Breathwork Course TestimonialsJasmine (Midwife) When I came
into the course on Breathwork it was not with a lot of understanding of what it
was, how it was practised and what the effect would be. I guess I could say I
had a somewhat intellectual idea about it. The breath quickly became not just
an involuntary physiological activity, but my very existence. Being shown how
to breathe with integrity, meant learning how to breathe, deeply filling the three
major segments of my torso; how to breathe profoundly, learning that the oxygen
energised all my cells which reduced memory stored in them - like a computer data
bank. I also learned how to breathe rhythmically, in synergy with my heartbeat
which aligns itself with the breathing of our planet as demonstrated by the ebb
and flow of the sea. Breathing so deeply, profoundly and rhythmically, enabled
me to come to know myself more fully by releasing stored memories of events, emotional
holdings, and darkness held firmly in my body. I was not aware that my life was
so affected by "ghosts of the past". I have come to realise how the "ghosts" were
playing out, preventing me from realising my full potential. It is a journey begun,
and I know will continue as I surrender to my desire to be whole, healthy, joyful,
empowered - me. If it wasn't for the wise intuitive, sensitive guardianship
of master breathworkers, Daricha and Rachana, who held the space for us to nurture
each other as we sat for those who were having a breathing session, we would not
have felt so nurtured and safe in our journeys. I came feeling burnt out and depleted,
and now after 2 weeks I have regained my desire to go on with life, with a renewed
energy and appreciation for my birthing practice. It does matter how one is
born, and I have been given a beautiful, powerful tool to use, That I can employ
whenever my energy is lagging, my mind and body feel taxed - the breath - and
it's all within me naturally. This is a gift to me wrapped up by all the loving
support of the group, who have been outstanding wayshowers & teachers as they
shared their innermost happenings. The integrity of my sense of responsibility
in supporting birthing mothers and the welcoming of their new babies, is filled
with a freer joy than I have experienced before. It is indeed profound. Thank
you so much. Jasmine. Roman Urbanski (Naturopath) I have
just completed a journey of (re)discovery which took me to a place of (re)connectedness
with myself, with other people, with the nature of things and most profoundly,
with my heart. It was a journey inside myself, and beyond myself, which left me
with a feeling of great peace and contentment. I learnt tools to help me transform
the trials and challenges of life into opportunities for growth. The teaching
has given me a greater awareness and understanding of myself, the dynamics of
family, and an insight into what is possible for all people and society in general.
The framework of theory and practical experience through the breath was revelatory
at times, and transformative. I have witnessed people unearth deep pain and emotional
holdings, transforming them into peace, love, hope, contentment, forgiveness and
joy. The temple space is held with such a deep abiding love and passion for
this work and for each person's individual and communal journey. The natural setting
of the Centre, and the proximity with nature only facilitates and deepens the
experience of the journey within, and the subsequent re-emergence. Literally I
went in a grub, and came out a butterfly. With love and profound peace, Roman
Naomi Audette (Dance Teacher) This work enabled me to break through
holding patterns and resistances in an organic way, through trusting the breath.
Through breathing I was able to unlock and release painful experience and imprinting
from my conception, birth, past lives and physical memories. These experiences
took me into different realms of consciousness and deep places of healing and
grace. Many layers of emotional trauma have been healed. I feel like I have been
recalibrated on a cellular level to open to a clearer expression of my spirit.
The experiential nature of the teaching allowed an embodied understanding and
resonance of the work. There was a good balance of conceptual and theoretical
knowledge and practice which provided a framework for reflecting on our experiences.
The residential retreat, surrounding nature, and sacred temple space, allowed
me to drop deeply into my own process of unfolding. Witnessing and reflecting
upon others journeys created deep bonding experiences within the group. All in
all it was a transforming journey, and one which draws me to continue both as
a client and practitioner. The space was beautifully held by Daricha and
Rachana, who are inter-cellular and inter-dimensional guides, leading us into,
out of and through the work with warmth, safety, insight and humour. Thank
you for this awakening journey, Naomi |
