Physiologically it makes sense since up to 70% of body waste is eliminated through our breathing; breathing fully and freely supports us in cleansing and purifying on all levels. Breathwork is one of the purest and most effective techniques to release stress and tension, bring awareness and resolution to old trauma trapped in the physical body, and assist us in accessing our own internal healing energy. By learning to breathe consciously and fully, we can experience a heightened awareness of ourselves and the patterns in our life, and we are able to more easily discover the old imprints and limiting beliefs held in our subconscious mind. This expanded level of consciousness stimulates our natural ability to transform these old thoughts and patterns and return to a deeper sense of calm and wholeness.

Clarity Breathwork has evolved out of the work of the International Breathwork and Rebirthing Community, originally founded through the pioneering work of Leonard Orr, and advanced by the dedication and practice of Sondra Ray and many others. Dana Delong has been practicing and refining Rebirthing and Breathwork techniques for over two decades, and is very skillful in holding a safe and nurturing space for her clients. From this place, one can come to a deeper level of attentiveness within and discover treasures hidden beyond conscious awareness.

“Having been a therapist for almost 20 years I have been profoundly amazed at the capacity of the gentle breathing process of Clarity Breathwork to awaken and unblock painful memories, release deeply held negative beliefs and allow a natural state of forgiveness and acceptance to evolve.

Clarity BreathworkTM Training Program, Levels I, II, III, and IV

Level I: Transformation and Breath

This two-day intensive provides the opportunity to accelerate your own personal and spiritual growth. We provide information on the components of Clarity Breathwork: the breath itself, metaphysical perspective, and the breathwork community. Working from the premise that beliefs are creative, participants explore how imprints from birth, early childhood, and past lives may be affecting their lives now. Breathwork sessions and transformational processes guide participants to release these imprints and limiting thoughts and beliefs from the cells of their bodies. Core limiting beliefs are identified and transformed. Forgiveness processes assist in letting go of old beliefs, patterns and resentments. Increasing the attention and focus on the truth of who you are aids in embodying and living it!

Depending on which trainers are teaching this component, various emphases may be offered such as:

• Breath, Transformation & Movement
• Breath & Relationship
• Breath, Sacred Sound & Transformation

"The Sanskrit word for breath is 'prana,' meaning 'life-force,' the vital energy that flows through our being. Active conscious breathing engages specific breathing techniques to open the respiratory system, raise the frequency in the body, and integrate repressed emotions. Breath is always now, beyond mind and form, and connects us with the true essence of our being."
