Defining the techniques & specialist skills of Breathwork Mastery RBM
9 Defining points of Breathwork Mastery RBM
1. Emphasis on body sensation awareness as well as conscious breath throughout the breath session – it is a body/breath process.
2. Emphasis on self-mastery – individuals are self-generating their personal development process and are self-regulating organisms – Breathwork Mastery RBM is a creative tool.
3. Awareness of the process – when an individual is safe enough, supported enough, and ready enough, he or she will discharge unresolved past events – allow time and awareness in the process.
4. Application of well-chosen intention setting within the process – relate all the content of the breath cycle of the session to the intention in an integrative debrief.
5. Use of breath that allows a physical, mental, feeling or spiritual, transformational experience – start with conscious, longer than normal breathing, so it is connected and full, in and out the nose until or unless the nose closes. Stay with the feeling, it is hard to breathe or easy.
6. Allow the breath session to unfold with minimum intervention – use the debrief afterwards to integrate all the wisdom, inspiration or clearing that emerges during the breath cycle
7. Be present to, name and identify exactly what is happening on each level of the breath session, without adding any interpretation – gently amplify whatever emerges to create the environment for discharge of constrictions on all levels.
8. Awareness of safety – a breather can only regress to something that he or she has already lived through – any past event that is surfacing from conscious breath is because of intention – the inner experience is invited to surface, and any intense symptoms are immediately affected by a change in intention.
9. Agenda-free focus for facilitation with an emphasis on expanding self-awareness and self-mastery for the participant and the Breathwork Mastery RBM professional.
