Breathe with a Ghost!

Conscious Connected Breathing is the technique behind a guided breathing experience sometimes called "rebirthing." These sessions can induce peak states of consciousness, clear out the effects of adversity, and bring about profound states of relaxation. I generally only perform these sessions in person because they are so powerful. It's like dying and being reborn. A typical session takes about 4 hours, which includes training and preparation, about 90 minutes of active breathing, and time for integration afterwards.

Pranayama yoga, which is a Sanskrit word meaning "controlling energy" through the breath, involves several breathing techniques designed for daily practice. I place a strong emphasis on nadi shodhana pranayama, which is a technique that involves controlling the four phases of the breathing cycle (inhalation, internal retention, exhalation, external retention) at specific ratios. This technique is exceptional for increasing concentration, reducing stress, cultivating self-awareness, and developing the skill of meditation. It's a process of daily purification for the mind, body, soul, and spirit!

Just as "emotional intelligence" can have positive impacts on organizations and individuals, so too can cultivating "spiritual intelligence" (SI) have similar effects on wellness, resilience and leadership. SI revolves around cultivating traits like inner-directedness, mindfulness, and meaning-making. With a master's degree in consciousness studies (and ongoing PhD studies focused on the same), I'm well-positioned to help you integrate this challenging and meaningful topic into your life. By strengthening ourselves, and by deepening our capacity for spiritual consciousness, we can improve our lives and our ability to make a positive impact on the world around us.
