Sacred Return | A Breathwork Journey

With a mission to guide you in a sacred return to your truth, Chase will walk along side you in your journey to let go of old identities, help you connect to your highest self, and harness the love that you’ve always held within.

Through this Somatic Breathwork Journey, you’ll have the ability to connect with yourself on a much deeper level than you’ve previously thought possible, all while accessing different parts of the mind/body/spirit complex, and release what no longer serves you in your path.

Somatic Breathwork is a body-based healing practice that uses conscious, connected breathing to release stored stress, trauma, and emotional blockages from the body. "Somatic" refers to the body and the felt sense—this approach emphasizes awareness of bodily sensations and emotions as a path to healing.

1. The Body Stores Trauma: Emotions, trauma, and stress are not just psychological—they are stored in the body. Somatic breathwork helps to access and release these patterns.
2. Breath as a Bridge: Breath links the conscious and unconscious, mind and body. It’s a tool to access deeper layers of the self.
3. Non-Ordinary States: Breathwork can induce altered states of consciousness, allowing the practitioner to process unresolved experiences without needing to "talk" about them.
4. Autonomic Nervous System Reset: This work helps regulate the nervous system, especially for those stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses.

1. Intention Setting: The session begins with grounding and setting an intention for what you want to explore or release.
2. Breathing Phase: We'll be utlizing two different styles of breath. 1 round of in through the nose, out through the mouth, extending the exhale. 1 round of in and out through the mouth, keeping a nice steady rhythm and wave like motion of the breath. Both rounds will end with a 45 second inhale breath retention to focus on the tensions within the body, to then release them at the end of the hold. We will end the breathing phase with a guided meditation.
3. Somatic Expression: As the body processes and releases, emotions, movements, vocal expressions, or physical sensations may arise. Crying, shaking, laughing, or yelling are all normal and encouraged as part of the release.
4. Integration: The session ends with deep rest, followed by integration—often including journaling, sharing, or somatic grounding exercises.
