Once you sign up for a session you receive full preparation information. You will require the following:

• Comfortable clothing
• Don't eat in the 60mins prior to breathwork session and eat lightly in the 2-3hrs prior
• Earphones, over the ear recommended, airpods work also
• Eye mask
• Bottle of water
• Tissues
• Lip balm
• A curious mind & open heart

Physiologically there is no limit to how often you can do this practice.

I recommend you try the practice 3-4 times to get a real sense of the types of experiences.

Like any self reflective/mind strengthening modality a regular practice is required to see real change overtime. Whether that be weekly / biweekly / monthly is based on where you are at within yourself and what you feel called to do.

While there is no normal or typical breath work experiences in NeuroDynamic Breathwork we align with Dr. Stan Grof's cartography of the psyche. Based on his research and experience of altered states of consciousness check out further information here

An online 2hr NeuroDynamic breathwork session, includes several stages:

1) A 30 minute introductory talk, to prepare you for the session and includes the breathing technique. It is recommended first time breathers attend a minimum of two introductory talks, after this feel free to join the session 20 mins after the start time.

2) Following the introductory talk you start your 60 minute (unless otherwise stated) breath work journey to powerful, evocative music. Through deep rhythmic breathing and immersive soundscapes you'll quiet your thinking mind and tap into the wisdom of the unconscious.

3) Sharing circle which is optional to participate in but recommended to support your integration process after breathing.

An expanded state of consciousness refers to a shift in normal consciousness, where you may perceive reality in ways that transcend ordinary perception.

Expanded states of consciousness can be associated enegetic and emotional releases, profound insights, a broadening of perspective, a deepened understanding of one's own Self and the world around you.
