I recently presented at a beautiful event called BlissFest, together with John Gray, Reena Jadhav, and several other amazing heart-centered presenters.
It was a sold-out fundraiser for FreeMeals.org. And it took place at the Firehouse Theatre in Pleasanton, California.
I also worked with a group of inmates at the California Correctional Facility in Vacaville. It was a very intense experience, and deeply inspiring.
It reawakened my commitment to the Prison Ashram Project inspired by Ram Das and Leonard Orr.
We are committed to creating a library of books and materials on personal growth, consciousness, healing, spirituality, and of course Breathwork. If you would like to support this project, please let me know. dan@breathmastery.com.
I also listened in on a “Reflexive Breathing” meditation practice guided by my partners in the Online Fundamentals Course, Angie and Shane of the O2 Collective in Australia.
They have elegantly blended a science based, physiological and functional breathing approach, with transformational breathing practices.
What they are teaching aligns perfectly with what we have been focusing on at my live training events as well as online seminars and workshops.
We focus on alternating between the balancing and chemically stabilizing practice Reflexive Breathing (The Triangle Breath), and Conscious Connected Breathing (The Circle Breath).
I love this approach. It’s where science can meet spirit. It brings us into the beautiful dance of doing and being: “doing the breathing” and “being breathed.” And I invite you to play with it.
I suggest you start with 30 to 60 seconds of Active Circular Breathing to wake up and stir up energy, then follow that with a few rounds of Still Point Breathing. This means using sighs of relief to drop down into an open pause of silence and stillness–an experience of pure being–at the bottom of the exhale.
This is a beautiful way to intuitively self-navigate and self-regulate the gentle and gradual journey of healing and growth, of inner awakening and transformation, of self-liberation!
This practice is good for deeply traumatized individuals, peak performers, health, wellness and fitness enthusiasts, meditators, and spiritual seekers. And of course, it’s something that Breathworker Practitioners need to master and teach!
Good luck in your practice and many blessings on your path.
