The power of breath work alone can fill pages. Daily meditative breath practices are an incredible way to maintain a bedrock of mental strength, emotional resilience, and conscious awareness to enhance your life, work, relationships, and self-knowledge. When practiced in a long-format 'shamanic' or 'holotropic' style, the effects are compounded and intensified a hundredfold.

This therapeutic breath practice helps purge the collected frustrations, unresolved emotions, long-held traumas, or simply day-to-day stressors that compound over time. There are daily habits to maintain, and then quarterly or monthly habits to clear the slate and profoundly level-up in your self-knowing, loving, caring.

Bring your worries, heaviness, regrets, fears, and general psychic junk and breathe it all back to a place of harmony, acceptance, trust, connection and healthy letting go.

Couple this with the long-known practice of cold water immersion and you are set to reinvigorated your every cell with life, alignment and power.
