Healing Breathwork Circle

Healing Breathwork Circle led by Nicole Smith Levay  Gently stir up and release stuck energy, then move healing sensations through the body simply by breathing in rhythm. Your spirit truly guides the way! No prior experience is necessary for this class.   This is the three-part breathing technique as taught by David Elliott. Active breathwork has many known benefits such as reducing stress and pain, increasing relaxation and energy, all while exploring altered states of consciousness consciously!  How does it work? We begin by grounding with an opening ritual and an astrological weather report for the upcoming month. This is followed by some organic movement and stretching to  help land fully in the present moment. The main event is relaxing and laying on the floor while you enter a 45-minute  journey of deep healing through breath and sound current.  Feel free to wear cozy loose-fitting attire and bring any other tools for grounding and comfort: an eye pillow, handheld crystals and stones, a pen and journal for after the journey, or whatever else will bring you comfort.
