As a shamanic practitioner experienced in ministering sacred plant medicine ceremonies, Anu treats breathwork as a similarly sacred practice, giving it wings to support the clearing away of old energies, patterns, conditioning, thoughts, and emotions, and removing our blocks to expanded perspectives, inner/higher guidance, self love and forgiveness, and personal clarity.

Breathwork allows us access to our own innate ability to heal and to feel, process, and release emotions, to connect to inner guidance, and to bring clarity and transformation into our lives. Anu will skillfully guide you to merge your inhale and exhale into a pattern of circular breathing. When you relax into this circular breathing, it becomes effortless, and you are taken on a somatic, experiential inner journey which may surprise you with its depth. Breathwork can open the door to allow us to step beyond our ego and everyday mind, and to access valuable insights and broader perspectives about our selves and our lives.

How to Prepare
Anu suggests you prepare yourself by coming to our ceremony with an open mind and heart, as well as with strong and clear intentions for what you would like to receive or get out of your experience. Don’t arrive on a full stomach; ideally don’t eat for at least 2 hours before the ceremony. Please arrive on time for the ceremony.

What to Bring
If you’d like to use an eye cover during the breathwork, please bring your own. Anu also recommends that you bring a small item of personal importance to place on our ceremony altar, as well as a blanket and a bottle of water. Wear loose, comfortable clothing and bring layers as body temperature can vary in this work.

Health Notifications for Breathwork
Breathwork is a powerful practice that creates subtle, temporary changes in our brain chemistry, enabling us to step into altered states of expanded consciousness. If you have any history (current or past) of cardiovascular issues, mental/emotional health challenges, physical limitations, epilepsy, recent surgery, or other mental or physical health challenges, you may want to check with your doctor before embarking on a journey with breathwork. If you are experiencing mental or physical health challenges, please be responsible for your own integrity and well-being, and please inform Anu of your condition before any breathwork ceremony (you can email [anu@hummingbirdcircle.org](mailto:anu@hummingbirdcircle.org)).
