With the uprising of various breathwork techniques in the world, you are probably wondering which breathwork is ideal for you and how you can benefit from it. In this article, I will explain the combination of the Holotropic breathing technique with Shamanic drum journeying for therapeutic reasons.
If you are looking for a deep therapeutic method and experience to help you heal pain and emotional trauma, release stress in your daily life, while also building a deeper spiritual practice:
This is for you!
What the holotropic shamanic breathwork is
Among the various therapeutic breathwork methods, I work with an alternative method combining a breathwork technique similar to Holotropic Breatwork, which was originally developed in the 1970s by Stanislav and Christina Grof, fused with a Shamanic drum journey to facilitate an in-depth, therapeutic, and alternative experience for somatic healing and subconscious reprogramming.
The holotropic breathing technique uses only rapid mouth breathing for an extended amount of time, usually between 1-3 hours, depending on the setting and intention, to reach deeper states of consciousness.
This method together with the shamanic drumming and/or specific type of music puts you into a state of trance and connection to your subconscious that allows you to both release stored energies and emotions such as built up stress or specific traumas that your body is holding onto while also helping you to reach higher states of spiritual awareness.
Physical release and Subconscious healing
It can help you clear negative thoughts and patterns around your confidence and self-love, social anxiety, worries, and/or fears while also accessing deeper states of consciousness for personal development.
This process helps you in accessing parts of your psyche and stored memories that might be more difficult to reach in ‘ordinary’ therapy. You may receive visions or insights, or you may just have an intense physical purging process where energy leaves your body in order to make space for new patterns in your life.
The physical purging can be crying, shaking, coughing, laughing, sweating and/or noticing painful tension coming up to be released. Every session can be very different from the other, and of course, always personal, depending on what you are ready for and what your intentions are.
How you can benefit from therapeutic breathwork
You can use it to increase your self-love and confidence, sense of positive power and creativity in your business/mission and personal life.
You can also use it to reach deep relaxation and states of meditation that usually take much longer if you are not an experienced meditator; it helps you gain harmony and a beautiful sense of peace.
On a more subtle and spiritual level, it can help you to increase your self-awareness, understand patterns in your life, receive deep clarity about yourself and your relationships, and gain a new sense of clarity for what you want in your future.
This can help you to see visions and manifestations more clearly, connect to your Spirit guides and angelic support while creating a strong energy of faith in your soul's journey!
So this is a multi-faceted method that you can receive huge benefits from in all areas of your life. As you heal and break free from the old, you naturally also manifest more of ‘Heaven on Earth’ in your day-to-day life, more dreams coming true, more love, and magical experiences.
If you are ready to let go of what is holding you back, upgrade the love and magic in your relationships while also feeling a sense of unwavering confidence in who you are + your vision for your life: this is for you.
