 Free Guided Breath Meditations
A gentle doorway into the work—guided practices that allow the breath to lead you inward toward stillness, not by force but by invitation.
Beyond Technique, Into Presence
There is a breath that does not strive. It does not push or pull, but moves like a hidden current—quietly guiding us inward. Barratt Breathwork® honors this subtle rhythm. Rooted in the yin essence of receptivity, it offers a sacred return to the breath’s original nature—unforced, intuitive, and alive with quiet intelligence.
This is not a technique to master, but a presence to enter—a gentle unfolding that softens the nervous system, refines the inner field, and opens the heart to the radiance of the True Self. In stillness, the breath becomes something more than breath: a thread of Divine remembrance.
If you feel drawn to a gentler way—one that awakens rather than activates—you may already be sensing the deeper intelligence living beneath the breath.
At the Barratt Breath Institute, our trainings unfold in progressive layers, guiding practitioners from personal immersion into professional embodiment within the sacred art of breath.
For those called into deeper apprenticeship, our Master-level mentorship is held as an intimate, founder-led transmission—devoted to refined meditative states, subtle awareness, and the art of guiding from the silent field beneath the breath itself.
