Breathwork
by Bobbi Gay
The
Self Empowerment
Center @ LightSeed.com is comprised of Bobbi
Gay and Alan Cornelius. We both
have been trained and certified by internationally know therapist and
author Jacquelyn Small,
in a wonderful and exciting experiential technique known as Psycho-Spiritual
Integration and Integrative Breathwork. This work is a derivative
of the technique developed by one of the founders of the Transpersonal
movement in psychology, Dr. Stanislav
Grof MD.
Integrative Breathwork is often done in groups and can have a one
or two day format. The participants partner for the actual breathwork.
Music that is designed to activate unconscious material is played for
two hours while one partner "breathes" and the other attends
to them as a guardian of the space and provider of emotional support.
The music is very exciting and stimulates the chakras or energy centers
in a sequence starting at the root chakra and culminating in the crown
chakra or higher centers. The
one who is to "breath" lies down comfortably with a pad or
blanket and after a guided relaxation the music begins and the participant
begins breathing at a deeper and more rapid rate than usual. The types
of experiences that emerge could be energetic in nature, or there could
be a revisiting of something in the personal history, these experiences
could involve birth experiences or anything from the transpersonal level
of reality. That means past life, ethnic or racial memories, archetypal
experiences, cosmological experiences and a whole lot more. On
some occasions participants may need a focused kind of energy work from
the facilitators. After a break or the next day depending on the time
format, the partners switch roles and the other one "breathes."
This is followed by a gentle loving kind of groupwork. What makes this
Integrative
Breathwork technique
so special is that the material that emerges from the unconscious is
particularly healing for that individual experiencer.
Integrative Breathwork truly
is soul work; it is deep and profoundly loving and supportive. It is
certainly the most exciting work we've seen or experienced. We love
doing this work and encourage you to consider sponsoring us in your
area. The groups we can serve run in size from five to twenty. It can
take place in a large family room or a meeting hall. This is for explorers,
for those who would like to work with their emotions or other deeper
aspects of Self. It opens new horizons for those who feel limited or
stuck in their current therapy. This process has an opening effect,
which oftentimes reinvigorates or enlivens a person's ongoing therapy
process. Integrative
Breathwork is not advised for those with manic depressive disorder
(bipolar), schizophrenia or other major mental illness. It is inadvisable
for those with unmanaged high blood pressure, serious heart disease
or glaucoma. In the first case the transformational energies might be
too disorienting in the case of the later the concern would be that
intense releasing or catharsis could put too much internal pressure
on the body. Bobbi
Gay offers follow up sessions by phone.
With prior arrangement it may be possible to set up individual one on
one sessions with her either the day before or the day after the event.
We
encourage you to call 1.888.407. 8456 or e-mail Workshops@LightSeed.com
to discuss what the possibilities might be for your group. We will be
happy to talk about your questions and concerns. We look forward to
a creative discussion about how to accommodate your needs. It is our
excitement to do this work as it would be yours. Integrative
Breathwork
is the deepest work currently available, in our opinion. We
also offer other types of workshops. For
