Somatic Catharsis with Breathwork

Service Description

Psychological trauma and stress are held in the nervous system and facia as tension. This trauma can lock the nervous system in a fight, flight or freeze mode and perpetuates a constant stress response. Overtime this creates energy blockages which can lead to a host of symptoms from depression, anxiety, digestive disorders and even disease. Our body has an organic, integrating and releasing, healing response built into our physiology called the internal tremor response. Somatic Catharsis with Breathwork is a practice that taps into this internal healing mechanism of the body by using the breath, movement, sound and Presence to release energetic and emotional blockages through somatic shaking and emotional release. Through an integrated use of breath, shaking, sound and Presence, this stress in the nervous system can be transformed into greater health and resiliency. This practice uses the breath to cycle through gross sensations and subtle feelings, to then release any blockages through somatic shaking and/or emotional release. After several of these cycles, we then rest in Empty Feeling-Awareness (Witnessing). This practice uses the essence of Somatic Experiencing and TRE trauma release therapies, in combination with the benefits of Transformational Breathwork, as well as Presence meditative practices. Some benefits include: Increased nervous system health by allowing the nervous system to discharge tension and integrate higher order energy states. Increased vitality by increasing the flow of oxygen and chi and by eliminating toxins and energy stagnation through the breath and movement. Increases emotional resiliency and stability by releasing stuck emotional states and patterns. Increases Spiritual Presence by “Presencing” or feeling with Awareness sensations and emotions and allowing them to “complete themselves” and release. Greater body-mind integration and Spiritual embodiment. Please contact for more info.
