Transformational Breathwork Journey -Sayulita, Mexico
TRANSFORMATIONAL BREATHWORK JOURNEY IN SAYULITA - COME BE REBORN! This is an opportunity to be led on an expertly facilitated Breathwork journey for healing and awakening. In addition to Breathwork you will also be offered reiki to further balance your energy and emotions. *Please reach out if you'd like info about our 7-day Breathwork Reset RETREAT in April or to book a private. WHY BREATHWORK IS THE GREATEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE YOURSELF: Breathwork is such a gift - it allows even the most active of minds to shift to an extremely deep, meditative state - a state that can take many people years or even decades of meditation to achieve. It also opens the door for rapid transformations and profound healing; with many saying one session was as insightful as years of talk therapy. The trance-like hyper-conscious state you will experience during the breathwork is hard to explain; it’s a truly incredible state of mind that you need to experience to understand. Regardless of what happens in your journey, you will likely walk away having detoxified, and having released something or with a new revelation and a sense of bliss and peace. WHAT TO EXPECT You will be Breathing while lying down for 60 minutes, with music to guide you on your journey. Our total meeting time will be 1.75 hours with time before to explain the process and time after to share, ground, and integrate.
