Virtual Breathwork Journey Intake Form and Safety Checklist
INTUITIVE. FLUID. RESTORING.
Breathwork is a big, life-changing work. The journey of breath is a journey of self-love, of higher compassion and multifaceted awareness. By breathing into the unknown, we bring life and energy to that which is buried or stagnant. Through breath, we enliven the lost parts of us and return them back into wholeness.
The majority of breathers first experience deep emotional and/or physical release. It is possible to feel anything from grief/pain/discomfort to ecstasy/joy/bliss and anything in between. Again, these are parts of self that are not being met in waking life and thus want the freedom to be completely and uninhibitedly expressed in a safe container of expression, as we will create.
The endless life-force, creativity and vitality is available to us now. Let the breath show you.
