As a society, we’re in survival mode and largely dissociated from our internal wisdom, felt sense, and the moment. These reactive states can make us feel a sense of chronic spiraling or loss of control over our reality. The result is anxiety, chronic stress, hyper-vigilance, insomnia, depression… the list goes on.
The antidote is to drop out of the head and into the body to promote parasympathetic activation (our sense of safety). Learning this can be difficult, but there is a way to fast-track it.

The combination of breathwork and best practices of set & setting switches off parts of the brain responsible for rumination and excessive thought patterns. This allows us to be more present with our breath, feel safe in our body, tap into the subconscious, and make way for a somatic release of stuck emotions and sensations.

This practice can promote the growth of new neural pathways in the brain (neurogenesis). We can retrain our nervous system, so it defaults to homeostasis rather than fight, flight, or freeze. Like working out any muscle, repetition of this practice allows us to begin toning our ‘muscles’ of awareness and peace for everyday life.
The somatic progress made through this breathwork can move us into higher levels of consciousness and bring greater awareness into our lives. The practice orients us towards a more creatively embodied expression of life, where life is happening for you, not to you.

About the facilitator:

Anjel Carbajal is a Certified Breathwork & Psychedelic Facilitator in the Denver Metro region. He founded Aliento Medicinals, which promotes community building, healing, and accessibility of somatic and entheogenic plant medicines.

Breathwork is a powerful modality that helps individuals catalyze their healing and transformation journeys by connecting them to their inner healer and medicine. Anjel's sessions use a blend of ancient and modern modalities through a somatic-based, trauma-informed approach to address nervous system dysfunction and underlying physiological issues that prevent clients from becoming the creative force behind their lives and producing tangible change.
