Less is more
IFS + Breath class
We all know that breath work is a powerful way to transform consciousness.
IFS is constraint-releasing — it removes the burdens exiles carry.
Breath work is resourcing — it adds energy to the system.
Some parts feel very threatened by breath work. Other parts are aware it can be a way to work smarter, not harder, in our inner work.
This class is a place to balance the threat and the promise of breath work.
Using the Buteyko method of intentionally breathing less than usual, we will calm the nervous system and bring more oxygen to the blood.
The class is 90% focused on working with the parts who encounter difficulties engaging in breath work. Our goal is to locate and begin to work with the burdens that are triggered by slower breathing.
We are not here to breathe over and steamroll our protectors. We are here to do a tiny bit of breath work and help our parts integrate and work through the difficulties it brings up.
Because Butekyo breath work is so powerful, we will only be doing a maximum of six minutes of intentional breathing in the whole class. The remaining time will be working with our parts.
Due to its intensity, this is a one hour class. It is limited to four participants.
