Contraindications List
HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE A CANDIDATE FOR A JOURNEY:
Conscious-Connected Breathwork results in certain specific physiological changes in the body and also can result in intense physical and emotional release. Please be aware that these sessions are safe, illuminating, transformative and deeply healing, and can sometimes cause the following:
Tingling
Buzzing
Vibrating
Trembling, shaking or other physical sensations, including spontaneous physical movement
Tetany (tightness in the hands or sometimes the jaw - we will guide you on how to work with it and manually release it during the live session)
Somatic (body) unwinding
Deep emotional experiencing, release, and catharsis
Trauma release
Experiencing life force energy (prana) moving through the body
Unclocking repressed sensual/prgasmic/shakti energies
Ecstatic kindalini awakenings (usually for more advanced journeyers)
Next is a list of contraindications for Conscious, Connected Breathwork.

The mRNA COVID Vaccination: At this time, clients must wait a minimum of 60 days after their final dosage with NO SIDE EFFECTS to engage in Breathwork. This decision has been made in consultation with our insurance company, health professionals, legal team, and through our own deep contemplation. At this time, the vaccination side effects are still too unknown and not covered by our liability.
Please make sure you *do not have any contraindications* to continue.
