Preparation before Session

PRESENCE IS KEY

Read the following tips & tools to be best prepared for your Breathwork Session. Especially recommended for Kevada Breathwork / deep activating sessions.

Below are possible guidelines, intuitively decide what resonates the most with you and prepare yourself from there.

  • Our nutrition has a great impact on our inner digestion and outer comfort. Especially heavy foods (eg. processed meals) and “false stimulants” like coffee, energy drinks, drugs, produce an overdrive pace - forcing your digestive system to work at high speed and your nervous system to switch into fight or flight (stress response). Become aware of your intuitive eating and listen to your body what it needs. If possible, try to cut out any false stimulants and heavy foods on the day of your session. Treat you body with love.

    • eat light before session (more vegetables & fruits)

    • increase water intake before and after session

Integration after Session

THE IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRATION

AFTER YOUR SESSION

Always remember that the integration of a session is a deeply personal, unique and transformative process that unfolds over time. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Trust in your inner self, be patient with yourself and allow the experience to guide you as you continue to grow and evolve.

A session may be transformative and impactful, that may shift the understanding of yourself or others. However, for the experience to have lasting effects and meaningful change, one of the most important steps is to integrate it into one's life intentionally. For real change, it is primary crucial to step up for yourself - putting in effort even if sometimes that seems hard in the moment.

OBSERVING, BECOMING AWARE AND INTEGRATING THE EXPERIENCE IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.

  • Taking time to reflect on the experience in your personal way. Journaling about it, transforming the experience into art (Painting, Music etc.) or discussing it with a trusted friend or family member can help deepen your understanding of its significance and insights.

  • Engaging in somatic and mindful practices such as meditation or yoga, can help you stay connected to the essence of the experience and cultivate a sense of awareness in your daily life.

  • Engaging in further study, reading and trying new practices related to the experience can deepen your understanding and provide additional insights. Check out recommended books and more in the Science Hub.

  • Spending time in nature and connecting with the natural world can help ground you and provide a sense of peace and harmony as you integrate.

  • Acknowledging and processing any intense emotions that arose during or after the experience, such as joy, anger, or confusion, can help you make sense of the experience and integrate its emotional impact into your psyche.

  • If questions arise after a session, seek guidance from Jasmin. This can provide clarity and support in the integration process. Talking and opening up often feels like the biggest challenge but it is also the first step for acknowledging yourself and the key for growth.

  • Recognizing that integrating may lead to changes in your behavior, relationships, or life path, and being open to these shifts with acceptance can support your growth.

  • Cultivating a sense of gratitude for the experience and its impact on your life may deepen your connection to the experience and create a positive perspective on the changes it has brought about. Practicing self-compassion throughout the process, especially if you encounter resistance, can help to guide the journey with kindness and patience.
