Breathwork
Breathwork sessions with Sarkis utilize the approach of Conscious, Connected Breathing, as taught in the Rebirthing Breathwork and Breathwave lineages.
This is an approach where the inhalation is connected to the exhalation without a pause. This modality is facilitated with the breather laying down, receiving verbal & hands-on support from a facilitator, to promote healing by correcting maladaptive breathing patterns.
Unlike other breathing modalities where the breather is encouraged to breath harder, faster, or more intensely, this approach emphasizes gentle, relaxed, full-range breathing, with a rhythm that supports the deepening of Present Moment Awareness.
When we breath with intentionality while simultaneously surrendering any forcing or agenda, profound, beneficial transformations become possible. Conscious, Connected Breathing brings us directly into contact with the present moment (with what is), and the majority of self-limiting beliefs/behaviors lose power over us when exposed to the light of Awareness.
By observing our unconscious breathing patterns, we gain insight into unproductive and unhealthy patterns in our lives. Being facilitated in a Breathwork session helps bring attention to where we go unconscious in our breath and in our lives.
Because breath is innate to our Beingness, no one can ever take it away from us... For this reason, engaging in Breathwork is one of the simplest and most profound pathways to sovereignty, personal empowerment, and the fulfillment of our deepest longings.
Common Benefits of Conscious, Connected Breathing:

It is with deep gratitude that I acknowledge and honor the lineage of Conscious, Connected Breathers who came before me.
I learned this way of breathing from my teachers, (mainly) Kalyani Buckman, Aaron Overstreet and Robin Clements. Robin trained with Judith Kravitz, who, in addition to Kalyani B. and Aaron O., were all trained by Leonard D. Orr, who received the transmission of Breath from Mahavatar Babaji.
I prostrate myself at the feet of my masters; may I pass on this blessing with humility, integrity, respect and Joy.
