The Breath Ceremony

The breath is the source of our Life in each moment.

Each breath carries not only the oxygen that sustains the metabolic processes of our physical body in each cell. It also contained life force known as: life energy, Prana, Chi, Adamantine Particles, 'The Force.' The reality of this substance-energy is unperceivable to our five senses.

Lianne and Linda use the power of the breath to create an impactful ceremony for release. The sacred pipe is present, as is the drum, representing the mother's heartbeat. Each ceremony beings with the participants stating their intention for the breath. Then each person lies down in a comfortable position, fully relaxes, and begins the breathing process.

For most of us limiting beliefs or unconscious thought forms restricts the full potential flow of energy in our energy field. This same constriction is evident and correspondingly present in our breath.

We do this through embodying fear. Every time we have a fearful thought the feeling of fear that follows or accompanies it simultaneously restricts the breath. That fear triggers the flight or fight response in the reptilian brain as a protective behavior common to all animals.

Anytime we perceive something as wrong or fearful and/or hold a limiting or positional belief, simultaneously we experience an unpleasant emotional response to that thought. In response to this discomfort we shut down the breath and the corresponding flow in our energy field.

Our energy field and our breath respond rapidly to significant shifts in our belief and intentionality and to infusions of energy through entrainment.

The cumulative effect of negative thoughts and restriction in our breath is such that most so called healthy adults are breathing in only 10 to 20% of their respiratory system while the rest of it is relatively frozen due to unconscious negative beliefs stored in the body and the energy field.

Conscious connected breathing is a powerful, tool for expanding and amplifying our energy field. This integrative form of breath work has evolved from rebirthing and transformational breathwork.

It is a specific breath pattern for increasing the amount of life energy in the energy field for the specific purpose of creating a temporary high frequency that will integrate thought forms and corresponding unpleasant emotional patterns through entrainment to a higher frequency, transforming them permanently, subject to our conscious intention.

Conscious connected breath is a very specific breathing pattern in which the inhale is relaxed, open and full through the whole respiratory system; the exhale is relaxed and simply let go to fall with gravity; and the inhale and exhale are connected with no pause between them.

The energy is pumped directly into the energy field and all corresponding aspects of our being.

In a full breath session this form of breathing would continue for about 45 to 60 minutes, facilitating a powerful clearing and amplification of energy.

Each session is guided by the intention of the breather in regard to what particular quality of expansion is desired.

Each breath session restores fluidity to some aspect of the energy field. Therefore it will open an area of the respiratory system to be accessed in normal breathing, creating greater vitality and physical health.

It will clear the corresponding emotional energy; remove the energetic support to the related limiting belief, thereby creating increased spiritual connection.

Since for the most part this is all happening in an aspect of our being where we have been previously unconscious, often our first clue that something has changed is the realization that our automatic behavioral responses in a given situation have subtlety but profoundly shifted.

The greatest power is accessed through the cumulative experience of continued use of this extraordinary tool, as the continued expansion readily and rapidly opens more and more of the infinite potential of our energy field.

As our confidence and familiarity with the modality grows, weekly self-session and brief daily use can create an amazing expanded experience of life.

The experience during the breath session itself has certain broad patterns of similarity but is basically unique as it is guided by the higher energy of your energy body, Higher self, or whatever you would term the Greater intelligence working through your breath.

Numerous symptoms of the increase in energy are commonly felt including: tingling, myo-spasms, numbness, transitory physical pain or cramping, emotional release, elation, insight, spiritual connection, etc.

The facilators' roles are to create an energetic container of unconditional love, safety and support; to coach the breath to open connectedness through instruction and physical and energetic touch as indicated.

By integrating conscious connected breathwork into our life, we invite back the life changing energy source by breathing more consciously, fully, and with awareness of the miraculous power that sustains our life. The power of this process has many benefits.

As we breathe more fully we gain increased awareness of our physical, emotional, and energy bodies and activate our chakra system, enhancing the energy flow throughout.

By consciously lovingly inviting the breath fully into our being, we open ourselves to a deeper more constant experience of who we truly are at our source. Lovingly opening the breath fully is the beginning of an incredible infinite adventure of expanding our life potential and connection with Self.

The conscious connected breath differs from our usual essential breath by not having a pause after the exhale. There is normally not a pause after the inhale in either our essential breath or in our connected breath.

The conscious connected breath is an Invitation to life to come in more fully. Metaphorically it is like running to greet your beloved's return.

Relaxation with full-connected breathing is essential in this active relationship with the Life. It is the expression of trust in both the inhale and the exhale.

Loving the parts of your body that have been cut off through fear is the most powerful way to work with the breath of Life. Love brings not just oxygen but Life Energy to these frozen or cut off parts of ourselves.

We begin each breath session with a clearly communicated Prayerful intention, gratitude for the Life Energy, and your own loving awareness in the co-creative process.

Feel yourself in intimate relational contact and communication with your Inner Self, your Guides and Angles, and The Source of Life as you understand it. Feel yourself release all that holds you back from perfect communion and joy.
