A Mindful Somatic Experience
A Mindful Somatic Experience
IMPORTANT NOTES ON THE EXPERIENCE
This can be painful, and emotional, and your hands and mouth can tighten up. Your hands might claw up in what is called tetany. It is completely normal. Your eyes might roll back, you might get very cold, or begin to sweat like you're in a sauna. Just know all of that is normal.
Your body is detoxing, your nervous system is detoxing and rebalancing, and you are moving your consciousness into an altered state. You may begin to access your subconscious or have an out-of-body astral travel experience because your lungs may release a microdose of DMT. This is what helps us access the subconscious mind.
Just know, you are safe and no one ever died of breathing. You are taking in more oxygen than letting go of carbon dioxide so you will feel the effects. You can go fast or slow depending on the experience you are ready for that day of your practice.
Breathwork detox can have lasting effects of detoxing for a few days. Your body may begin to purge waste emotionally, physically, and mentally. Allow it to do so. You are not sick, you are healing.
