What is Awakening Vision's Breathwork?

There are many ways to approach the understanding of our essential divine being and our consciousness as life.  One approach is that of sacred breath work, an ancient process that offers many gifts for the evolution of understanding our creation and that which is life in all of its beautiful manifestations.  Awakening Visions Breathwork is just such an approach.  It is a marriage between the ancient practice of sacred breath work and the ancient teachings of the Toltec.  It is a practice of using breath in an intentional and directed way that allows the ego-mind to move aside as the truth of the authentic self emerges to deliver a message resulting in a clear language of awareness that begins to cultivate in our lives.
 
Breath is the essential component of life. In human form we are hardwired to sustain our bodies with the element of breath as food to live.  Breath nourishes our bodies with universal life-giving information we utilize in the creation of our humanness.  Breath is light filled with information.  It is our road to truth as life sees it, not as our minds tell the story.  Our beautiful minds have the phenomenal capacity to imitate life; through our imagination we create many worlds, many universes and the points of perception that shape them.

With the magical component of the mind we receive and perceive information and create reflections of life.  We experience our personal creations through our points of view, our personal inventory, the places where we are aligned with life, the places that bring us no happiness, freedom, and pleasure, the beliefs in lies we invested in. and with our faith we make them real.  Seeing and feeling the pulse of our perceptions in relationship with life creates the battlefields of our desires.

 Through the ages the mind has been a powerful tool in our personal challenge with the truth of life, and the body has been under its command.  However, many sacred traditions see the human form as a temple wherein we reside on planet Earth, and the mind in service to truth.  Within the temple dwells the one whose path through experience and desire seeks to touch God, the Creator, and to discover the part humanity plays in creation.

The process Awakening Visions Breathwork employs begins by first preparing a place where the work is to be done in a way that will comfort the body.  Once done, a safe container is created with the power of intent through sacred ceremony.  The intent is to awaken to the body’s awareness and relate to the human struggle gently.  The journeyer then lays on a pallet on the floor with a co-journeyer at the side to assist in whatever ways are needed.  The Breathwork Facilitator continually moves through the space to assist, hold space and oversee the process in its entirety.  Evocative music is used to enhance the journey within the safe container.  With eyes closed, after a period of relaxing, the journey begins as the journeyer is guided to breathe in a connected cyclical rhythm that helps create a dreaming state that will open him/her to portals that allow the sacred information of life that breath offers to be given. 

The continuous cyclical breath opens the journeyer to life as truth, and illuminates the places where distorted perceptions of life were formed from unloving points of view.  While the ego-mind rests, the journeyer experiences these points of view through the body as visions, feelings of emotions, body sensations or transpersonal connection to All That Is.  During the process healing touch is used to move energies that are within life’s natural rhythms resulting in a more aligned and refreshed energetic connection with life.  After the previously set time has passed to do the work, the journeyer is slowly brought back to the present moment where the experience can be absorbed and processed. 

The results of this experiential work are:

The experience is as individual as the person experiencing the process and their internal healer. We conclude the process with mandala drawing or other artful avenues.  Then the experience is processed to further integrate the information into a new language and understanding to utilize in our new creation of the life’s present experience.  Moving from the mind’s ego rule to the body’s understanding of the heart’s gentle persuasion, our authentic life that is now more clear and available to create and enjoy.

As life we cannot perceive what we already are, we can only reflect on the mind’s overlay of the truth in which we reside.  The intention of this sacred process is to align with and create a new approach to life and perception that allows our mind and logic to become allies to life.  The experience of life as life based in the body, offers the freedom and respect to no longer create from the perception of the mind.  Evolving into a deeper relationship with life frees us to honor this moment’s gift of life where the mind is in service to life…moment to moment, life to life.
