Portugal Breathwork: Spark Your Fire

✺ What is Conscious Connected Breathwork?

A form of active meditation where we are changing the chemistry in our body through a specific breathing pattern and get into an altered or different state of consciousness, accessing our subconscious mind and diving deep within to heal, feel, release and elevate.

Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB), which we will be using in the session, is also considered a healing, transformational breathwork to release physical or emotional blockages, get out of your patterns and feel your true potential

✺ What happens in a breathwork session?

Conscious Connected Breathwork is a type of holistic therapy that combines breathing exercises, visualization, and body awareness to promote physical, mental and emotional healing. The breath is a powerful tool for accessing subconscious and releasing or transforming unconscious emotions and patterns of behavior.

During a Conscious Connected Breathwork session, you will lie down and will be guided through a series of connected breaths, designed to stimulate the body's natural healing process. The breathing exercises are accompanied by music, affirmations, and sometimes other techniques such as body movement or visualization.

The goal of Conscious Connected Breathwork is to release stored emotions and physical tension, promote relaxation and inner peace, increase self-awareness and consciousness, and facilitate personal growth and transformation.

✺ About Miriam

Miriam is a breathwork facilitator and founder of Spark Your Fire.

After experimenting and learning two decades around how to overcome her obstacles, become more of her authentic self and carve her own unique path, she had found breathwork. Breathwork has been the tool to change her state with literally something as simple as taking a few breaths, and a unique practice with the deeper, longer breathwork journeys to feel, release, transform and alchemise her biggest pains, gain clarity and make bold changes in her life.

Miriam fuses breathwork, embodiment and meditation with her background interests in biohacking, neuroscience, cold-water exposure and functional medicine.

She is a passionate kitesurfer and works remotely as a digital nomad from beautiful spots around the world with Tarifa, Spain, as well as Cape Town, South Africa, as her two home bases she keeps returning to. She is spending July and August every year in Viana do Castelo as she fell in love with the kitesurf spot and Portuguese vibes and will give a special workshop in MARAVISTA - Yoga.Body.Mind.

✺ Session Focus

You are the one you’ve been looking for. We tend to give power away by thinking others have it all figured out and have the solutions to all our problems. While there are so many beautiful tools, techniques and programmes out there this session is here to remind you that you are, always, the one who is alchemizing and transforming through your own power. This is your time to dive deep into trust, surrender, believing in yourself (not from your head but feeling it in your body) and knowing that you have everything within you that you need already. It’s time you spark your own fire.
