SOULBODY BREATH® and conscious connected breathing are experiential breathwork methods that focus on the practice of conscious breathing and breath retentions. This practice is not a substitute for medical advice, and it is not a measure aimed at healing or alleviating a physical disease or mental disorder.

Due to its effects, the technique must not be practiced in the following cases without a prior consultation with your GP or primary healthcare provider first:

• Pregnancy
• Cardiovascular disease
• History of stroke
• Epilepsy or seizures
• High or low blood pressure (uncontrolled)
• High inner eye pressure
• Detached retina or glaucoma
• Psychosis, bi-polar, schizophrenia
• Untreated/severe PTSD
• Clinical anxiety
• Lung disease including asthma (have your inhaler)
• Recent surgery/broken bone that’s still healing
• Active use of recreation drugs, stimulants or hallucinogens.

In cases where any of these are applicable, the participant will be offered a more appropriate breathing method. By participating you agree to take personal responsibility for your process and health. Breathwork can bring up intense physical or emotional experiences, including altered states of consciousness, memories or suppressed feelings, dizziness, tingling sensations and energy release.

The Facilitator cannot be held responsible for any mental, physical or emotional challenges which may arise from this practice, or liable for any injury, loss, or damage of property suffered by the participant. This does not apply to damages caused by intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty.

In spite of all of the contraindications and health and safety info (which is very important), breathwork can be a liberating, heart-opening and spiritually enlightening experience.
