Until recently western civilisation has had little awareness of the power of the breath until it became used as part of stress management programmes.

In the healing breath work process, a complete, circular breathing technique is used which quickly and safely gets the individual in touch with, and releases, our deepest emotions. This is a powerful process that can literally break down blocks on a mental, emotional, physical and cellular level. The experience can differ from session to session, and hence the process can be repeated and used as an on ongoing vehicle for change.

A breath session lasts approximately 2 hours. It involves taking a brief client history and looking at your individual needs. The actual breathing is undertaken lying down on the floor in a comfortable position, with blankets and padding for comfort. This breath is continued for approximately three quarters of an hour, during which time the therapist, uses various techniques to improve and develop the breath. The sessions ends with a period of relaxation/deep meditation. The whole session uses loud, inspiring music.
