Anthony Abbagnano – Conscious Breathwork To Renew Your Wellbeing

Check it out: Anthony Abbagnano – Conscious Breathwork To Renew Your Wellbeing

Discover how to use conscious, connected breath patterns to give your brain what it truly craves — while also nourishing your internal organs, releasing locked-in trauma, and more.

Are you finding yourself feeling unhinged about how your life journey fits with the new world unfolding around us?

As great waves of change roll across the planet, many of us feel uneasy about what lies ahead, personally and collectively.

And yet, we each have access to a powerful practice that can connect us with our innate wisdom… bring greater awareness into our lives… and guide us to make decisions that lead to wellbeing and happiness.

Conscious breathwork can instantly change your state of being and point of view in any moment… whenever you need to release stress or experience greater clarity.

You can master what breathwork trainer Anthony Abbagnano calls the alchemy of applied breathwork, and create a space for grace that makes you feel centered and connected.

Anthony teaches that you’re not only a hero in your life’s journey and our collective journey — you’re also an alchemist with the power to transform upheaval into harmony.

In this intimate, vitalizing 7-part training, Anthony will guide you through The Journey of the Alchemist — from the call to transform that you’ve likely already received, through the portal into adventure, and out the other side… into an entirely new level of consciousness and wellbeing.

With breathwork practices that bring profound internal change, you’ll meet your supernatural helpers, inner child, and shadow self; retrieve your personal treasures; and return with a greater sense of wholeness and wellness.

Studies have shown that breathwork can help reduce symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, insomnia, and PTSD.

Conscious connected breath patterns not only nourish our brains by giving them the amount of oxygen they crave (and often lack in our modern ways of living)… they also refresh our internal organs, release locked-in trauma, and awaken and enliven our bodies, minds, and souls.

Your breath is natural, free, and available whenever you need it — AND it’s your greatest ally, one you could never live without, and one you can easily live more fully with.

Harness your body’s most natural process for clearing stress, expanding your awareness, and owning your power

In our first-ever breathwork course here at The Shift Network, Anthony Abbagnano is giving you the opportunity to go deep on a voyage that’s healing, empowering, and builds your ability to be an effective change agent in your life and our world.

It involves profound inquiry, it’s experiential, it’s playful, and it’s transformational — a fresh chance for individuation.

You’ll experience a new breathwork practice to release stress and anxiety, cope with uncertainty, soothe the wounds of your inner child, claim your greatest gifts, show up as an awakened human being, and be an example for others.

You’ll connect with a community of like-minded souls who are on your path. You’ll breathe into new states of being. You’ll take ownership of who you’re becoming.

And by the end of the journey, you’ll have tools you can always come back to, anytime you need them, with every breath.

Anthony is known for his gentle, supportive, and soulful way of teaching.

Drawing on humor… his life exploration of breathwork, shamanism, inner child work, the work of Joseph Campbell, Bodytalk therapy, Conscious Loving coaching… and presence, compassion, and love, he’ll help you navigate your edges, greet them, and transform them with breath and intention.

In this pivotal time, we are each called to contribute our unique gifts so we can finally build a beautiful world that works for all. If you choose to join us on this journey with Anthony, you’ll discover the body-mind-spirit and breathwork skills you’ll need to improve your sense of wellbeing and transform turbulence into grace.

During this intimate, courageous, and rewarding journey, you’ll explore:

• Conscious breathing practices including The Balloon Breath, The Transformer Breath, The Hummingbird Breath, and more
• How to achieve clarity, purpose, and direction that open doorways for you
• Your ability to hold all of who you are with compassionate embrace
• How to attain a renewed sense of ease, and an emboldening ability to interpret “disadvantage” as opportunity for growth
• The special Alchemy Meditation for building a bridge over which all broken parts of your self can converge back into the orchestra of your being
• How your shadow self hides your greatest gifts
• How to use fun, tender, and revealing exercises to uncover your most precious self
• Ways to soothe the wounds of your inner child
• An often-overlooked chance to plant the seeds of hope for humanity, and to lead by example
• The treasures that lie inside you behind the challenges you face
• New ways to understand menopause (male and female) and seize its opportunities
• How to shed what no longer serves you, so you don’t have to carry it anymore
• How to move into the role of creator
• What your message is — through your opened being — to the rest of the world
• How to keep the echo going as you stand in your reclaimed power

What You’ll Discover in These 7 Modules
In this transformational intensive, Anthony will guide you through the fundamental body-mind-spirit and breathwork skills you’ll need to renew your wellbeing and transform tension into grace.

This course features teachings, training sessions, and experiential practices with Anthony. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to renew your wellbeing with conscious breathwork — and alchemize upheaval into harmony.

Module 1: Opening the Book of Your Life

The more you look inside your own being, the more you realize that your outer world is reflected within you. All the conflicts, pain, and suffering in the world exist in you too — in each of us — and most of the things that disturb us do so because they show us parts of ourselves that we may not want to look at, let alone embrace with the unconditional love of a parent.

