Shamanic Soul Breathwork
Shamanic Soul Breathwork is a powerful tool that involves using a conscious connected breathing technique. This rhythmic breathing can allow you to access altered states of consciousness and facilitate emotional and spiritual healing.
What is Shamanic Soul Breathwork?
Shamanic Soul Breathwork is a dynamic and powerful breathwork modality. It acts as a quick way to get out of our mind’s way and drop into the body where we can return into reconnection with our inner self. You will transport yourself by the vehicle of your breath (healing medicine) into an altered state of consciousness. There, you can access and reconcile memories requiring further understanding, release trapped emotions and awaken your imaginal cells and future selves. Shamanic Soul Breathwork uses a powerful connected, circular breathing technique in conjunction with Shamanic music to take you deep into your body for healing.
What to expect:
During the Shamanic Soul Breathwork process, expect nothing and accept everything. At the start of the immersion, you will be taught a variety of Shamanic release tools to help you express during the process. This highly experiential process unlocks insights and wisdom that may illuminate areas where further integration is required, or ignite healing from the felt experience of the journey. It is possible to experience the full range of humanness within a journey. This sacred container provides permission to surrender and express your emotions fully as they arise, supporting your ‘journey’ to unfold as it is meant to for your self-illumination.

Trigger/activation warning: This practice encourages the authentic and uninhibited expression of all that arises in real-time. This could appear as screaming, crying, laughter or other forms of vocal sounding as participants release emotions. This modality invites you to remain within your own process and simply interpret other people's authentic expressions as their journey. If you feel a trigger response to another’s experience or if you require any attention 1 on 1 with Frankie, you can simply put your hand up and he will tend to your needs. If you feel this may be too intense for you, then a private session with Frankie may be more suitable.
Important note: Shamanic SOUL Breathwork requires a commitment to a cyclical breathing pattern and has the potential to bring about intense feelings which may result in strong physical and/or emotional release. This practice involves the voluntary hyper-oxygenation of your bloodstream, this activates your pineal gland paving the way for reaching an altered state of consciousness where you may experience new possibilities for your life. By adjusting the depth of you breathe you are always in control of the intensity of your journey.
Contraindications: If you experience any of the following: cardiovascular issues, high or abnormal blood pressure, bipolar, epilepsy, or early or delicate pregnancy, and wish to join, Frankie can offer you a gentler breathing pattern. Please speak with Frankie prior to the event, to consider if this practice is right for you.
Things to note:

Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 6:15pm - 6:30pm. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 6:45pm. Truly, it breaks our heart to have to turn latecomers away yet the disruption to the whole group experience by virtue of lateness does require management. We ask that you find understanding and consideration for the timebound nature of the container and make every effort to arrive on time.
