The 4 levels

This level focuses on the physical and mechanical side of breathing. We learn to breathe more efficiently, using the whole respiratory system, supported by the facilitators and the tools of the method.

We begin to become aware of how we breathe and, by observing it closely, we can identify and work on limiting breathing patterns. As the breath becomes more open, activated and connected, we contact our natural capacity for self-healing, awakening energy and vitality on a physical, mental and emotional level.

This level aims to remove the reasons that had blocked our breath. Once open and connected, the breath – life energy, prana – generates high-vibration energy that stimulates the unconscious, bringing up repressed emotions, thought patterns, family or cultural conditioning and behaviours that limit daily life.

In this way we can integrate into our consciousness what was denied, repressed or neglected in the past: a work of reconnection with the original nature of our being, learning to recognise and welcome in others what we have denied within ourselves. Valuable tools for working with the unconscious are used at this level, such as The Work of Byron Katie.

Connecting with what we have found and denied within ourselves, we realise that we are energy in constant motion, frequencies and vibrations. Emotion is energy in motion, and repressing it can disturb the energy flow, leading to emotional imbalances such as stress and anxiety.

Deep tensions stored emotionally in the body and in the respiratory system create bodily resistances linked to caged emotions and feelings. Working with the breath, we allow false habits, anxieties, fears and conventional constructs stored over a lifetime to surface directly.

When blocked energies are released, limiting beliefs lose their strength, allowing our inner truth and a sense of wholeness and harmony to emerge. This level allows us to connect consciously with the highest part of our Being, opening the door to wider and deeper states of consciousness.

Integrating the unconscious, even partially, fosters a greater union between spirit and matter. True inner rebirths can happen, also through special practices such as breathing in water, dry birth breathing and new advanced breathing methods, including The Presence Process by Michael Brown.
