*Breathwork:Stan Groff MD, who was funded to conduct LSD research to study psychosis in the 1970s, originally conceptualized Breathwork in modern culture. What he soon learned is that facilitating an altered state of consciousness in a safe and structured way was creating spontaneous healing experiences for participants. As time went on he stopped using LSD to generate these altered or expanded states of consciousness and used specifically designed music, breath and bodywork to induce the same state. This way of working has ancient roots in tribal Shamanic culture, using drumming to induce trance states for journeying with the intention of healing, transition, insight or assisting an individual soul or the tribe at large. This work has been further developed in modern times and referred to as Psycho-Spiritual Integrative Breathwork, Shamanic Breathwork and now NeuroImaginal Journey Work. The founding tenants of this work remain the same, with the right training facilitators create safe space with intention, use specifically designed music, breath and body work, incorporate art making and group process to hold the container for deep transformation.
Research has been done using the Breathwork with addicts in recovery and for relapse prevention; the results show particular success with addiction recovery, relapse prevention, dual diagnosis, and connecting people with their wholeness (Metcalf, B. (1995). Brewerton,T. et. al (2001). Rhinewine, J., Williams, O. (2007). Dr. Shannon Simonelli and The NeuroImaiginal Institute has used this work in personal and professional development settings with Physicians, medical and mental health professionals for over 15 years. Additionally we have conducted workshops for the general public with a wide range of people and desires for their healing. It is a powerful tool to assist people in their reconnection with their essential self and seeing their ego based patterns from a distance that is very helpful. It drops people into their hearts, invites deep embodiment and reconnects people with their indigenous nature, their Imaginal self.
All these modalities and ways of working synergistically come together to create NeuroImaginal Embodiment Practice and are the foundational tools in the Luminous Life Maps System.
