What is

What to expect during your first breath session?
Once you book first session, Christine will contact you via email and attach an intake form to fill out which is then either email back to Christine, or brought to your first session.
-
In the first half hour, the intake form is reviewed together with Christine, she will go over the principles of IBT and any questions you may have. Next, Christine will guide you in how the breathe using the conscious, connected circular breath. She will then explain the process of formulating a clear intention.
What emerges during a session varies, breathwork is a highly individualistic experience. You can never predict what will arise or what will be needed ahead of time. Leaving all preexisting expectations at the door and surrendering to the process will open up the opportunity for your breathwork to occur naturally.
Within all of us is an inner healer that knows what is needed to be balanced and whole. Whatever is essential for your healing will naturally come to surface.
-
Christine's role as facilitator is to accompany you, hold and honour sacred space. She is the mentor that reassures and champions your inner wisdom.. How far and how fast the breather allows themself to go is mitigated by the Ego and its defenses. The Ego ensures we remain safe in times of uncertainty and therefore your subconscious mind will only reveal what you are ready to bring into awareness.
-
Christine will ensure you are lying down comfortably, and has everything necessary on hand to provide the support you need during your one hour session.
-
Next, you will begin with slow, conscious, connected circular breathing, then increase the breathing rhythm.. Christine ensures you are grounded throughout your process and guides you as you explore stored layers, stress, emotions, belief systems. This process facilitates the emergence of the corrective response that serves your highest wellbeing. Then, breathers often express a sense of awe, aliveness and renewed energy. You may experience more than one cycle in a one hour breath session.
After your breath session
In bringing your session to completion, Christine will guide you in this integral part of your process. In this phase, with reflection, affirmation discussion, and various forms of creative expression you will explore a deeper understanding of your insights and healing gained during your breathe. Christine will offer suggestions and/or assignments to explore between sessions. This will assist with integrating your new found awareness and insights into your daily life.
