It is known as Bioenergetic Alchemy™ and has its origins in the bodywork philosophies that emerged originally from Alexander Lowen and John Peirrakos (the founders of Bioenergetics) and their interpretations of Reich\, Freud and Jung.\nSo in teaching Bioenergetic Alchemy™\, I am deeply grateful for all of my tutors\, trainers and therapists. \nI first discovered Bioenergetics in group therapy sessions in Pune\, India in 1994-96. And in the Active Meditations of the Indian Mystic Osho. I later deepened my knowledge of Bioenergetics with my therapists & teachers Guy Gladstone and Amadis Camell at the Open Centre\, the longest-running personal growth centre in the UK. \nI teach today an adaptation and development of my studies over the course of 8 years of therapy and trainings at the Open Centre. I am still developing this profound body of work\, and continue my studies. \nAs a coach\, I’m dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. \nI’ve been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years. \n“Words are inadequate to express the uniquely nurturing experience I had during your Breathwork class… and the music was amazing! “ – Alison \nOur Bionergetic Alchemy video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOrELWRAqkU \nTHE EVOLUTION OF BREATHWORK \nA variety of Conscious Connected Breathwork schools have evolved. With breathwork at their core\, they also combine a unique set of additional healing modalities\, including: sound\, bodywork and/or therapeutic touch\, water\, affirmations and coaching. Some psychotherapeutic modalities are: Rebirthing\, Bioenergetic Breath\, Transformational Breath® and Holotropic\, Integrative and Shamanic Breathwork. \nTHE BASICS OF CONSCIOUS CONNECTED BREATHWORK \nWhile many Conscious Connected Breathwork techniques have unique features and frameworks\, the majority include 5 universal components: \n\nNo pauses between the inhale and the exhale;\nActive inhale into the belly with relaxed expansion of the chest;\nThe exhale is passive (no forcing the air out);\nThe inhale and exhale is done through the same channel (mouth or nose);\nAn active intention that holds the breather\, as well as the breath itself\, as having an innate healing capacity.\n\nCCB \nConscious Connected Breathwork is a conscious\, intentional breathing pattern in which the inhale and the exhale are connected without any pauses. \nIt can: \n\nCreate changes in your physiology (e.g. alkalinity vs. acidity);\nIncrease your awareness of Self;\nProvide an opportunity for profound personal development;\nCreate altered states of consciousness. It can be practiced alone\, in a group or feel free to a book a one-on-one session with Seth.\n\nSeth Newman – Breathwork Facilitator \nMy role of the breathwork facilitator is to;1.) help you become aware of what is going on in your body; 2.) offer suggestions to support the process; 3.) help you maintain the breathing technique; 4.) observe you and provide general feedback; 5.) to alert you to signs of resistance; 6.) offer affirmations or remind you of your intention; 7.) suggest therapeutic touch or movement; 8.) mirror your breath or movements; 9.) help you to engage your body so that you can connect with your feelings\, remain grounded and present. \nLimitless Benefits:\nBreathwork has profound benefits and is an on-going practice.\nPracticing Bioenergetic Breathwork enables you to…. \n1) Oxygenate\n2) Restore\n3) Detox\n4) Gain Clarity\n6) Express suppressed emotions\n7) Release old tensions\n8) Amplify Energy\n9) Expand awareness\n10) Remove negative blocks\n11) Forgive past occurrences\n12) Feel empowered\n13) Cultivate inspiration\n14) Settle into a deep relaxed state\n15) Tap into your truest you\n16) To take a moment\, and really\, just really breathe. \nFeedback from our events: \n“A wonderful session\, very recommended! Seth and Dee create a calm\, magical space where you receive natural healing energy of relaxation and music. Flowing gently in the light hammock helps to recreate the atmosphere in the womb or in early childhood when you are loved\, safe and protected. This experience will bring you healing on several levels: physical\, emotional\, mental\, relaxation\, connection to your inner self and your angels. Many thanks for organising such a unique and absolutely fulfilling experience. I will definitely come again.” – M.Zhuravleva \n“Thank you so much Seth and Dee – I felt so comfortable in the hammocks\, I was worried that I might be claustrophobic as it looks tighter in the picture but not at all\, the material feels great and you can breathe freely. The music and singing were great and brought up emotions & different states: somewhere I actually forgot where I was. Also had some physical trembling in my body and movement of energy\, which surprised me. I left the session feeling relaxed and expanded and very present! Woke up feeling good in my body and very rested. A lovely experience.” – Alexandra \n“Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax\, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially\, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting. After a few minutes\, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears\, vibrating all the way into my body. The gentle movements of the hammock with the music in the background made me feel like a young infant being rocked to sleep. A wonderfully calming and soothing experience\, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great! I look forward to more of this.” – Navpreet \n“Words are inadequate to express the uniquely nurturing experience I had during your Aerial Relaxation Pod class… and the music was amazing! The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe\, suspended in the air\, slowly rocking\, with the crystal bowls and ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support\, allowing peace to flow into my entire being.” – Marrianne \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU WILL NEED:\n1. Please come already dressed in comfortable clothing suitable for movement/fitness and dress in layers. \n2 . Yoga mats\, blankets & cushions provided. \n3. a Reusable water bottle. Tap water refill available at the venue. \n4. A healthy snack to have after the session. \nSAFE SPACE \nThis class is an inclusive space focused on supporting each and every one of its participants. Please be respectful of others’ space\, property\, needs\, and process. Any display of antisocial or abusive behaviour will result in removal from the class without a refund. \nPERSONAL SAFETY \nA Bioenergetic Alchemy class might not be the most suitable setting for people with severe trauma\, PTSD\, CPTSD\, burnout\, and serious health conditions or those who find it very challenging to self-regulate (unable to calm down when emotionally distressed).