As such, we’ll begin our journey by creating a safe and tender space for each other. Guided by Anthony with a dash of dry humor and a pinch of mischief, you’ll gather purpose, sharpen your will and focus, and cast off, using your breath to unlock new doors of perception.

You’ll be invited to use the chat box as a “pool of meaning” in which you’ll be welcome to express your thoughts, feelings, confessions, commitments, and sovereign claims.

We’ll explore the ancient concept of the Mandorla (an almond-shaped frame surrounding an icon), and how we get to play an active role in the healing of humanity by learning how to embrace polarity, and bring the opposites into convergence.

In this module, you’ll discover:

How the breath can be your best friend
A sense of bonding and connection with a like-minded community
A readiness to embark on a new journey of discovery
A new perspective on old viewpoints
A fresh sense of purpose and direction that opens doorways for you
A 35- to 40-minute breathwork session (using the conscious connected breath method) to explore these topics more deeply
And a breath awareness practice that you can apply daily: The Balloon Breath

Module 2: Meeting Your Supernatural Helper

You have taken a particular path to being here. You’ve felt a call to change something — whether it’s to explore and connect with people of like mind, or to make big changes in your life.

Each time you respond to a call in your life, things start to happen — things that help you, things that stand in your way, or a mix of both. The strength of your will is often crucial to getting where you want to be.

But will alone is not enough. Our human journey takes a particular combination of will and surrender, and learning when to apply each can make the difference between peaceful closure and a debilitating sense of failure.

A key to moving forward with fierce grace is gathering the tools and the aid you need to get the most out of your journey. So in this module, you’ll examine what’s giving you guidance in THIS moment.

And you’ll discover:

A new perspective that helps you meet challenges with patience and power
What it’s like to move into the role of creator
How to know when to push and when to rest
Why your trials are not personal
A renewed sense of ease, and an ability to interpret “disadvantage” as opportunity for growth
A 35- to 40-minute breathwork session (using the conscious connected breath method) to explore these topics more deeply
And a new breath awareness practice that you can apply daily: The Transformer Breath Level 1

Module 3: Soothing the Wounds of Your Inner Child

“The child is in me still, and sometimes not so still.”
― Mr. Rogers
As we open up the chambers to our inner worlds, as we confront the guardians of the shadow realms, we discover past versions of ourselves that have lain hidden behind our traumas.

As we appreciate the broken nature of our beings, and our human struggle to reach wholeness, we understand that striving for oneness can never bring a result until we become one within ourselves first. After all, how can a fragmented part of who you are experience true unity?

This module will be devoted to reclaiming your inner child, to making a gentle but deep journey to the events that caused you to harden against threat, to devise coping systems that are now outdated and that hold you back from your fullness. Your opportunity is to retrieve the “lost one” that has been abandoned — the little one who was wounded by the sharp edges of life.

Through a special Alchemy Meditation, we’ll make the journey back through the years, and build a bridge over which all broken parts of the self can converge back into the orchestra of your inner being. Separated from each other for years or decades, these parts of yourself will get to play together again.

Using awareness of the Internal Family Systems model, and informed by Anthony’s life exploration of inner child work, we’ll move through a simple three-step process to restore inner integrity.

And you’ll discover:

A renewed connection with your inner child
A restored sense of hope
A tool for presence and equanimity
The understanding of Inner Leadership
Why hostile behaviour is not born of hostility
A 35- to 40-minute breathwork session (using the conscious connected breath method) to explore these topics more deeply
And a new breath awareness practice that you can apply daily: Transformer Breath Level 2

Module 4: Embracing Your Shadow & Unveiling Your Greatest Gifts

“In the cave you fear most lies the treasure you seek.”
— Joseph Campbell
In this module, we’ll explore how our shadow self hides our greatest gifts.

If unconditional love is an ideal, that’s only because we haven’t learned to love ourselves in all our conditions. Underneath the blanket of anger, fear, and shame lie many jewels, but they can’t be appreciated if they’re smothered by our shadow self. This session, we’ll celebrate the raw energy that exists in this space, its benign nature, and its contribution to our capability and creativity.

This is a welcome to the dark side, where we’ll puncture the illusion that the shadow can be restrained, hidden, or stifled.

The shadow will out us if we don’t embrace it, so we’ll explore it in safety and confidentiality together. We’ll give it some air, so it doesn’t need to lie fetid. We’ll give it the chance to shout out its objection to containment, and to reveal the wondrous raw power that lies within it.

With exercises that are fun, tender, and revealing, you’ll uncover your most precious self, and discover:

An appreciation of your own darkness
A new understanding of shame and forgiveness
A surge of personal power and will
Loving ways to laugh at yourself with affection
A deeper appreciation of your true creativity
A 35- to 40-minute breathwork session (using the conscious connected breath method) to explore these topics more deeply
And a new breath awareness practice that you can apply daily: The Combustion Breath

Module 5: Finding the Treasure on Your Road to Mastery

“Why is it that each new line on your face is like the first line of a love letter?”
— D. Nickerson
As we approach our spiritual maturity, we are often tempted by the ego to question our value in the world. If our self-worth has been nourished by how others see us, we are likely to enter the “great suffering” of clinging to youth in any way we can. Fast cars and facelifts cannot stop what nature wants to happen, but they can stop us dead in our tracks. Rooted in our insecurities, we see the lines on our faces and our changing bodies as condemnation, rather than the expression of the richness of our human story.

