LEARN DIMENSIONAL BREATHWORK

Dimensional Breathwork (DB), was inspired by different types of breathwork modalities and specifically from Holotropic Breathwork. DB is a powerful approach to self-exploration and healing which integrates insights from modern consciousness research, anthropology, various depth psychologies, transpersonal psychology, psychotherapy techniques such as EMDR and hypnotherapy, eastern spiritual practices and mystical traditions of the world.

The process itself uses very simple means: It combines accelerated breathing with evocative music in a special set and setting. With the eyes closed and lying on a mat, each person uses their own breath and the music in the room to enter an expanded state of consciousness. This state activates the natural inner healing process of the individual’s psyche, bringing him or her a particular set of internal experiences. With the inner healing intelligence guiding the process, the quality and content brought forth are unique to each person and for that particular time and place. While recurring themes are common, no two sessions are ever alike. Additional elements of the process include focused bodywork, self regressions, eye movement processing and desensitizing, circle sharings, grounding meditations and mandala drawings. DB is conducted in groups and individually. Within the groups, people work in pairs and alternate in the roles of “breather” and “sitter”. The sitter’s role is simply to be available to assist the breather, not to interfere or interrupt the process. The same is true for trained facilitators who are available to assist upon request or if deemed necessary. When conducted individually, DB is used as an effective, holistic, therapeutical and healing method consisting of 6 phases which are continuously guided by the inner healing’s intelligence and which can be taught in a classroom setting. After the successful completion of the course, the student becomes a Dimensional Breathwork Practitioner and may continue his/her apprenticeship and apply for the Dimensional Awareness Process Certification Program to become a facilitator in order to assist and conduct group breathworks.

PARTICIPANTS IN DB SESSIONS REPORT A WIDE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCES. FROM OBSERVING MANY PEOPLE IN EXPANDED STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS, A NEW “CARTOGRAPHY” OF THE PSYCHE WAS DEVELOPED BY DR. STANISLAV GROF WHICH DESCRIBES FOUR MAIN CATEGORIES OF EXPERIENCE.

1. SENSORY AND SOMATIC

This realm of experience includes various hallucinatory phenomena such as visualizing images or geometrical patterns. More commonly, participants report a greater awareness of an ability to act out somatic processes and bodily impulses.

2. BIOGRAPHICAL AND THE INDIVIDUAL UNCONSCIOUS

As in more traditional therapies, participants revisit unresolved conflicts, repressed memories, and unintegrated traumas. Compared to talk therapies, the unconscious material is more likely to be re- experienced than merely remembered. Participants report that this deeper processing is more effective at clearing traumas.

3. PERINATAL

Along with most other breathwork practitioners, we believe that the birth process is a traumatic event which leaves powerful residue in the psyche. Participants in DB sessions report having images, emotions, physical sensations and cognitions which convince them that they are remembering aspects of their own birth. These experiences help them release the birth trauma, including deeply held negative beliefs about themselves or the world; sometimes specific details can be verified and matched with medical records!

4.TRANSPERSONAL

Referring to the possibility of accessing information outside the normal boundaries of the ego and body, transpersonal experiences reported in DB sessions include past life memories, experiential identification with other life forms, out-of-body experiences, oneness with all that is, encounters with spiritual archetypes and connections with the collective unconscious.

The Dimensional Breathwork Practitioner Method™ (DBPM)

The DBPM is conducted on a one to one basis after the individual has left the breathwork group setting and can target more specific emotional and psychosomatic problems. It consists of the following six phases and is continuously guided by the individual’s inner healing intelligence and supported by the DB practitioner:

I- Pre-talk and preparation.

II- Dimensional Breathwork™ (DB), Age Regression (AR) and the Intuitive
Potentiation and Energetic Conditioning (I.P.E.C) method.

III- DB , AR , Forgiveness of Others (F.O.O) , Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and I.P.E.C.

IV- DB , AR , Forgiveness of Self (F.O.S), EMDR and I.P.E.C.

V- DB, AR , EMDR , and I.P.E.C.

VI- EMDR and I.P.E.C of all parts.

These six phases are not sessions, meaning that a phase could take one or more sessions to fully satisfy the structure of the therapeutic process of preparation, session and integration of all the conscious and unconscious material being processed.

These phases are not necessarily in a particular order as the practitioner intuitively deals with whatever emerges in the sessions and may “scramble” the phases as deemed necessary.

The student interested in becoming a Dimensional Breathwork Practitioner ™ must take the twenty-hour module within a retreat setting and show competency in the six phases shown above.

An apprenticeship program is also set up for the student who is willing to gain more practical “hands-on experience” in the application of the DBPM™.

This apprenticeship involves group Dimensional Breathworks where the apprentice utilizes these phases at the sole request of the “Breather” ( under the supervision of a Dimensional Awareness Facilitator and only after the “Breather” has left the breathwork group setting. )

The Dimensional Breathwork Meditation ™ (DBM)

The DBM™ is a guided meditation you can use to connect with your Higher Self and Inner Child in order to re-member who you really are and heal through the power of Presence.

This meditation is recommended for all those willing to become more Focused, Fearless & Aware.

Note: You may choose the length of this meditation which varies from 1 hour to 7 hours straight in a row.

The Dimensional Awareness Process™ (DAP)

The DAP consists of a minimum of one Dimensional Breathwork ™ (DB), a module (see list below), a grounding meditation and sharing and a self-integration process called the I.P.E.C.
The DAP can be conducted as a workshop or as a retreat which can vary in length from a weekend to six days depending on the number of DBs per individual. We offer these retreats/workshops to the general public which are designed both for those wishing to become certified Dimensional Breathwork Facilitators and for people just interested in the experience and the special topics listed below.

The DAP is particularly valuable for professionals such as therapists and health care providers, as well as for spiritual and self-improvement seekers.

The certification for the Dimensional Awareness Facilitator Program consists of seven, twenty-hour modules picked from the twelve topics listed below of which four are mandatory.

List of modules :

1- Basic Bodywork and Breathwork (Mandatory).

2- Modern Shamanism.

3- Playing the Cosmic Game.

4- Music and Dimensions (Mandatory).

5- Psycho-Spiritual Crises (Mandatory).

6- Living Heart Consciousness.

7- The Dimensional Awareness Facilitator.

8- The Psychedelic Experience.

9- Leadership, Awareness and Personal Transformation.

10- Letting Go and balancing the Ego.

11- How to Forgive to live.

12- The Dimensional Breathwork Practitioner Method (Mandatory).

In addition to these modules, twenty-four Dimensional Breathworks (DBs) are required over a minimum of two years and not any sooner as there is no rush or maximum time to complete the training.

The certification program also includes fifteen personal one-hour consultations with a certified facilitator, twelve apprenticeships during DBs and a closing ten-day intensive training and ceremony.

The practice of Dimensional Breathwork™ and the Dimensional Breathwork Practitioner Method™ require commitment and dedication to inner work, to the love of learning and exploring one’s own psyche and demand high ethics which are demonstrated daily through the Leader’s Circle of 7 Agreements™ . It would be grossly inappropriate to use these methods without completing the certification training program. Furthermore, only the persons certified through Southern Mystics Transpersonal Training have permission to call the work they do, “Dimensional Breathwork™” and/or the “Dimensional Breathwork Practitioner Method™.”

This said, I encourage you to join the International Dimensional Breathwork movement as a partner and/or as a participant.

In the hopes of meeting you on your personal journey and in
friendship.

Sincerely,
Marc
