PNEUMA TRANCE® CEREMONIES – CONSCIOUS BREATHING AND INNER TRANSFORMATION

 

Introduction

Safety Note: Although Pneuma Trance® is performed in a controlled environment with professional guidance, it is important to know that the deep breathing process can induce intense physiological sensations. Some participants may experience dizziness, numbness in the extremities, tingling in the face or hands, mild cramps, or a sensation of body heat. These effects are temporary and a natural part of the controlled hyperventilation process.

​

Each person always maintains control over the intensity and depth of the exercise.

​

Pneuma Trance® is not just a technique; it is a path of inner transformation. It integrates deep breathing, symbolic accompaniment, deep hypnosis resources, and elements of active meditation to generate an experience of emotional healing, mental clarity, and reconnection with one's life purpose. Its non-clinical, yet carefully designed, approach is based on ethical principles, guided introspection practices, and the use of non-pharmacological tools validated by transpersonal psychology and non-ordinary states of consciousness.

 

This method has been informed by experiences in holotropic breathwork, psilocybin integration sessions, hypnosis and hypnotherapy, as well as artistic expressions as a path to self-discovery. It is recommended for those seeking a profound, safe, and structured alternative to traditional methods.

 

Pneuma Trance® is a powerful tool for self-discovery and healing through non-ordinary states of consciousness. This introspective journey allows access to the subconscious, releasing repressed emotions, exploring behavior patterns, and dissolving emotional blocks.

​

Benefits include: 

• Emotional Healing: Facilitates the release of trauma and repressed emotions, improving mental and physical well-being.

• Increased Self-Awareness: Encourages deeper understanding of behavioral patterns and limiting beliefs.

• Spiritual Development: Promotes connection with one’s inner self and the greater whole.

• Creativity and Problem Solving: Participants often report heightened creativity and clarity in complex decisions.

​

Pneuma Trance® breathwork is a prolonged, voluntary hyperventilation procedure that may support the treatment of common psychiatric conditions such as anxiety and depressive disorders. It draws on validated principles from psychology and psychiatry, while also honoring traditional healing and spiritual wisdom from diverse cultures.

From a scientific perspective, Pneuma Trance® resembles exposure therapy by enabling individuals to safely encounter and process suppressed emotions and memories. Deep rhythmic breathing has also been proven to:

• Activate the parasympathetic nervous system

• Stimulate the immune system

• Promote the release of dopamine and serotonin

• Reduce the size of the amygdala (linked to fear and stress)

• Encourage alpha brainwave activity linked to calmness and mental clarity

​​​Effects on Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma

Nervous System Regulation

The breathing pattern used activates the parasympathetic system, which reduces overexcitement, insomnia, and the states of alertness associated with chronic anxiety.

​

Emotional release without retraumatization

Repressed content is accessed without having to verbalize it directly, avoiding the risk of traumatic reactivation. This is especially useful in cases of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

​

Symbolic Trauma Processing

Guided visualizations and energy containment (also understood as an emotionally safe space) allow us to reorganize painful experiences from a place of deep understanding, without direct exposure.

​

Regaining Purpose in Depressive Conditions

By unlocking the emotional and symbolic center, many people report a spontaneous recovery of the desire to live and create. Breathing becomes a direct channel of existential reconnection.

​

Restoration of the Inner Self

By inducing states of expanded perception, the conditioned pattern of the ego is temporarily overcome, allowing for a spontaneous restoration of a sense of identity from a more genuine and essential place.

 

“These effects have been described in numerous similar practices such as holotropic breathwork, integrated with foundations of modern neuroscience.”
