Transcend Today’s Breathwork will help get you out of your head and take you beyond the surface level of reality to a deep flow-state where you build intuition, harmonize your nervous and chakras systems and build new neuro pathways. Transcend Today Breathwork is easier than standard meditation and takes you to a place that might take years with standard meditation. Everyone enters at their own level for their own unique experiences. No experience necessary. When you start doing breathwork on a regular basis, you will tune, balance and harmonize your mind, body and soul and strengthens your access to your unique inner intelligence and intuition.

At Transcend Today, each Breathwork session offers a unique and transformative experience, as no two sessions are alike. Your journey is influenced by your energy levels, surroundings, and the facilitator's guidance. Some sessions lead to physical sensations, where you feel a tingling sensation throughout your body, as if all your chakras are being activated. These sensations promote harmony within your nervous system, resulting in greater coherence. Along with physical reactions, you may also experience emotional releases, such as laughter or tears. Transcend Today Breathwork promotes mental clarity and understanding, helping you transcend beyond your consciousness to a higher level. Our style of Breathwork is rooted in ancient practices that aimed to harmonize the body and achieve transcendence. The ultimate goal is to connect with your authentic self, raise your vibration, and transform your life. This is what we call the purple pill.

At Transcend Today, we use carefully selected music tracks to create evocative breathwork sets that guide you towards transformative experiences. Our music is designed to help you quiet your thinking mind and delve deeper into your practice. While any headphones can be used, we recommend using over-ear headphones like Beats for the best possible experience. Alternatively, our music can also be played through home stereo speakers, creating an incredible in-room experience.

**Please check to make sure your headphones work prior to session.

You will need a Zoom account and a device that connects to Zoom. Zoom is free and you can enter the session using whatever screen name strikes your fancy, with or without video. Your anonymity is at your discretion.

This device will also need to connect to audio, preferably with the use of headphones. Over-ear headphones provide the best audio experience but any will do. Cranking it over a home stereo also works well.

Find yourself a comfortable private space where you can separate yourself from distractions (pets, roommates, kiddos). It is great laying down or sitting in a chair, away from sharp objects or flames. Have a blanket and several pillows next to you.

An eyemask or cloth for a blindfold is helpful to ensure an inward experience.

Tissues and water bottle.

Pro-tip - applying some chapstick before you start your session will help with dry lips.

It is advised not eat or have a big meal a few hours before breathing. It’s more difficult to drop into the Expanded State of Awareness if your stomach is focused on digestion

It's natural to feel nervous or scared before a Transcend Today Breathwork session. Your mind and psyche may go into overdrive to protect itself from the unknown, fearing that something big or dark may come out during the session. However, these worries are a form of self-protection, and it's important to remember that we are all innately filled with potential, pureness, and goodness.

With Transcend Today's Breathwork method, your individual inner guidance chooses what it's ready to reveal and what you're ready to process, shaping your unique experience. Our sessions are conducted in a safe and comfortable container over Zoom, in the privacy of your own home. If you need any assistance during the session or have questions, the facilitator will be available in the chat to support you. So rest assured, you can fully trust the process and allow yourself to have a transformative experience.

We ask that you agree not to mix mind-expanding drugs and/or alcohol with breathwork.

Breathwork is meant to stand on its own and part of the benefit of the experience is that you start to gain more confidence that you have all the answers already within you and do not need substances to access this wonderful inner guidance that everybody has.

Confidentiality is important in these sessions so that all participants feel safe to share their experiences and be fully self-expressed during their breathing session. In order to be allowed to participate, everybody must agree to not discuss any other participant’s experience or anything that another person shares in a way in which that participant can in any way be identified and also to not audio or video tape any portion of the sessions.

After your session we encourage you to share your experience. Getting your experience out into the world right after it happens is a fantastic integration technique. We provide time after each session for each participant to share their experience, if they feel inclined. Even if you do not share, it’s encouraged that you stay and listen. Hearing others experiences will often help you draw connections and conclusions in your own life.

Additionally, we recommend journaling or drawing/artwork.
