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.

We will explore various breathing exercises that will open up our airways and nourish our bodies for the rest of the day. You will learn techniques that you can use to deepen your daily practice.“When the breath is disturbed, the mind is disturbed.

Immerse yourself in a meditative practice designed to guide you inward, inviting you to connect with the subtle dimensions of your awareness.

As you practice the two-part breath technique, your mind will be given permission to relax, creating space for your body to release the messages hidden beneath the surface. With every breath, you will uncover deeper layers of yourself, revealing moments of liberation, clarity, and profound self-realization.Each session is unique, and you will receive exactly what you need in the moment. As you journey through the breathwork, you will be gently supported by meditation, sound healing, and a peaceful savasana, allowing you to integrate and ground the transformative energies you’ve accessed.Come as you are—this class is for everyone, and you will leave feeling more connected, centered, and restored. Preparing for class:*Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early to allow time for parking, checking in, and setting up your mat.

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 ❤️‍🔥

Austin T. June 23, 2025

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.

rose v. June 14, 2025

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

The drink was so chocolatey and rich. Never had something like this before. It was a real treat and def can’t wait to get another one!

Karla R. March 23, 2025

Great place to do breathwork!

Alex A. March 19, 2025

I love that no matter how busy or slow this place is, the person who works there is personable and graceful. The cacao is nice and so is the ambiance.

FAQ

Yoga can help with fatigue like a shot of energy for your body. It can help improve blood flow, increase energy levels, and reduce stress. Plus, it's a lot more fun than drinking a cup of coffee every day.

Yoga is like a dance with your body, while meditation is a dance with your mind. Both practices can help you feel more centered and calm, but yoga incorporates physical movement, while meditation is more focused on stillness and introspection.

Breathing in yoga is like the fuel that powers your practice - it keeps you going and helps you get the most out of each pose. It also helps you stay calm and focused, and can even enhance the physical benefits of the poses.

Yoga is like a magical flexibility and balance potion, working wonders on your body over time. It stretches and strengthens your muscles, which can lead to improved flexibility and balance. Just don't expect to be doing backflips and splits after your first class.

Yoga is like a calming force for your mind. It can help reduce anxiety by teaching you to focus on your breath and stay present in the moment. Plus, it's a lot more fun than worrying all day.
