Somatic Breathwork & Immersive Sound Journey

Somatic Breathwork™ is a unique approach to releasing stress, trauma, emotions, and pent-up energy from the body. It involves using your breath to shed layers of yourself that no longer serve you. Through a circular diaphragmatic breath, Somatic Breathwork™ taps into your body's innate intelligence to locate areas that need clearing. With the help of immersive music, this technique may result in various forms of emotional release such as laughing, moving, crying, yelling, and shaking. All forms of expression are encouraged, as they allow the body to move any stuck energy and create space for the second half of the breathwork session.

By giving yourself permission to move stagnant energy, you can heal your mind and body. Suppressing your emotions causes not only psychological harm but also physical harm. Our emotions are energy, and they want to be expressed and move. When we numb ourselves, it takes up more energy from our nervous system and our bodies, than it does to allow ourselves to simply feel.

The state of our nervous systems affects how we show up in the world and our most intimate relationships. A dysregulated nervous system can cause us to become stuck in a sympathetic response (anxious, irritable, unable to sit still or rest) or in a parasympathetic response (lethargic, depressed, unmotivated) usually uncontrollably bouncing between the two states. However, a regulated nervous system allows us to choose which state we want to be in. By giving the body permission to move stagnant energy and finish a coping response, we signal our nervous system that the threat is over and it is safe to be present and relax.

In the second half of the session, a gentler breathing technique is used to help you connect with your true self. This technique encourages you to call inward your insights, dreams, and purpose. Together, we can use the breath to call in how you want to show up in the world and the changes you want to embody, allowing you to see clearly what it would be like to live your best life.

Somatic Breathwork™ can leave you feeling clearer, lighter, aligned, and inspired.

The experience will then transition smoothly into an immersive sound journey led by Natalie Vescio, Owner of Althea West. There will be a gentle guided meditation as the sound begins to take your consciousness and spirit to new levels of awareness and enlightenment.
