Yes! Light-headedness usually occurs in the very beginning of the breathing. but it’s very short-lived if you continue with the breathing pattern. If you’re new to somatic breathwork, it’s very common to experience things like lightheadedness, tingly sensations, numbness in the hands, feet or face, changes in body temperature and energetic and emotional shifts. If the sensations become too intense, you can take a break and come back to the breathing pattern or practice a more shallow, slow breath.

As you continue on your breathwork journey, this experience will most always go away. You can think of the sensations representing stuck energy being released from the body. It’s most helpful to surrender to the process, trust the healing that’s occurring and remain open to releasing the energy. If the experience remains consistent with your practice (more than 10 sessions or so) it can sometimes be due to a lack of minerals and nutrients in the body.

Every body is different. Feel into what would support you the most — even check in with your body towards the end of a session to sense what’s right for you! If you’re called to practice daily, I recommend a shorter session (10-15 min), especially if it’s still fairly new to you.

In general, breathwork helps to regulate your nervous system, hormones and general emotional & physical state. The longer meditations tend to take you deeper into emotional and energetic releases & spiritual connection.

You can find longer breathwork recordings on healing emotional patterns, accessing intuition, clearing subconscious blocks, and relationship healing in my newest program Beyond Form or a library of shorter guided recordings in The Portal for only $22/month.

I’ll always defer you back to you — your greatest guide! Although there are some general consistencies with where we physically hold emotions (in different organs, parts of the body or chakra centers), but trust your intuition!

The body is always ready and willing to communicate with you. Breathwork will bring up what’s wanting to be felt, released and shifted. Consider:

If you were to guess, what do you sense you could be holding in that area? What did it feel like was being released?

When we stimulate our autonomic nervous system, we support the body in releasing stuck energy on its own. Whatever feelings come to the surface are asking to be felt, processed (perceived from a higher awareness), released and transformed.

When we use our emotions as neutral, energetic guidance and information (vs identifying with them) — we begin to heal. Breathwork is a great tool to help create space for emotions to arise that need our presence, attention and highr perspective.

When we suppress and evade our emotions, they continue to build and we experience things like anxiety, depression and even physical sickness.

Instead of trying to “get rid of” or avoid unwanted emotions, consider starting a higher conversation with them and the body. You may find it helpful to go into your breathwork session being willing to feel and understand the higher purpose of your emotions so that you can move into the greater wisdom (and healing) they truly carry.

Our bodies are highly intelligent and always guiding us towards our harmony, healing and highest possible state. If you want to learn more about healing emotions and moving through your blocks into your personal expansion, check out The Foundation Course and The Beyond Form Program.

Yes! This particular breathing process allows for a deep state of surrender and relaxation. In addition to the ego mind being at rest and the brain being in a deep theta state, we’re also stimulating the pineal gland, which is known to be a gateway to the ethereal realms.

It’s very common to be able to communicate with loved ones who have transitioned or to receive clear insight from your soul, guides and higher consciousness. Your intuitive self is your most natural self and the more you practice, the more open your intuition will become.

Yes. It’s normal to feel “raw” afterwards. If you feel particularly intense afterwards, take extra time to integrate, go slow, be soft and intentional. Ask your body what it needs — you’ll be surprised how easy it is to sense into what’s best!

With a little time and and a more consistent breathwork practice, you’ll move out enough of the stuck (stored up) energy —- and the physical and/or emotional sensations will subside.

If things feel too intense during any breathwork session, you can always take more shallow, slow breaths or take a couple breaks by coming back to a normal breath and jumping back in when you’re ready. You may want to go a little softer next time — but gently consider, what would it mean for me to integrate and honor this energy?

Not yet! Breathwork is just one modality Bree offers within her training programs, membership portal and classes but she doesn’t have a certification yet. Bree took her training with David Elliott and Danielle Herring. Finding the right breathwork teacher (and/or facilitator) is a unique and individual experience. For example, Bree had been facilitating groups and healing classes for several years so she felt the shorter training was sufficient and resonated with David’s approach and method. It’s important to consider your specific needs when looking for any teacher!

As with anything, please consult your doctor/birth professionals if you have hesitations or concerns. This is not medical advice. While pregnancy is different for everyone, most care is recommended during your first trimester. In general, if certain practices are already consistent in your routine (whether it's yoga, running, breathwork, etc.) there shouldn’t be any cause for concern. We've had women at all stages of pregnancy partake in sessions. If you do decide to participate, we recommend going easy and trusting your body's intuition as you move through your personal journey in ushering in new life!
