While a vast array of experiences are possible here are some common sensory experiences. 

• Visual experiences of color, light, fractals 

• Extremes of hot and cold 

• Body feeling numb, tingling, movement of energy

• Tetany; intense numbness, stiffness in any part of the body but quite often occurs in the hands and toes. Your hands might look like claws with your fingers completely stiffened.  “Typically tension reaches a peak and is followed by deep relaxation. This represents a release of blocked physical & emotional energies. This makes it possible for represented content of related memories to emerge to consciousness and be integrated. This type of muscular tension tends to decrease with the number of breathwork sessions.” (Grof 2019)

• The recommendation if you get tetany is to let it be as tense as it wants to be in order to reach a climax and release.  However if the tetany gets too much you can always slow down the breathing and the tetany will subside in a short period of time. 

Any experience since your birth to present day.

• A memory or visual experience of a past event, often these will relate to experiences where you felt overwhelmed and/or suppressed emotions related to the event. 
• We recommend in this situation let yourself fully experience whatever emotion wants to be released. Whether the body wants to cry, rage, scream, laugh etc let it out. 

Psychiatry used to think that when we are born as a blank slate. More recent thinking believes that from the time we are conceived we do form body or implicit memories that may leave an imprint on the psyche that influences our lives.  

We use Dr. Stan Grofs, cartography of the psyche which maps the perinatal process into four phases each of which has its own characteristics and energies, simply explained below.  

1. The first phase is from the time that you are conceived to the time just before the birth contractions start. The Amniotic universe, floating, peaceful, passive, no ego.   
2. The second phase is when the contractions start, the cervix has not yet opened. Often noted as the no exit phase.  
3. The third phase is when the birth canal opens and you start pushing your way through. This phase is characterized by aggression, overcoming obstacles and sexuality. 
4. The fourth phase is when you are actually born and can be a death / rebirth experience. You are dying to one way of existing as a water being and being reborn into a totally new type of existence as an air being. 

Is a type of experience that is beyond the personal, an experience that you would generally never have in normal everyday life. These experiences that can be of a spiritual, ancestral, past lives, mystical nature from the collective unconscious.

Trance, sleep-like state where it may appear that you are asleep, you are not actually asleep. Instead, you go into a deep state of rest. You lose track of time and space and come back to a deep sense of relaxation and presence.
