BREATHWORK

ALL SESSIONS £25/PERSON

These monthly 2 hour sessions begin with somatic work and locate an area of our lives we wish to explore based on our felt sense. Now that the weather has improved we will aim to start the movement session outside.

These sessions run mid - end of the month and are open to all. No experience needed - just a willingness to be curious and explore.

Please consult your medical practitioner to ensure therapeutic breathing techniques such as conscious connected breath are suitable for you. If you suffer from epilepsy, heart problems, have medical issues or psychological conditions such as high anxiety, bipolar, personality disorder this may not be suitable and we ask for you to contact Sarah first. If you are seeing a psychiatrist, we request their consent for you to attend the class to email sarahemarten@gmail.com

Every breathwork session is different, just as every breath we take is unique. Circular continuous breathing can help us access the residue of long-held self-limiting beliefs and wounds left by trauma that can get stuck in our subconscious, creating patterns that prevent us from making positive shifts and moving forward into the life we most deeply desire.

These sessions have the additional benefit of live drumming and this can help the breath penetrate deeper as the vibrational sounds open us up. We use Breathwork to access and reprogram the subconscious mind and make space for new opportunities and beliefs, releasing obstructive, resistant energies. What this does is allow for exciting new perspectives and possibilities to surface - which can then be embodied and lived with purpose and innovation.

The body has its own wisdom and language that we can access to but through habit and set thinking, we have ignored and thereby placing over reliance on the mind. Learning how to use and to listen to the body is a clearer and truer guide to feelings and actions.

Breath is our medicine - we can control how deeply and how quickly we breathe and in so doing we self regulate. In a session, it is your choice how deeply you wish to go and your breath is your gas pedal. Breathing is the link between body and mind, between spirit and matter, between the conscious and the subconscious mind. The breath is a force, a bridge, a tool. It connects us to each other, and to our own nature, our source.

When we control our breathing, we control our awareness, our focus and our energy, our life force. Breathing is a behaviour. Breath control is self control. Breath awareness is self awareness. When the breath flows fully and freely our natural creative and healing energies flow fully and freely. The breathing we use in sessions is called conscious connected breathing.It is very easy to do and we are lying down throughout the breathing element of the session.

The breath sessions begin with some easy movement and walking exercises followed by an hour of breathing and then an integration period. It is best to take it very gently for the rest of the day as although changes may not be apparent, the benefits will play out over the coming days. There is more information on breathwork in previous posts and under the Tab at the top of the opening page.

CLARITY BREATHWORK SESSIONS MAY-JUNE
Jun

6:30 PM18:30

CLARITY BREATHWORK SESSIONS MAY-JUNE

The Clarity Breathwork sessions run twice a month but not always on the same day - usually a Friday or Saturday.

Clarity Breathwork is a conscious, circular breathing technique that has influence over mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. It works towards a fundamental shift in our being, towards integration.
The sessions are a maximum of 10 people and begin with some movement in the form of dance -this is optional and you can walk around the room instead. After this there we work in pairs for a process. We  then lie down on individual foam mattresses for the one hour breathwork session. There is a integration period afterwards. Studio Britford offers a supportive and safe environment.

Breath is life and in many languages the word for breath is the same as the word for spirit. This is our connection to our fundamental and spirit nature. During our birth, many of us suffered medical intervention and hence were disconnected from our natural breath right. Umbilical cords were cut straight away, pain relief and in particular epidurals were given that also affected us and being taken by the feet and hung upside down was the first experience many of us had of breath and it was a terrifying ordeal.

As a result, it is common to have had some interference to our natural breathing and to hold things in and hence stultify our natural way of living. With breathwork, we begin to breath into every cell in the body and thus fire ourselves fully alive. Blockages in all aspects of our body- mind, spirit and emotions start to ease out and the flow of energy becomes even and continuous again.

Our breath is unique to each of us and is our own in-house pharmacy. It is under-utilised and yet has the most miraculous power to heal. It is our birthright but as we now know, many of us were robbed of this particularly people born post war.

Clarity Breathwork is gentler than many other breath modalities. Healing doesn’t have to be cathartic and intense. In fact the body responds better there is a gentler approach and the integration is at a deeper somatic level. The focus is to encourage a shift in the way our body and mind function - we want to return to a natural state where we no longer cling onto past trauma and memories and they do not influence our lives now - a full embodiment into our Selves. The desire to be fully present in our bodies and meet all the emotional material that has been incomplete in our systems is the first step to self love. To begin to allow, accept and understand why we are as we are allows us to become complete so we can come into wholeness. Our perceptions and beliefs begin to be formed in the womb, our first experience of life outside the womb and everything after that has led to many places in our lives becoming stuck, frozen, disconnected and disassociated. We often are unaware of this so we cannot be fully present and may try way to find ways escape or disconnect without knowing why.
With Clarity Breathwork, we are looking at how we can unravel and release those places, come fully alive and aligned with our higher purpose of being and find and explore our true potential.

Sharing Clarity Breathwork in a group provides a safe and nurturing dynamic, and the field is amplified so we transform together.

Clarity Breathwork sessions can lead to deepened awareness, insight, intuition and breakthroughs. The process allows access to increased vitality and a sense of great wellbeing.  

 £20/session. 


INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS: These offer one on one support and the undivided attention that allows the unravelling of patterns and limitations at a deeper level. The session which last 2 hours involves sharing, intuitive counselling and coaching, as well as approximately one hour of circular, connected breathing. The emphasis is on increasing awareness of the present moment and allowing what is most important to reveal itself.

CLARITY BREATHWORK TASTER AFTERNOON

3:00 PM15:00

CLARITY BREATHWORK TASTER AFTERNOON

This is a free session and is for a maximum of 10 people so booking is essential and is on a first come basis.

It is an opportunity to try a group Clarity Breathwork session to see if you would like to come to the regular twice monthly sessions held on a Sunday morning.

There is more information on Clarity Breathwork under a separate page. The term "Breathwork" refers to the technique of "consciously connected breath." There are many different schools of breathwork and I was drawn to Clarity Breathwork  because it applies this connected way of breathing in a gentle way which encourages the release of stress and toxins from the body and helps us remove limitations from our energy and mind.

A practitioner will often be taken back to his or her first breath and this can bring great insight and bring about profound physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing. Connected breath is conscious breathing because it is continuous and it can stimulate an altered state of consciousness that then aids healing through the experience of feeling immense peace, joy, emotional release, insight, and expanded awareness.

The energy of a group session is powerful. Each group session is different as is each person experience. We begin with some questions, followed by a clear intention and then the breath is our guide. There ill be skilful support and throughout there is kindness and encouragement to help navigate whatever arises. It should be noted that healing is not always obvious but there will be insight and this is the key to changing patterns of thought and behaviour.
