Tap into your ability to control your breathing to improve your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Experience patterns of breathing that will induce physiological and psychological effects that can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, enhancing relaxation, focus, and creativity.
Surround sound headphones will be utilized to enhance your guided breathing and meditation practice. We'll be using binaural beats and different frequencies so you can sink deeper into meditation and achieve a more profound sense of relaxation and focus. Plus, the surround sound headphones can help you detach from outside distractions and enter a state of deep reflection.
Mats and headphones will be provided by Marty. For more information we encourage you to check out www.justbreathe1234.com. This session will be held after hours. Please arrive by 5:50 pm (10 minutes before the session begins and before the shop closes) to settle in for a truly unique breathing and meditation experience.
So What is Breathwork?
Do you want to tap into your body’s innate intelligence to heal itself? Breathwork is an Evidence-Based practice of deep rhythmic breathing that allows you to bypass the mind chatter and go straight into the subconscious. When you do not have to fight through conditioned false beliefs, negative self-talk, and old patterns, you can go straight to where the blocks are and to what is holding you back from living a life you truly desire. You enter an altered state of consciousness, also referred to as a non-ordinary state, where a phenomenon called transient hypo frontality occurs. In this state, your prefrontal cortex in the brain, the home of the conscious rational mind, slows down temporarily. This allows you to tap into layers buried deep in the subconscious and psyche. The brain shifts from alpha to theta brainwaves putting you into a meditative state. In this state, massive shifts can occur. The imagination and intuition are activated, which allows new ideas and inspirations to emerge.
About Your Facilitator Marty Bugbee, Owner of Metamorphose Breathwork
Marty came upon Breathwork after a lifetime as a first responder and military veteran. As such, he found he was constantly in a mental state of anxiety, referred to in psychology as Frequent Alert and Fight or Flight. He was exposed to many traumatic situations as a matter of routine and relied upon a limited variety of traditional mainstream coping strategies, some healthy and some not so healthy. While exploring various healing modalities, he attended a shamanic healing retreat in Costa Rica. There, he was introduced to the practice of Breathwork. After one session it felt “Life Changing” and was the missing element he had been looking for in his healing journey. After several sessions, each one yielding a breakthrough in unlocking hidden traumas and blocked emotions, he became aware of some root causes for his discomfort and feelings of being stuck. Breathwork allowed him to elevate into a space of joy he was unable to achieve through any other past approaches. It is his life's purpose to spread this amazing thing he's found to the many people who feel a need for healing and mental and emotional peace.
