Scott Schwenk – Ecstatic Breathwork – OneCommune

Learn how to use breathwork to clear blocks and upgrade your inner state.

We all must breathe–and thus we all have the capability to experience the profound physiological, emotional, and spiritual effects of breathwork.

Breathwork has been used for thousands of years to access the stillness that exists beyond the thinking mind. It is an indispensable method for supporting the body’s peak health and vitality, increasing concentration and awareness, and experiencing profound love and fulfillment from within.

This five-day journey, which includes both lecture and guided breathwork by master teacher Scott Schwenk, creates a safe, accessible container to begin (or build upon) a transformative breathwork practice.

What you’ll learn:

• A powerful, three-part breathing pattern that will optimize the body, digest old and current emotions, and dissolve the tyranny of the ego-based thinking mind
• The simple, accessible tools (such as laughter) you can draw on to deepen your practice
• How to use breathwork to tone the vagus nerve and reduce stress, anxiety, depression and inflammation and improve resilience and immunity
• How to use the breath to access non-ordinary states of consciousness
• How to integrate the insights you’ll gain in this course into your everyday life

Course Outline

Day 1: Body – The First Reality

We need breath for our body; we need our body to breathe. Scott teaches us how to engage the body in this powerful three-part breath that is the heart and lungs of the practice, and we get out first taste of an Ecstatic Breathwork session.

Day 2: Thoughts – What You Think Is What You Get

In Day 2, Scott teaches us how to dissolve habitual thinking patterns to make space for abundance and expansion.

Day 3: Cultivating a Chosen Feeling State

Today, we call upon an intention to guide our efforts before diving into a deep breathwork practice. Scott shares strategies, tactics and tools for using breathwork to realize our intention and our chosen feeling state.

Day 4: Transforming Difficult Emotions

We learn how to identify where difficult memories and emotions are trapped in the body, and how to use breath to release them.

Day 5: Ongoing Integration

In Day 5, we learn how–and why– to take this practice off the mat and into each and every moment of our lives.

Year after year, our experiences build upon one another, storing imprints in the body and in the nervous system.

These undigested past experiences can create blocks, preventing us from accessing the feelings of freedom and fullness that exist beneath the layers. These imprints cannot be ‘thought’ away; but, we can use intentional breathwork to bring them to the surface and clear them out of the body.

Guided, ecstatic breathwork is a simple but powerful technique to clear these imprints and create space to access and expand our consciousness–on and off the mat.

No matter where you are in your wellness journey, breathwork is a powerful tool for deep inner work and ground-breaking personal growth.
