---

Essential Information for Safe and Transformational Practice

Before participating in any 9D Breathwork session, it’s essential to understand how your body and nervous system may respond to different breathing techniques and levels of intensity.

This guide outlines key safety considerations, contraindications, and participant

responsibilities to ensure your wellbeing and create a safe environment for personal

transformation.

Please read carefully before your session and contact your facilitator or medical provider if

you have any questions.

Understanding Different Types of Breathwork

Not all breathwork techniques affect the body in the same way. 9D Breathwork offers four

distinct categories, each with unique purposes and intensity levels:

Basic Breath Training

Foundational techniques that strengthen awareness, regulation, and resilience in daily life.

Down-Regulation (Parasympathetic Activation)

Gentle breathing designed to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and restore balance.

Hybrid Breathwork

 A blend of calming and activating breathing that creates rhythmic energetic waves while maintaining equilibrium.

9D Activation Sessions

High-intensity patterns designed to release stored emotions, awaken energy, and facilitate deep transformation through altered states of consciousness.

Contraindications & Medical Considerations

The following contraindications are shared not to exclude individuals, but to ensure every participant has the safest and most supportive experience possible.

If you experience or have a history of any of the following, please review the guidance below

and consult your physician before joining a high-intensity (Activation or Hybrid) session.
