The Sacred Breathwork™ is a powerful shamanic ceremony using "archaic ecstasy techniques" for intensive healing and a conscious journey of exploration, developed by an internationally renowned psychologist:
Dr C. Michael Smith
(Mikkal)
The ceremony includes sacred and ecstatic music from 48 different cultures
in connection with a connected breathing.
The effect is a kind of "sonic Ayahuasca".
People may experience spontaneous healing process, rebirth, dissolution of some patterns and very ancient problems or addictions.
They usually experience a variety of mystical state, including the experiences of past lives, and healing relationships with people now disappeared.

There is an English / French translator for the instructions,
and the shared experience in group after the ceremony

How is the ceremony ?
The Sacred Breathwork™ is one of the most beautiful and powerful healing and transformation ceremonies in the world, looking like a theater drama, where each person becomes his own shaman.
It helps us to connect to the Sacred, through non-ordinary states of consciouness, and experiment some normally inaccessible dimension, to access not only to our individual memories but also to those of the collective unconscious.
With help of a specific breathing pattern, based on Holotropic Breathing, and with sacred music of different traditions and cultures, we will explore other dimensions, sometimes contacting archetypes, power animals, or spiritual guides.
Lying on a mattress on the floor, blindfolded, we will let us drive on a trip through breathing and music, guided by the Great Spirit.
Another participant is responsible to watch over us during this trip, but not intervene in any way. The roles are then reversed at the next session.
We will be invited to let our bodies speak, dance and move if necessary, to express ourselves by voice, and at the end of the ceremony, by the art of Mandala (painting, drawing ...)

Safety context
This ceremony, based on hundreds of years of old indigenous ancestral practices, allows the healing, not only of our life story, but also of problems related to our birth or sometimes past lives, but also connected to the collective subconscious.
Our repetitive behavior patterns or traumas are also highlighted here and find an opportunity to dissolve.
Mikkal and Minthe, both shamans, create a sacred space in which your personal work can be done safely.
Interested persons must also complete a questionnary, and all medical and psychological conditions are taken into account.

For more informations on Sacred Breathwork
see Mikkal's website :
Mikkal believes that the development of the shaman that lies within you requires powerful altered states of consciousness, in which you explore your own soul, its ability, its injuries and traumas, its potentialities and its sacred goals in life.
When a serie of Sacred Breathwork™ sessions follow each other on several days, the power of the ceremony approaches the power of ancient ceremonies of indigenous shamanic plants in the Peruvian Amazon and the high Andes. We can thus make great progress by dissolving blockages and old patterns (COEX systems).
