Hello,
Hello beautiful soul and welcome to today's breathwork journey.
This is a powerful one with the possibility of releasing DMT in the brain,
Opening a portal to connect more deeply with spirit,
With oneness,
With serenity.
Now this is an advanced practice.
We are doing dynamic breath work with long breath holds,
So now is a really perfect moment to check in with your body and feel if this is suitable for your level and to read the contraindications listed below in the description.
If this feels like the right place for you to be you're going to need a yoga block,
A meditation cushion or something to sit on to raise up your hips.
This will help your spine to stand nice and tall and create more room for the full use of your respiratory system and that includes the back of your body as well.
You might also want to have a jumper or a blanket close by as many people find that their body temperature drops as they breathe in this way.
How we're going to breathe today is in six cycles.
Each cycle is a two and a half minute dynamic breath work followed by a breath retention.
The dynamic breath work is a two-part inhale and one exhale.
We're going to be inhaling through the nose belly and then inhaling through the nose to the chest,
Exhaling through the mouth.
It's going to look a little bit like this.
Belly,
Chest,
Release.
Belly,
Chest,
Release.
Belly,
Chest,
Release.
After two and a half minutes you will hear me count down from five.
You'll then take in a full inhalation,
A full exhalation and go empty.
You'll soften the belly,
Soften the shoulders,
Soften the body and you're going to stay empty starting at one minute and we will increase that as we move through the cycles to two minutes.
You'll hear me count down from five again.
You'll take in a full inhale,
Hold the breath at the top for about 25 seconds.
We can pull the belly button to the spine and in this moment it's a beautiful opportunity if you like to connect with your third eye,
The space between the eyebrows,
So you can access that with some gentle tapping,
Just feeling that space,
A light press and then we will exhale and move into the next cycle.
Something important to let you know,
If the breath retentions are feeling too long,
Please take a breath,
Please listen to your body and on the other side if you want to stay longer then you are your own master through this journey.
So listen to where your body is at,
Listen to those nudges.
As I said,
This is a powerful breathwork journey so be aware that some sensations may arise during the journey.
You're always invited to meet these sensations with curiosity,
However if they feel too intense or uncomfortable,
Please slow down your breathing and you will return to homeostasis within a few minutes and you can find the sensations listed below in the description.
So let's sit up nice and tall,
Nice straight spine and we're just gonna start to warm up the body a little bit before we get into our breath sequence.
So let's take the neck over to the right side for a breath in and exhale rolling it around to the left side.
Nice breath in over here and do a few of these in your own timing,
Just taking the neck from side to side really intentionally,
Really consciously and breathing into those spaces that might be feeling a little bit tense.
And as you breathe in here,
I want you to visualize the breath as though it has its own form.
So when you inhale,
See the breath moving into the body and moving into those spaces where tightness exists and visualize it breaking them down and dissolving anything that's there,
Any stagnant energy.
And on the exhale,
This breath,
This breath with form takes out that stagnation with it,
Releasing it back into the cosmos.
Breathing into those spaces and exhale,
Taking the neck to the other side,
Inhaling again.
Beautiful.
Now coming back to center,
Nice tall spine.
We're gonna inhale reaching the left arm up to the sky and using your right arm,
You're gonna take a hold of the left wrist with the right hand and then exhale as you lean over to the right side,
Breathing into the left side of the body,
Keeping the armpit open and with every exhale here,
See if you can go just that little bit deeper.
Breathing in nice,
Long,
Slow,
Deep breaths into that stretch and exhaling as you soften even deeper into the stretch.
Beautiful.
Inhale,
Coming back into center,
Dropping the left arm and this time inhale,
Taking the right hand up,
Take a hold of the right wrist with the left hand and exhale,
Leaning over to the left.
And same here,
Just breathing into those spaces and using the exhale to help bring you that little bit deeper.
Beautiful.
Inhale,
Back to center,
Drop the arms down,
Shake it off,
Let it be loose,
Roll the shoulders,
Move in any way you need to right now.
Grab yourself a sip of water,
Tea,
Anything you need and then find your seat for our breathwork journey.
Just softening down the eyes if they aren't already or if that doesn't feel good,
Just gazing softly at the place in front of you and start to connect in with your breath,
Placing the hands gently on your knees or perhaps one on the belly,
One on the heart.
And let's begin.
Belly,
Chest,
Release.
Belly,

Beautiful,
Keep breathing.
And as you find your way with the breath here,
Just notice how your awareness comes deeper into the body.
And even as you breathe,
You may notice some resistance in this first cycle.
So just allow that to be here,
Allow that to move as you keep on breathing.

With the eyes still closed,
Look up to the third eye chakra.
For five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Exhale,
Exhale,
Exhale.
And just return to your natural rhythm of breathing here.
And maybe take in a nice big inhale to the belly and exhale with a sigh.
And find your space to lie down,
To receive,
To let the energy land as we enter into our meditation.
And as you begin to lie down and settle in here,
I invite you to think of a mantra,
Of something that you need in your life right now,
Whether that is strength,
Abundance,
Prosperity,
Joy,
Ease.
And just begin with the mantra,
I am joy,
I am prosperity,
I am ease.
And let that mantra be with you for the next few minutes as you receive the wisdom that already lives within you.
And just bringing that mantra back to front of mind,
In your heart space,
I am.
And anchor that in even more deeply on the next inhale,
Through the nose,
Deep down to the belly.
Exhaling with a big sigh.
And just slowly bring some small movements to the fingers and to the toes.
Sensing your life force energy moving through you with each movement.
Maybe taking the hands overhead,
Stretching open.
Or bringing the knees into the chest for a self hug just for a moment.
And slowly,
In your own timing,
Making your way back to a seated position.
Or if you just want to stay exactly as you are,
That's also perfect.
Keeping your eyes closed in reverence for the practice.
Feeling your heart open just a little bit more.
And first,
Giving gratitude to the teachers and masters who came before us to share the beautiful power of breath work.
Secondly,
Thanking yourself for taking the time today to be with us.
Secondly,
Thanking yourself for taking the time today to go on this journey and explore this new part of you.
And lastly,
Thank you for me,
For being here and for being present.
Have the most beautiful,
Beautiful day.
