Breathwork & Somatic Experiencing

Breathwork and Somatic Experiencing are beautifully subtle, yet powerful tools that we have an innate ability to tap into at any moment. These modalities are simple, needing nothing more than your presence. I hope in time it will become as natural as breath itself to unconsciously tap into these practices by listening to what your body is signally you to reach towards.

Our breath bridges our life to consciousness, it unites our body to our thoughts. Whenever our minds become overwhelmed, our thoughts seem scattered, we may feel lost or trapped in a spiralling sense of sorrow or grief. The truth is that we all have the capability to use our breath and to come back to ourselves again. I was not ever taught the power of breathwork growing up, but I cherish the simple practices I have learned, turning to breath in times of need has been truly self-empowering.

Sound healing dances alongside the openness created in breathwork effortlessly and this is where the embers of my passions ignite. Every experienced emotion vibrates at a different frequency and we have an opportunity to transform momentary memories or experienced emotions such as sadness, anger or grief into witnessed experiences within the body, rather than becoming consumed or embodying the emotion as if it is us as our entirety, sound has the ability to resonate, transfer and transform emotions trapped with our bodies alongside our willingness to surrender into growing.

Our Breathwork, Somatic and Sound healing experiencing will be followed by a short time to journal or express what has risen in the session to complete the circuit. I am honoured to be offering a space for you to experience, to learn and to emerge in a trauma sensitive and safe way together but on your own path.

Participants in the Blossome Summer Self-care for Grieving Hearts programme will have the opportunity to participate in this session and together share a wonderful experience.

Important Notice:

This is not a formal therapy group, but the hope is that it may have a therapeutic value in your vision for a more abundant future. The workshop is tailored to be fun and informative. Blossome is not a crisis intervention service. We signpost to other services. Information will be provided at the session to ensure all participants feel supported.

Facilitator

Meet Serina Leach. Yoga has been woven into Serina’s life for over 20 years, she previously worked with children, tailoring her focus to those struggling with disabilities & additional needs. Consequently, Serina qualified as a teacher of Childrens Yoga, mindfulness and Arts Therapy whilst raising her 4 children before gravitating to more in-depth yogic studies; training in the teaching of Vinyasa, Hatha and Yin Yoga, within this process of self-discovery Serina became greatly drawn towards the studies of Trauma, Restorative and Nada Yoga (The yoga of sound). She has since qualified as a ‘Trauma Informed Yoga & Embodied Resilience Teacher (TREY)’, a Nada Yoga Therapist and is currently undertaking further training to become a ‘Trauma Informed Somatic Coach for Women’ alongside her continuing study to certify as an Emotional Release Bodywork Practitioner. Serina’s main passion is the empirical teaching of sound immersion, breathwork and somatic experiencing whilst curating spaces for those processing and navigating trauma.

The Venue

Q & A

Dress comfortably. Ideally wear loose, layered clothing as breathwork can increase the body’s temperature, where as the stillness during sound healing may make you feel slightly cooler in moments,therefor layers are a good choice of attire. Comfy socks and bed pillow would increase your comfort too but all other props will be awaiting your arrival as will I!

No, if tickets are available, you can enjoy this session even if you are not enrolled in the Summer Self-care for Grieving Hearts programme. However, you will experience more benefits if you take part in the 12-week programme, building relationships with the group, enabling you to feel part of the community and connected with others.

The 90 minute session will be comprised of guided breathwork, learning to inter grate somatic practices and will concluded with a sound healing session. No previous experience is necessary. Pathways to healing are varied and some you may have traveled along many times before whilst others seems less well trodden, i would ask that you just have a willingness to experience newness without expectation and know that the light of many shine upon the paths that we walk upon as one. After the session, we will enjoy some refreshments together.

The session is suited to anyone who has been bereaved or affected by someone else’s alcoholism or addiction. It will enable you to explore emotions that come up in a safe supportive environment.

After the breathwork session, you will have the opportunity to reflect on the experience and share with other participants as we sit and enjoy refreshments together.
