via phone or email directly (contact details below) before booking the session so we can see if breathwork is suitable for you / adjust your practise accordingly.

If anything is on your mind at all - please mention it. You will not be met with any judgement, and it will stay strictly confidential.

Contraindications:

• Epilepsy or seizures
• Heart conditions or arrhythmia
• High blood pressure
• Low blood pressure with a history of fainting
• Delicate pregnancy
• Bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or psychosis
• Untreated or severe PTSD
• Pre-existing lung disease
• Recent major surgery
• Glaucoma or detached retina
• Severe osteoporosis

Thank you for reading. I am looking forward to breathing together

With love,
Dave
