Breathwork

Relieve stress, tension and trauma with a guided session from an ALTYR approved breathwork teacher. Different styles of repetitive breathing are utilized to release negativity and trapped energy resulting in a lighter, relaxed feeling.

Known to reduce anxiety and stress and can help alleviate depression and balance the nervous system. Can aid in pain management and body tention and trauma release. Good for lowering blood pressure, slowing heart rate, decreasing cortisol, increasing creativity and energy levels.

During your session you will learn how to connect your breath in a way so that there are no pauses between the inhale and the exhale. This type of breathwork allows your body to take in more oxygen than normal breathing, which helps promote natural healing. Conscious breathing exercises activate your life force energy, prana or chi, allowing it to flow freely through your body.

You may experience waves or a tingling sensation as this occurs. Certain memories or emotions may come up and be released during your breathwork session. Your ALTYR practitioner will help guide you through any difficult experience and leave you feeling grounded and relaxed.

Your conscious breathing session usually occurs lying down in a relaxed and comfortable position, so make sure to be wearing comfortable clothing. You may also prefer to have a blanket, pillow, water, eye mask, and pen and paper to jot things down after your session or as they come up. If you have certain questions or thoughts, it may help to set some intentions for your session, either privately or with your ALTYR practitioner.

It is recommended that you have an empty stomach for breathwork exercises, and an open mind for its effects to take place.

Understanding, interpreting, and expressing your emotions is natural after a good breathwork session, as you’ve likely made new connections between your conscious and unconscious. You may feel the urge to cry or laugh, or anything in between. Express yourself through writing, talking, or creativity. In the days and weeks following your session, practice your exercises throughout the week, setting aside time to disconnect from your phone and to reconnect with your breath. When you feel ready to improve your practice, contact your ALTYR practitioner to set up another session.

WHAT IS AN INTUITIVE READING?
An intuitive reading session can be a great way for you to explore an aspect of your life that has weighed heavily on your mind or to help discover where you should be focusing your energy. An intuitive reading is like a story for your thoughts, feelings, and patterns, allowing you to see things in a different light. Your practitioner may use a number of different divination tools to help guide the session and make a connection with spirit guides around us.

TAROT CARDS
Tarot is a common form of divination, where a reader will draw a certain number of cards based on your questions. Some tarot spreads involve just a few cards, while some include several. This will depend on your questions, your reader, and their reading style. Tarot decks are highly visual, with each card representing different ideas, meanings, or situations. The 22 Major Arcana cards represent archetypal figures of the psyche, making them universally comprehended. The 56 remaining cards are minor arcana, split into four suits, pentacles, swords, cups, and wands, representing the four elements, earth, air, water, and fire respectively. This structure of cards is the precursor to the modern playing card deck.

ORACLE CARDS
Oracle cards are a bit more free-flowing than tarot, following a more liberal design with no specific number of cards per deck. Oracle cards focus on larger concepts, providing insight into the big picture of your question. An oracle card can help provide a theme for your reading, or a combination of themes to bring something more specific into focus. Many readers may use oracle decks in conjunction with tarot decks. The oracle card would reveal the topic of the reading, while the tarot would focus on more detailed aspects of your question.

AKASHIC RECORDS
The Akashic records are an energetic library of the journey and emotional experience of all souls throughout existence. Intuitive Akashic record readings tap into the spirit realm to access answers to questions about your soul, patterns, and how to navigate the near future. It is helpful to have a question, idea, or aspect of your life you wish to explore for your reading. Your reader will offer insight about your situation or question, providing guidance to help you navigate the next part of your life. The guidance received in these sessions can be healing and powerful, and a newly gained perspective can indeed be life-changing.

Breathwork is a term that describes any practice that uses breathing exercises to improve mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. There are many types of breathwork, all bringing in elements from Eastern practices such as yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and more. The breath acts as a connector between the conscious and the unconscious, and between your mind, body, and spirit. This allows the breather to tune into their deep intuition, which will always direct us to the best outcome.
