Conscious Connected Breathwork with Neurophysiologist Misty Khachatrian - 12/13 @ 4PM

Conscious connected breathwork is a form of circular and activating breath done in a controlled manner. The breath is done through the mouth to activate the sympathetic nervous system and various breath holds are utilized to increase or decrease the sympathetic activation. Not only is this a workout for your vagus nerve, it also provides an opportunity to affect your biochemical composition through changes in physiology through the breath.   The result of this sustained active breath creates an interesting experience that will be unique to you. These experiences include physical sensations, emotional processing, and psychological/spiritual realizations. These sessions will give you insight into the inner world of your body and mind that can guide you in your everyday life and path to health and vitality. Your breath is essential to your survival, but it can also be the a path for you to thrive.   You may be surprised as to how much of your mood is dependent and controlled by the way you breathe. Conscious connected breathwork has been scientifically proven to expand consciousness, elevate mood, and enrich overall outlook and is an advised pathway to clarity and stress adaptation.   Breathwork is a great option for anyone who feels like meditation is just out of reach, to difficult, or just not for you, but you are still interested in the benefits it could bring.   Just after one session, you can experience emotional relief or insights into your life that can bring you closer to peace, joy, and clarity.   The best part...you control the process, it is your breath after all! With the help of a guide, you will modulate your breath to activate your nervous system to a level that works best for you and your experience.   Please consult your healthcare provider or GP before taking part of this session if you are pregnant or have any of the contra-indications listed: schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, psychosis, epilepsy,cardiac issues, COPD, PTSD, thrombosis, aneurysm, high or very low blood pressure with fainting history, or recent major surgery.
