About Breath of Bliss™

 Breath of Bliss™ is a breathwork practice that infuses you with aliveness using breath, movement, and sound. Unlike other breathing practices, emphasis is placed on liberating oneself and achieving unity with others. Deep, circular, connected breathing is very different from every day or yogic breathing. Benefits can include:

  •  Enhanced sense of aliveness, clearing of blocked energy/emotions giving you more access to desirable emotions
  • Profound insights, greater brain connectivity, creativity, and focus
  • Freedom from stress and anxiety
  • Access to the unconscious mind to shed limiting beliefs and patterns
  • Greater feelings of compassion and connection to yourself, the Earth, and other people
  • Stimulation of the pituitary gland, the release of natural chemicals to access visions, altered states of consciousness and spiritual awakening.
