I was able to keep up with the tempo/rhythm throughout the entire session. Due to the extreme heat that week, I was struggling with fluid regulation, had oedema in my ankles and lower legs. During the breathwork, this system was apparently activated, as the fluid started to drain and found its way out through perspiration. One of the invitations beforehand was to allow yourself to let go completely, both vocally and physically. Expressing myself vocally I wouldn't necessarily do spontaneously but I tried during this session. By exhaling audibly in sync with the music. Because this did not really create a sense of release I tried to release via movement. By moving (sort of shaking) my arms and legs to the rhythm of the music while maintaining the breathing. This did have an effect. I felt myself becoming lighter, somewhat dizzy, but in a relaxing way. For a brief moment, it even felt as though I was floating. After the first breathhold an opening emerged to come closer to my soul and allow that inner voice to be heard. At one point, while a piece of music featuring a child's voice was playing, I found myself inside a kaleidoscope of mandala-like patterns. My attention was drawn to the colours because they differed from what I would normally expect in such imagery. Instead of bright, luminous, or rainbow-like colours, the mandalas appeared in deep shades of emerald green and aubergine. Although the colours themselves were dark and richly saturated, the experience carried no sense of negativity, only curiosity and fascination. After the session, at first, it didn’t feel that I had gone particularly deep. However, when I tried to stand up, I had considerable difficulty finding my balance and simply had to sit down again for a while to allow myself to fully ground before getting up. In the days that followed, I didn’t notice many changes in my daily functioning. However, the dreaming continued, which wouldn’t seem so special, but I normally don’t remember my dreams and the last 3 weeks I did. Also my sleep rhythm remained better than it had been before the breathwork sessions began. From all 3 sessions the last session was the one in which I experienced distinct psychedelic phenomena.

First off I have been doing some healing and breathwork before I started the group but felt I needed more or was missing something that needed worked on. I will say though the breathwork over the last 3 weeks has helped tremendously. The first one was a great session but nothing huge during the session. The next few days after physically was intense then it was like someone flipped a switch and the physical symptoms were gone. I believe it was emotional things working out of my physical body. I also got a message to help out with a group project with something I really believe in. Something I have been a part of but from the receiving side.Now I get to help and learn the back side of it and help others who are where I was when I started it. It finally felt like a door had been opened!The next breathwork I was called to movement. Things that I believe was helping me release deeper than the first breathwork. Then throughout the week I was given many signs and synchronicities that made a lot of sense and helping me find the direction I need to go in. It also helped me with the project I was helping with that started. A definite learning process but I learned quite a bit and still learning and thankful for the opportunity.This last breathwork something came up unexpected, Self acceptance. Was not expecting that but it had steamed back from a past life and also from the family line. They showed me a past life and where things started and that all has been released. What had been stolen was returned. They only shared pieces but I understand more what direction I need to go in. It's not clear exactly what yet but I have an idea anyway. This week I feel much more empowered and free. I know their is more work to be done but I can now see their is a light at the end of the tunnel as they say! Thank you @Victor Oddo the sessions were amazing & @Pattie Papa your voice is so beautiful and healing 🫶💫

Not sure if this is the right page to post this, but just in case it is,we'll,here i am. I feel a little embarrassed about the little message I left on today's zoom before I closed the laptop about 5 or 10 minutes into the session. I was looking forward to this session all week, and when the internet here wasn't going fast enough to keep up,I was instantly flooded with anger. I'm not normally an angry person at all. That was disciplined out of me at a very young age,and for the past 25 years or so, I absolutely mastered the art of hiding my anger so well, that I wasn't even aware that it was inside of me. Now I see there's so much of it that I swept under the carpet for so many years and it sometimes wants to come out all at once, and that scares me. I don't know how to release it safely, so instead I've been holding onto it because I'm afraid of the potential destruction. These first two breathwork sessions have already done a lot, and I can feel a major breakthrough is right at the surface now. I know I'm making progress, but dang, I'm at a bit of an uncomfortable stage,and my life is in such flux right now, the only solid foundation I have to stand on at this moment are these things like breathing, walking in the woods barefoot,and my intuition that keeps reminding me of where I was,where I am,and where I'm going. Anyway, I apologize. Interestingly enough, as I was about to step outside to go walk in the woods to ground myself, my brother happened to stop by,and we got to catch up a bit and he helped me with some other techy stuff that I had been struggling with, and several other neat synchronicities happened during our visit today that reassured me that all this happened for a reason. If there is a link available for today's session ,I'd like to try again. I hope everyone had a beautiful ceremony today,not that i know any of you guys, but I love y'all nonetheless, and I'm thankful to be a part of this group, even if the internet gets a little choppy lol. Peace and love and all those good things, ok then bye for now

yay, I got here, even though it was so incredibly tough throughout the weeks ~.~ I feel like I finally got into it with this last breath work, it helped to hear these common pitfalls so I could know what to focus on and prioritise for me. I didn't get very psychedelic, like the first time, this time was such a wash of relief: still found back the heaviness and fatigue from my situation, but I can clearly see now: it is something I can put to the side whenever I want to. I feel so happy! So different from the first time where I was spacing very hard, struggling to keep with the breaths, and content with some very superficiality. I also improved a lot with the movement and letting loose (sounds, emotions) contrasted to the first week. Oh how I would love to do this more often and get really good and deep at this :> Ahhh haha, The second time unfortunately I truly missed half of it, cause I was so sleepy :< so not much to say about that one. I am very curious how my weekly situation changes my experience with the breath work, and vice versa - sometimes it feels like a few days before and after my body is already in preparation for the breathing. Anywho, thanks Vic, Pattie, and all :>

Hey my friends, Great session yesterday! Pattie and I were very happy with how it all went and felt you all did a wonderful job. How are you all doing? Are you feeling more grounded by now? Any interesting insights? Any questions, challenges, concerns? Please, if you don't mind, in the next few days take a moment and share a few quick lines about your experience. It will help us really see where everyone is at. Thanks! Have a great rest of your weekend, Sincerely, Victor and Pattie
