Holotropic Awakening: A Healing Breathwork Experience At 3rd Eye with Sam P.

Holotropic Awakening is a powerful and transformative practice that can lead to profound healing and personal growth. Through deep accelerated breathing, as well as, combining inhalation and exhalation into a cycle of continuous breath, the sounds of powerful chakrally anglined music induce a deep form of meditation and a sort of psychedelic experience i.e.Holotropic Awakening. This altered state of consciousness allows us to access deeper parts of ourselves. This can lead to greater self-awareness, releasing blocked energy and emotion, increased creativity, and a sense of connection to the universe. In this Holotropic Awakening experience, you will be guided by experienced facilitator Sam Pullen who will create a safe and supportive environment for your journey. You will also have the opportunity to connect with others who are on a similar path of self-discovery. If you're looking to explore the depths of your being and unlock your full potential, Holotropic Awakening may be just what you need. Sign up today and experience the transformative power of Holotropic Awakening for yourself!

Things to consider:

If you live with the following conditions, this experience may not be for you.

Cardiovascular issues

High blood pressure

Recent injury or surgery

Any condition requiring regular medication

Panic attacks

Psychosis and seizure disorders

How to prepare:

wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely. It is

completely acceptable to wear pajama-type clothes for your breathwork

sessions. Most likely you will want socks for the breathwork sessions

A warm sweater, wrap, or blanket to wrap around yourself

Blankets, Mats, Pillows

You will be laying on the floor for more than one hours, so you are encouraged to

bring as many blankets, sleeping bags, thick mats so that you are as comfortable as possible. You will basically be creating a nice padded nest for yourself. It’s better to over-prepare than under prepare in this case. You don’t want to be preoccupied with a sore back or discomfort. In addition to blankets, you will want to bring a couple of pillows as well and a bolster if you have one.

Eyeshades/Masks/Scarfs – something that can serve as a blindfold during your

breathing session. You will want something that is secure around your eyes, so

an eye pillow would not suffice.

If you are sensitive to loud music, you may want to bring earplugs just in case.

Vinyasa yoga is a creative form of yoga. Yoga poses are linked together with the breath in a flowing sequence. Expect to move, sometimes vigorously, from pose to pose. This practice stimulates and energizes the mind and body through asanas (poses), with focus on the breath. This class will help you to build strength, increase endurance, create flexibility, and release tension.If you appreciate having things a little loose and like to keep moving, this style is definitely worth a try.Read class details

During this breathwork and sound healing journey, you will be given the opportunity to go inward and connect deeply with yourself using your breath, feeling deeply into any present body sensations. With your breath as your guide, you’ll be invited to release any suppressed emotion, in whatever way your body wants: by moving the body, sighing out loud, crying, laughing, or by simply staying present with the breath.On your back, with eyes closed, you will be led through a series of deep-breathing exercises. The first half of the class will be more rapid breathing, to activate the sympathetic nervous system, and the second half will be more relaxed, with slow breathing to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. You’ll also be led through several breath holds. The breathwork will be synced with music and at certain points the instructor will play additional drums, chimes, and sound bowls to support the experience.Through the cleansing power of the breath, emotions will often come forth to be felt, honored, and then released, leaving you feeling lighter and more connected with yourself and the world around you. This class is a safe container to feel and express any emotions or feelings such as anger, sadness, joy, or anything else that comes up for you. No previous breathwork experience required.Yoga mats, blankets, and eye masks will be provided on a first come, first serve basis (but feel free to bring your own).Read class details

Best cacao! True & powerful cacao. Serene, peaceful energy in the whole place. Great people all around… excited to try more!

Jeff D. July 15, 2025

Third Eye Cacao, the most diverse cacao and wellness oriented cafe i have ever visited. This is a phenomenal place for not only grounding with lovely authentic and ethically sourced cacao, but also to meet soulful people, make meaningful connections, and enjoy the fengshue for studying and rejuvination. Words cannot do justice to the full experience. You should come and find out for yourself why this gem in casa de luz among many other beautiful stores and spaces is one to remember. Thankyou ❤️‍🔥

I’ve never met anyone more willing to serve and support community without expecting anything in return. Neil operates from a place of love and authentic intention. Grateful for his support and friendship. If you are in need of inspiration, wisdom, or the best cacao, look no further. ♥️

Kevin P. June 24, 2025

I stopped in for a cup of cocoa, expecting comfort, but what I got was ceremony. The kind of drink that feels like it was made with intention, not just ingredients. A haven in every sense: soft lighting, grounding presence, and offerings that feel more like rituals than menu items. Deepest gratitude to the creators of this space, you’ve stirred something calm and nourishing into the world, one cup at a time.

Finally leaving a review, since I usually forget due to how relaxed I am each time I visit! I can’t stress enough how happy I am that this place exists. No matter the mood I’m in, their drinks are the perfect pick me up and I’m here weekly. My go-to is the Goddess energy with a little bit of honey, but the whole menu is good! Friendly staff too, but I do wish there was some type of reward system.

Sarah J. June 3, 2025

Very special place, amazing drinks with quality and pureness you can taste, excellent service from everyone who is there and a very free energy throughout the place 🙌🏾

isam k. May 18, 2025

The cacao here is good, and the vibes are amazing. It’s the kind of place where you run into awesome people whose very presence brings you peace and joy.

Sean S. April 10, 2025

Karla R. March 23, 2025

FAQ

Yoga can help boost your metabolism like a shot of espresso for your cells. It can help improve digestion and increase muscle mass, both of which can boost your metabolism. Plus, it's a lot more fun than drinking a cup of coffee every day.

Hatha and Vinyasa yoga are like two sides of the same coin - they both incorporate physical postures, but they have different approaches. Hatha yoga is slower and more static, focusing on holding each pose for longer periods of time, while Vinyasa yoga is more fluid and dynamic, with a focus on linking breath and movement.

Props are like the supporting cast in a yoga class - they help you get into the right position and provide support when needed. Think of them as your trusty sidekicks on your yoga journey.

Yoga helps with joint health like a well-oiled machine, keeping your joints flexible and lubricated. It can help improve range of motion, reduce stiffness and inflammation, and prevent joint injuries. Plus, it's a lot more enjoyable than getting a tune-up at the mechanic's shop.

Yoga helps with muscle strength and tone like a personal trainer, only without the dumbbells and weight machines. It can help you build lean muscle mass, improve flexibility, and increase overall body composition. Plus, it's a lot more peaceful than grunting and sweating in a crowded gym.
