How should I prepare for a breathwork session?

Once you register for a session, you will receive an email with detailed instructions on how to prepare. It's recommended that participants abstain from alcohol 24-48hrs before and after the session. Also, participants are advised to try to avoid eating at least 2 hours before the session (definitely no heavy meals) and there should be no caffeine, soda, energy drinks, or smoking for at least 4 hours before the session.

Each participant will need the following items:

  • Yoga mat (or any comfortable flat surface)  
  • Pillow
  • Eye mask or something to cover the eyes with
  • Comfortable clothing (layers and socks are recommended)
  • Blanket (optional but recommended)
  • Chapstick (as needed; mouth can get dry during breathing)
  • Water (optional)
Is there anyone who shouldn’t do breathwork?

Please refer to the Health Restrictions section. Ultimately, these are recommendations; you know your body best.

What are common after-effects?

After a breathwork journey, people might experience:

  • Physical Sensations: Deep relaxation, tingling, or lightness in the body.
  • Emotional Release: A range of emotions, such as joy, sadness, or relief as stored emotions are released.
  • Mental Clarity: Enhanced focus, reduced stress, and a sense of calm.
  • Heightened Self-Awareness: Increased awareness of thoughts and feelings.
  • Integration Time: A need for quiet time to process and absorb the experience.
  • Temporary Discomfort: Possible mild headaches or fatigue, typically resolved with rest and hydration.
  • Extended Benefits: Improved mood, better sleep, and a long-lasting sense of peace in the days following the session.

For this reason, abstaining from any intense activity following the breathwork session is recommended.

Is there anything I need to do after a session?

Yes, and we will discuss this as part of the integration session after your journey. Journaling the day of or the day after is a great way to give full expression to your experience. Baths and foot soaks are a good way to help your body clear out toxins. Also, it’s important to ground, be in nature (even just going for a walk outdoors), hydrate, and sleep well. The more you ground, the more able you are to integrate what you’ve just experienced. It helps you settle back into your body and calms the central nervous system.

How often should I do breathwork?

Breathwork is an incredibly accessible practice, and the more often you do it, the greater the benefit. Even just five minutes of deep, conscious breathing every day can have a tremendous impact on your life, supporting stress relief, improved focus, higher productivity, and emotional regulation. For example, box breathing (which we incorporate into our chakra cleansing meditation) is a tool we often recommend to our clients when they need to regulate their emotions on the go.

Breathwork can also be a powerful precursor to meditation, helping you enter into a deeper state of awareness faster. And even if you’re not meditating, just taking a moment for deep breathing at any point in your day can help you reconnect with your body, bringing an immediate sense of peace and relaxation whenever you need it. Ideally, the key is consistency—finding a rhythm that works for you.

How many Dimensional Breathwork sessions do I need for a long-lasting transformation to take place?

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” –Carl Jung

Everyone’s journey is unique. A single Dimensional Breathwork session can be incredibly profound, and most feel lighter and more at peace afterward. However, true lasting change typically begins to unfold between 4-6 sessions, especially if you are seeking clarity, emotional release and/or the rewiring of subconscious thought patterns. Just as it takes years for stress, trauma, and emotional patterns to become stored in the body, their release is usually a gradual process that unfolds over time. 

For those seeking deeper, lasting transformation, we recommend two sessions per month for six consecutive months. This provides ample time for your body and mind to integrate the changes. Integration is truly key to this work, as it allows you to process and act on the clarity, insights, and messages that come through from your higher self during these sessions.

For others, weekly sessions over several months can be deeply cathartic and highly beneficial. Over time, this consistent practice of release and subconscious rewiring transforms overall well-being, allowing you to experience life in a way that feels profoundly different—and far better. This sustained practice reminds you of your intrinsic value—the sacredness of who you are, separate from external circumstances—and allows you to move forward with power, purpose, and peace.

Think of working on your subconscious and self-awareness like learning to ride a bike. Breathwork is the first push that helps you gain momentum and balance, making your journey smoother and easier until the next session. 

Once we’ve covered enough ground together, you’ll be able to ride confidently on your own, knowing that everything you’ve integrated has become an innate part of you and will be reflected in how you navigate and experience life.

How is breathwork different from meditation?

Breathwork and meditation are both powerful practices that promote mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, but they differ in their methods, focus, and effects. 

Breathwork is an active practice using controlled breathing patterns to create rapid emotional, physical, and energetic shifts. It can be intense and deeply cathartic, helping with stress relief, trauma release, and altered states of consciousness. It boosts oxygen flow, reduces cortisol, and promotes detoxification. 

Meditation is a more passive practice focused on mindfulness, stillness, and mental clarity. It helps with long-term emotional balance, stress reduction, and self-awareness. It lowers heart rate, reduces inflammation, and enhances relaxation.

Both practices complement each other—breathwork creates immediate transformation, while meditation builds lasting mental and emotional resilience. The yogis in India often use breathwork as a precursor to meditation to drop into a deeper state of awareness. Breathwork creates the space for a more profound, focused meditation experience. It helps quiet the mental chatter, allowing practitioners to access higher states of consciousness and inner peace. This practice is also known to enhance the ability to stay present and deepen the connection with the breath and the body during meditation.
