3 Hour Holotrophic Breathwork *With live DJ* in EDINBURGH CITY EH7
Cost: £45
Join us for a special event in Edinburgh city
Back in January 2024, Laura (aka DJ Mistaeo) and Naomi held a group breathwork session for 30 people at FLARE festival. It was such a powerful experience, with men and women connecting as a group through breath, and with the music responding to the group it was incredible!! One attendee said that it "blew her mind and opened her heart", another that he "went up into the stars and saw the whole universe!"
With feedback like that, we want to do it again.
We have limited capacity for larger breathwork groups here at Life & Light, so for this session we are at Studio 6.02 in Edinburgh, near Holyrood Park.
The event will run 10am-1pm on Saturday 28th September and with space for up to 20 people, you will experience the amazing power of breath in community with others.
“Deep breathing is the love language of our nervous system" Dr. Lauren Fogel Mersy
What is Holotrophic Breathwork?
The word "holotrophic" means 'moving towards wholeness' and this specific type of breathing is designed to help the breather access states beyond those we usually experience in normal consciousness. Far from being scary, or over-whelming, this breath allows you to alter your intensity at any time so that you remain in complete control of your experience.
Many scientists and bodyworkers have come to realise that emotion is stored within the body and there are many ways to release this. Sometimes however, events which become emotionally "stuck" in our body happen before we have the ability to describe or even remember them. This is called pre-cognitive trauma. Breathwork can be a powerful way to allow unprocessed emotion to be released from the body which has been held onto, all the way back to our birth.
This type of breathing which is done in the chest, is designed to help shift any stuck emotion, however this can show up as powerfully positive emotions of laughter, love and bliss as much as releasing any negative ones. The breathwork is completely intuitive, like having a 1-1 conversation with body and mind at the same time. This makes this process more about letting go, rather than becoming overwhelmed. You are in complete control of your experience.
Because Holotrophic breathwork is usually very powerful, either through the sheer bliss which is experienced, or the emotions that are processed, we want to leave you plenty of time to ease in and out of the breathing.
The workshop is created around this format:
• Holotrophic breathwork: What is it? How does it work?
