Spiritus Breathwork & Somatic Healing

Spiritus Breathwork is a unique, deeply transformative practice that weaves together ancient shamanic wisdom and contemporary breathwork techniques. Founded by Tim Morrison, this practice was directly inspired by the teachings of Abuelita. 

Spiritus breathwork allows participants to access altered states of consciousness, akin to the experiences induced by powerful psychedelic substances. This profound journey is facilitated solely through the power of breath.

During my training and facilitation, many individuals with prior experiences in plant medicine shared with me that the sensations they felt during the breathwork sessions mirrored those they experienced with these sacred plants. They expressed deep gratitude for being able to achieve these states naturally, without external substances

The Power of Spiritus Breathwork

Spiritus Breathwork offers a holistic approach to healing, focusing on the integration of mind, body, and spirit. This practice allows participants to access altered states of consciousness through conscious, connected breathing, which supports healing on multiple levels: the nervous system, physical body, emotional body, and energetic fields. Spiritus creates a sacred space in which individuals are guided to rediscover their innate wisdom and healing power, recognizing themselves as whole and capable of profound transformation.

Our bodies often store memories, emotions, and traumas that manifest as energetic blockages. Through breath, we can release these blockages, creating an expansive sense of freedom from within. This practice incorporates conscious breathing techniques, sound, and movement to help release stagnant energies in the body, ultimately leading to emotional release, physical healing, and a deep sense of inner balance.

Spiritus Breathwork honors the shamanic tradition, calling upon the guidance of ancestors and the divine. Each session is treated as a sacred ceremony, grounded in respect, intention, and presence.

The Science Behind Breathwork and Altered States

Spiritus Breathwork is not only a spiritual practice but also has a scientific foundation that explains its effectiveness:

  1. Hyperoxygenation: Deep, rhythmic breathing increases oxygen levels in the bloodstream while reducing carbon dioxide, leading to a state called respiratory alkalosis, where blood pH rises. This affects brain chemistry, inducing sensations such as tingling, warmth, and euphoria—paralleling the effects of psychedelics.
  2. Default Mode Network (DMN) Deactivation: The DMN, responsible for your sense of self and how you process past and future thoughts, is temporarily quieted during breathwork. This creates a sense of “ego dissolution,” allowing participants to connect more deeply with their subconscious, emotions, and spiritual insights.
  3. Endogenous DMT Release: Some research suggests that breathwork may stimulate the release of small amounts of DMT, a compound naturally produced by the brain and found in Ayahuasca. This may explain the visionary experiences and altered perceptions some participants report.

 

Limbic System Activation: Breathwork engages the limbic system, the brain’s emotional center, helping to process and release deeply held emotions, memories, and traumas. This often results in profound emotional catharsis and healing.

A Journey Through Healing

Each Spiritus Breathwork session is part of a structured journey toward emotional and spiritual healing:

01

Safe - Nervous System Regulation

The first step is about creating a safe and supportive environment for the client. This session focuses on calming the nervous system, guiding the client into a natural breathing rhythm. By fostering safety in the body, the individual can begin to release tension and prepare for deeper healing.

02

Emotional Release

In the second stage, the client is encouraged to vent—releasing stored emotions and letting go of blockages that have been held in the nervous system and body. With the body more attuned and regulated, this step is about accessing those stuck emotions and letting them flow out, freeing the body and spirit.

03

Grounding and Integration

The final stage is about grounding the client in their body and life. After emotional release, it’s important to reconnect with the earth, the present moment, and integrate the healing. Grounding helps the client feel centered, balanced, and empowered to carry the transformation forward in their daily life.
