About the event
>> Reservation in advance <<
The Awaken Breathwork session is for those who want to breathe better in order to increase their endurance, deepen their meditation or to address any stuck feelings and emotions.
Breathing is an ancient tool towards wellbeing and awakening. In this session we practice different breathing techniques to experience how the breath influences our awareness.
Jasper uses ancient techniques, breathing patterns, music and body work to induce altered states of consciousness. This opens up the pathway to forgotten or unknown emotions, memories, dreams, images. A deeper awareness shows us new possibilities, perspectives and clarity on life. Most breathers report peaceful feelings, deep connection to themselves and awakeness.
