Breath of Gold is a heart-opening style of breathwork that connects you to the wealth & wisdom that lives within you. It’s all about reconnecting you to YOU–empowering you to remember that everything you’ve been looking for lies within your breath. 

The main style of breathwork in the membership is circular connected breath. Each journey is curated differently with unique playlists and guided themes designed to take you within and connect to your soul. 

You may play the breathwork samples above on this page to feel into the vibes of the intuitively channeled wisdom that has come through during our journeys.

You are choosing to commit to a minimum of 6 months or 12 months. If you sign up for 6 months, you will be re-enrolled into another 6 months unless you cancel. If you sign up for a minimum of 12 months, you will be re-enrolled into another 12 months unless you cancel. 

Most of our members stay in for at least 6 months and that’s what we recommend so that you can really get the benefits of breathwork. If you would like sign up and cancel at the end of your sign up period, you may let us know by emailing support@adriennerivera.com

It takes at least 10-12 deep dive circular connected journeys to create a complete transformation. We bet you’ll love it after your first 12 sessions, and like most become a breathworker for life! Or perhaps even join us in our Breath of Gold Breathwork Facilitator Program :).

We have a no refund policy for past payments including payments where you may have forgotten to cancel your membership, as well as no refunds for the 6-month full pay option.

The main style of breathwork that we lead is Circular Connected Breath. This is just like holotropic breathwork but guided in a softer way, and done for one hour total. This is the style we lead every Sunday on the live calls from 5:30 - 7pm Pacific Time. This is done laying down for about an hour, breathing in and out through the mouth in a circular connected way. 

If you have any of the following contraindications, you may still join but we will ask that you breathe in and out through the nose; as that will be better suited for you. 

The contraindications for open-mouth circular connected breath are the following:

• History of epilepsy or seizures
• Bipolar disorder or schizophrenia
• Pregnancy
• Serious eye issues such as detached retina or glaucoma
• High blood pressure that is not controlled with medication

• Hospitalization for emotional crisis or a series psychiatric condition within the last 10 years
• History of strokes
• Osteoporosis (where tremors, movement, or shaking in the body could cause physical issues)
• Recent surgeries
• Heavy doses of medication
• Breathwork should not be down while on altering substances like drugs or alcohol

Note: If you have asthma, you may still do breathwork. Just have your inhaler with you. 

There are SO many benefits of breathwork! Breathwork is one of the most powerful therapeutic practices for emotional healing and personal growth.

Breathwork is a powerful modality to release trauma in the body. It can often stir up traumas in the body to be released. Sometimes that comes with remembering past traumas to process them or seeing them from a newfound healing perspective to free yourself from holding onto it. 

Ultimately, you know yourself best. If you are in the middle of something that is very traumatic for you right now–I would suggest not starting breathwork and going to a therapist first. Breathwork may be a good fit for you to integrate what you uncover with a therapist later once you are no longer in the middle of a severe emotionally traumatic event. 

If you are concerned about what breathwork may bring up for you on an emotional level, I recommend doing your first session breathing in through the nose and out through the nose in a circular connected conscious way and seeing how that goes for you. 

As always, you are in control of your journey. At any point in your journey, you may slow down the pace of the active breath, return to your natural breathing, or lengthen your exhales. Within 5-10 minutes of breathing normally again, all sensations that you are experiencing will mellow out.

As breathworkers, we love to say there is no right or wrong way to breathe. Trust that whatever comes up for you is happening for a reason. 

If you fall asleep during it, that’s completely normal and what your body needs. If you have a lot of thoughts or ideas that flow to you during it, that’s completely normal too. You are welcome to journal and brain dump what comes through for you during the breathwork journey. 

Practice softening your exhales to minimize sensations of cramping in the body. All of the work is on the inhale breath, followed by complete effortless surrender on the exhale.

Every session is completely different. Sometimes it’s common to get really cold or really hot, so we recommend that you come in layers and have blankets in the safe space that you choose to do your breathwork journey. 

It’s common to experience “tetany”--or cramping of the hands, leading the hands to look like little “lobster claws.” You may also feel tingling sensations all throughout your body, most commonly in the extremities. This is completely normal and part of the process. If that happens, be with the sensations and see if you can surrender while also softening your exhales. If at any point you do not want to experience those sensations–you may always roll onto your side and breathe normally and your hands will release and feel back to normal soon. 

A lot of energy releases during breathwork and these temporary shifts may be experienced during your journey, and you may feel the energy release from your body in a powerful way. And as always, you are in control of your journey–you can adjust the depth of your breath to feel less intense sensations.

Comparing breathwork to meditation feels like comparing apples to oranges. They are very different. 

Although meditation is currently more well-known, breathwork is up and coming and will soon become the new “meditation” because it’s more approachable for people. 

Meditation can be too hard for people with a busy brain or ADHD. Breathwork is like finally having an off-switch for the mind. The healing and energetic shifts created during a breathwork journey make it even more powerful than meditation alone. 

Breathwork is a powerful active mediation that naturally takes your body on a spiritual journey. Every single journey is different. Humans love change and that’s also part of what makes breathwork a more sustainable practice. 

With every session being new and different, it’s exciting and keeps you motivated to continue coming back for more breathwork journeys.

If you’re still reading–I trust that there is a curiosity within you that is drawing you towards breathwork and using it to deepen your connection with yourself. 

If you’re curious about it–try it for the 6 month option and see if you love it! We have HUNDREDS of testimonials and this membership is one of our customer favorites. 

Hope to see you on Sunday on the inside! :)
