All Things CCB
Explained with 3 simple questions
What is CCB?
Conscious Connected Breathing (CCB) is a simple yet powerful, eyes closed breathing process that was developed by Leonard Orr in San Francisco in the 1970’s. He discovered that by breathing in a particular rhythmic cycle, an individual could clear emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual blockages. The principle is that in moments of heightened emotion we subconsciously avoid pain or even joy by suppressing the emotion and holding our breath.
Through the process of CCB we can bring this suppressed material to the surface from the unconscious, giving us the opportunity to let go of the past and experience the here and now. A lifetime of stress can be permanently released from body and mind.
How does it work?
Almost all of us are suppressing large amounts of emotional, physical, and mental tensions and require relatively high levels of carbon dioxide in their blood to keep these tensions suppressed. A guided conscious connected breath – not pausing between the inhale and exhale – allows a build-up of oxygen in the blood and of Prana or Life energy, releasing emotions and memories ‘locked’ in suppressed breath.
what can i expect?
What occurs during a session varies from person to person and from session to session. One may experience memories and images of the past, physical sensations, spiritual experiences or emotional release. Whatever is needed to release at the time will release, leaving the client in a heightened state of peace.
