CACAO CEREMONY TRAINING ONLINE - INTRODUCTION AND EXPLORATION COURSE


 

YES absolutely. We start from the basics and everyone is welcome.

Transformational Breathwork is a powerful practice that combines a specific circular (open-mouth) breathing technique with mindfulness and clear intention. Its goal? To spark deep healing, release emotional blockages, and expand your consciousness- I highly recommend that you come to any of my group sessions in person or online or book a private session with me before signing up on this training if you have never tried Breathwork before- so you know what you are signing up for.

Unlike many other forms of breathwork, Transformational Breathwork emphasizes a continuous and connected pattern of circular breathing with the mouth open. This particular breathing technique is designed to facilitate deep emotional release, promote healing, and expand our consciousness. The emphasis on diaphragmatic breathing, combined with the intentional use of the breath, creates a powerful experience that encourages the exploration of repressed emotions, energetic shifts, and profound transformation.

When you dive into transformational breathwork, get ready for a double dose of goodness. First, it's like a VIP ticket to deep relaxation. It's your body's way of hitting the reset button and activating those natural healing vibrations. And here's the trick - it's like giving your cells an oxygen boost, waking them up from the inside out. Have you ever heard of the parasympathetic nervous system? Well, think of it as your inner chill guru. Transformational Breathwork gives it a friendly nudge, inviting a sense of calm that's like a warm hug for your mind. Mental clarity? Oh, yes, please. This practice flips the switch on that, helping you see things with a sharper focus. Now let's talk about the physical tension we tend to carry around. Transformational Breathwork is like a soothing balm. It loosens those knots of tension, releasing them as you breathe. And guess what? It's not just the body - emotional baggage gets a ticket out, too. So if you're ready to let go and feel lighter, this practice has your back, works for me every single time!

The benefits of practicing transformational breathwork are truly abundant. Just to scratch the surface, it's a powerful stress and anxiety reducer that guides your body into a state of deep relaxation. It's like a mental magnifying glass, increasing self-awareness and expanding your consciousness. Your mental clarity gets a boost and your emotional well-being blossoms. It's like a release valve for trauma and built-up energy, offering a refreshing sense of balance in your mind, body, and spirit. Deep diaphragmatic breathing breathes life into your body, increasing oxygenation, helps with detoxification, and improving respiratory function. Tensions are released, circulation improves, and your immune system gets a boost. But this is just the icing on the cake! Transformational Breathwork is my go-to for releasing limiting beliefs and thought patterns that doesn't serve me anymore. It's like a mental spring cleaning that creates space for personal growth, empowerment, and transformational change. I have my daily breathwork practice to thank for who and where I am today - it has paved the way for my journey so far.

Absolutely, YES! Let me share this with you: Transformational Breathwork has become a dear friend on my journey to reduce stress and anxiety. It's all about the power of intentional, deep breathing-it's like lighting a serene candle within. And the beauty? That calm doesn't just stay in your breath; it spreads throughout your entire being. Your nervous system gets the memo, and a calm invitation takes hold. Tensions? They begin to dissolve. Emotions? They find harmony. And the best part? After each session, I'm wrapped in a comforting cocoon of peace. It's like finding silence after a cleansing rain. I just love this practice SO much!

In general, Transformational Breathwork is safe. However, it's important to begin with a skilled and experienced facilitator who can skillfully guide the process - like myself. Some people may experience physical sensations, emotional releases, or a slight feeling of lightheadedness during the practice. Respecting your body's signals is key, and don't hesitate to share any concerns with your facilitator. Remember, you're the captain of the ship. You decide how deep you want to sail. You're your own guide, and you hold the reins of depth and speed. If things ever feel a little overwhelming, slowing your breathing or returning to gentle nasal breathing is your retreat to calm.

Definitely! Transformational breathwork forms a harmonious partnership with various therapeutic modalities. Think of it blending seamlessly with practices like cacao-infused sessions, sound healing, yoga, meditation, reiki, or bodywork.

After this training you will definitely have all the knowledge you need to teach Breathwork in a safe way. Often what holds us back from teaching is experience, lack of confidence and a blocked throat chakra. This is why I incorporate that all students who want to get certified and hold space for larger groups of people to hold a minimum of 10 classes for friends, family, community to start gathering the confidence and courage to hold space - this is how I teach - I am all about embodied learning.

To this date, scientific research specifically focused on this breathwork technique is relatively limited. However, my belief in the power of personal experience and heartfelt testimonials is my science - they truly highlight the remarkable benefits of Transformational Breathwork. While research is still in its early stages, there's a growing body of evidence exploring the physiological and psychological effects of conscious breathing. This growing body of knowledge underscores the power of breathwork as a holistic path to wellness and healing- Just try it for yourself is my recommendation.

Transformational Breathwork is generally well suited for most people. However, it's important to be aware of certain factors. For example, if you're pregnant, have certain respiratory conditions, cardiovascular concerns, or a history of certain psychological disorders, it's wise to consult your healthcare provider before beginning a breathwork practice. Full transparency about any pre-existing conditions or concerns is essential to ensure a safe and customized experience. For those with asthma, it's a good idea to have your inhaler close by. Now, if you're dealing with PTSD, my suggestion is to consider a 1:1 session with me or another experienced trauma healing practitioner before delving into this training.​

Absolutely, YES! Transformational Breathwork can be a true ally in promoting physical wellness. It's like a gentle massage for your body's energy, releasing tension and improving oxygen flow. What's really fascinating is how it awakens your body's natural self-healing abilities. Believe me, whenever I'm dealing with pain or discomfort, Breathwork is my first choice - and it always works wonders.

I am all about healthy, clean food with as local and organic ingredients as possible. I work with some magical chefs and food is always a bit different depending on season and theme of the retreat but rest assure the food is always magical and if any allergies or special requests just let me know in advance. Normally we have tea, smoothie or light meal in the morning to not be full for our morning breathwork practice, then a more heavy meal for lunch and yummy soup and bread for dinner.
