The most important aspect to note with circular breathwork/conscious connected breathwork is that we are entering into an expanded (or non-ordinary) state of consciousness which ultimately allows us to penetrate the unconscious mind and shift the brainwave pattern. There are many forms of circular breathwork but what’s unique about our method (The Sacred Breath Method) is that it activates the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) response (also known as rest, restore, and recalibrate). It should be understood that exclusively nose-inhale cycles (like ours) or purely diaphragmatic breathing are what activates the PNS. Otherwise, mouth-inhale circular breathwork actually activates the sympathetic or "fight or flight" state.

Circular Breathwork, is an avenue to safely and artfully explore our emotional landscape in a safe container of compassionate witness and non-judgment. In essence, breath teaches us how to create space for it all— to meet ourselves there, to love ourselves there, and to welcome in and embrace our totality. Breath also teaches us to re-inhabit our bodies, reclaim our essential truth and recalibrate our  nervous system back into balance. 

Circular Breathwork allows us to break out of the overthinking mind, or “monkey” mind, (beta brainwave) and enter into a higher brainwave (alpha, theta or occasionally gamma brainwave) i.e. an expanded state of consciousness. Here, you may access the unconscious mind to unlock embedded imprints, programmed narratives or self-limiting beliefs for illumination. Essentially, we can become conscious to our unconscious influences. In this space, we are given the opportunity to resolve and transform the un-serving beliefs living in the subconscious which keep us marooned from our higher potentiality, purpose, power and genius. Circular Breathwork also allows us to tap into the limbic brain, where repressed emotions and memories are stored.

Trauma lives in the body. Everything that has ever happened to us (and up to 14 generations of our ancestry) lives in our cells (cellular memory), nervous systems and beyond. Additionally, breathwork will catalyze a powerful cellular healing process in the breather that is difficult to put into words and can only be experienced. Many call it “energy surgery”. Once the channels are fully open, breathwork may further take us into the mystical states of knowing, awareness and consciousness— deep into the heart of our most primordial soul essence, or what many refer to as the true self.