Mastery can only be embraced when we are at peace with who we are and the changes we go through. What do you need to “drop” to travel lightly towards your mastery?

In this module, we move towards Kingship and Queenship — to discover the treasure that lies inside us behind the challenges we face. We learn to embrace our maturity, to include the broken parts of who we are, and to be ready to accept our changing lives — and bodies — as we show the signs of age.

We will explore where true beauty lies.

And in a world that so sadly lacks wisdom and leadership, what is your role? This is the age where people look up to us, whether we’re aware of it or not. It’s also a chance to plant seeds of hope for humanity, to lead by example.

In order to carry the mantle offered to us, we need to master the balance of humility and leadership. What is the gift you bring as a result of the challenges you’ve faced?

In this module, you’ll discover:

How to cross the midlife chasm
New ways to understand menopause (male and female) and seize its opportunities
How to accept the beauty of being who you are
A fresh chance for individuation
The pathway to mentorhood
A 35- to 40-minute breathwork session (using the conscious connected breath method) to explore these topics more deeply
And a new breath awareness practice that you can apply daily: The Hummingbird Breath

Module 6: Returning Renewed & Sowing the Seeds of Your Legacy

Discovering the treasure is well and good, but if you’re stuck on the island, it’s not worth much! It has to be brought back for our journey to be complete — but this entails travels through temptation, distraction, and risk.

Our claim to mastery is only as valid as our commitment to service. What legacy would you wish to leave for those who follow you?

The best way to sustain our accomplishments may be through our own Servant Leadership, but to be ready, we have to face our own reckoning. What does this mean to you? What are the resources you’ll need for this phase of your life? What does atonement and forgiveness mean to you?

The exercise of this class will be to write a letter to your current self from your deathbed. As you imagine that moment, and dwell in it, what would you write back to yourself as you are now?

In this module, you’ll explore:

Individuation and the power of discernment
The power of courageous truth and fierce grace
The will to embrace uncertainty as your learning
A compassionate understanding of your protective systems
A compassionate embrace of your ego
A 35- to 40-minute breathwork session (using the conscious connected breath method) to explore these topics more deeply
And a new breath awareness practice that you can apply daily: The Transformer Breath Level 3

Module 7: Opening Into a New Beginning as a Humble Creator

In this module, we’ll celebrate. As you look back on your point of departure, you’ll take stock of the differences you’ve noticed along the way. This is also a powerful last chance to shed what no longer serves you so you don’t have to carry it anymore.

As we travel the path from mastery to the mystery of death, we get to embrace our aging that will take us toward our final passage. What aspects of ourselves do we need to embrace? What of the legacy we’ve created? Will our attention be consumed by the diminishing sense of power that comes from overidentification with our body, our successes, or our failures? Can we learn to accept our aging with grace, or must we maintain supreme effort to stay in denial?

As we navigate these realms together, both elders and the young will have a chance to find solace and support to consider that much of what we have done in the first part of our lives will be what we have to account for in the last part of our lives. Now more than ever, we need the benefit of radical acceptance, the ability to hold all of who we are with compassionate embrace.

There may be a gentle sadness at the closure of our course, but also a joy to be ready for our new lives, together with resolute determination to make conscious choices about what will come next.

And as you stand in your power, you’ll step away knowing exactly how to keep the echo going.

In this module, you’ll discover:

A newfound sense of purpose (and accountability!)
Refreshed will and inspiration
Self-acceptance and the ability to surrender
How to embrace the inevitable with grace — and the breath
A changed life view, as a humble creator
A 35- to 40-minute breathwork session (using the conscious connected breath method) to explore these topics more deeply
And a new breath awareness practice that you can apply daily: The 27 Breath

Breathing Love: From Shame to Strength
Video Dialogue With Anthony Abbagnano; Hosted by Jessica Dibb

Shame. The word itself weighs heavy in the belly. And when our belly is heavy, our breathing is impaired. The decreased breath and the shame block us from flowering into our fullest being. Yet we have become so used to hiding it from ourselves that we’re unable to experience a true sense of inner peace.

Instead of living with the burden — and the consequences it creates — what if there’s another choice? Anthony discusses how you can use breathwork to review and renew the scripts of life that you live by, and make conscious choices to change them — and transform yourself into the richest version of you that you can be.

In this session, you’ll:

Experience a renewed sense of hope, and understand that there is another way
Learn to think differently
Discover your ability to transform shame into gain
Jessica Dibb is the founder, spiritual director, and principal teacher of the Inspiration Consciousness School, dedicated to promoting personal, relational, and planetary wellness.
