"I did not believe there is so much to find in just the breath. It's something we all do every day, but when it's done consciously and intentionally, and with loving guidance, things just come up from your subconscious mind. And the loving guidance from Jeanne was just amazing. Even though it was at times a bit scary for me, I felt her soft presence through every step of the way like she was holding my hand to get through it. Thank you Jeanne."

Breathwork

Transformation and healing through the breath

Breathing is probably the most underestimated medicine. As long as the breath is available to us, we live. From the first breath that anchors us in this life to our last breath that releases us from this life. But most of the time we know little to nothing about the treasures our breath holds. The air we breathe is available to us and yet we usually do not direct and use it properly to improve our well-being and our life. To breathe with a breathwork technique is not very difficult. It may take a bit of practice, but over time, amazing things can be transformed. 

What can I achieve through Breathwork?

There are many benefits of breathwork on the mental, emotional and physical level. Positive changes can occur quickly without pharmaceuticals or lengthy therapies (especially mental therapies/coaching):

What is breathwork with Clarity Breathwork?

There are numerous schools of breathwork. I am trained in Clarity Breathwork (formerly Rebirthing), a profound, nurturing and heart-centered technique. Clarity Breathwork has a soft and gentle approach (compared to i.e. holotropic breathwork), yet no less effective than other schools. It has fewer unpleasant side effects such as tetany (muscle spasms). 

 

Clarity Breathwork is a dynamic breathing technique that consciously connects the breaths and allows the breath to flow circularly. This allows in the first place to bring the awareness into the body and into the present moment. As the session progresses, defense and suppression mechanisms can soften which allows unconscious material to surface into the conscious awareness. This enables resolution or release of deep-seated blockages on the mental, emotional and physical levels. Integration in the heart and healing of deep wounds and injuries are the result. Each breath journey is nevertheless unique and shows us in a miraculous way what our innermost aspects want to reveal to us and what steps the soul is ready for. During the breath journey I remain in close exchange with the breather, providing guidance when necessary and holding a safe space with presence and empathy. 

 

When we consciously change the breath, we can directly influence our inner and outer states and thus bring about a change and transformation. My breath and my willingness to change my life in a sustainable way become the medicine and I become the healer. 

What does a breathwork session look like?

A breathing session can take place in my practice in Munich as well as online. A session lasts about 2 hours, 1 hour of which you will be just breathing.

 

At the beginning we clarify the topic, i.e. what keeps your mind busy or what activates you emotionally. You will also have time to formulate a clear intention for the session. The intention enables to keep the focus in the session and to give a direction to the inner process. I will show you the breathing technique and you practice first in a sitting position.  

 

For the actual breathing session you will be lying down comfortably. Usually, you will breathe for an hour. I will accompany you closely during this hour. You will be able to share your experiences in between and thus remain in close exchange with me. This allows me to give you guidance, instruction and compassionate presence at all times to navigate well in your process. At the end of the session, you will have time to express what you need to express to anchor your findings and insights in order to fully integrate the experiences in your day-to-day life.
