What is 9D Breathwork?

9D Breathwork works by engaging three levels of your system at once: the breath, the subconscious mind, and the energy body.

1. The Breath (Physical Level)
You’re guided through conscious connected breathing - a rhythmic pattern that increases oxygenation, activates emotional release and supports nervous system regulation. This breath helps shift stuck tension and opens deeper states of presence.

2. The Audio (Neurological Level)
You wear noise-cancelling headphones that create a private, immersive sound field just for you. Inside the audio journey are:

• binaural beats

• solfeggio frequencies

• layered music

• hypnotic cues

• themed affirmations

• subliminal messages

• nature frequencies

• emotional arcs woven into the soundtrack

Each element has a purpose: to help you drop out of your thinking mind and into the deeper layers where healing happens.

3. The Subconscious (Emotional Level)
As the breath softens your defences, the sound gently speaks to the subconscious. Visualisations, messaging and emotional arcs guide you through release, insight or deep rest…whatever your system needs.

4. The Energetics (Subtle Body Level)
Your facilitator supports the room with trauma-informed presence. Some sessions include optional energy work or light touch to calm the system, reinforce safety or help the body complete an emotional cycle.

5. The Journey Arc
Each session follows a carefully crafted structure:

• grounding

• breath practice

• guided breathing

• emotional or energetic peak

• slow return

• integration

• stillness

This arc allows the body to release safely while the mind and nervous system are held.

At Kora Wellness, journeys run between 60–90 minutes and are tailored to support activation, emotional release or deep parasympathetic rest depending on what your system is calling for.

9D Breathwork can support transformation on multiple layers - emotional, physical, mental and energetic. Many people come to Kora when they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift on their own.

This work can help you:

• Release stored emotions sitting in the body

• Calm and regulate an overwhelmed nervous system

• Shift patterns of anxiety or looping thoughts

• Reprogram limiting beliefs that keep you small

• Feel more grounded, centred and present

• Reignite creativity, motivation and clarity

• Connect more deeply to intuition and inner guidance

Activating journeys help clear stagnation, reconnect you with vitality, and support emotional release in a structured, safe and guided way.

Down-regulating journeys calm the entire system, offering deep rest and relief from stress, burnout, hypervigilance and emotional overload.

Most people describe 9D Breathwork as feeling like a reset for the mind and body. Something they didn’t realise they needed until they felt the difference.

Absolutely! 9D Breathwork is intentionally designed to be safe, supportive and accessible, even if you’ve never done breathwork before.

From the moment you walk into the studio, your facilitator guides you through:

• How the breath pattern works

• What sensations may arise

• What to do if anything feels intense

• How to soften, slow down or adjust at any time

• How to ground back into your body when needed.

You’re shown exactly how to breathe, given a gentle practice round and supported step-by-step throughout the entire journey. There is no pressure to perform, no expectation to “get it right,” and absolutely no forcing.

You remain in control the entire time; your pace, your breath, your process.

Many first-timers actually find 9D easier than traditional breathwork because the multidimensional audio guides them naturally, almost like being carried through the experience.

A 9D session at Kora is structured but spacious; a gentle arc designed to help your body feel safe enough to release.

Here’s the flow:

1. Arrival & welcoming
You’re greeted by your facilitator and invited to settle in. If it’s your first time, we’ll answer any questions, explain what to expect and help you choose a comfortable spot to lie down.

2. Orientation & breath practice
Before anything begins, we:

• Introduce the theme of the journey

• Explain the specific breathing pattern

• Walk you through the physical sensations you may feel

• Give you a short practice round so your body understands the rhythm

You’ll never be asked to do anything unfamiliar without preparation.

3. Getting Comfortable
You can choose:

• A blanket

• An eye mask

• Noise-cancelling headphones

• Pillows for support

We also check whether you are comfortable receiving supportive, optional energetic touch during moments of emotional intensity.

4. The Journey
Once the music begins, the headphones guide you through:

• A grounding meditation

• Conscious connected breathing

• Sound frequencies and binaural beats

• Hypnotic cues

• Subliminal messages

• Visualisation and belief rewiring

• Emotional release or deep rest, depending on the journey

Some tracks include breath holds, optional vocal release, or specific pacing cues - always guided and optional.

5. Completion & Integration
The journey closes with:

• Soft music

• A slow return to natural breathing

• Gentle stillness

• Time to reflect

• Optional sharing or questions

You’re then offered a warm tea to help ground the body and reconnect with the space around you.

Many people describe the end as feeling peaceful, spacious, or like something heavy finally loosened.

Most sessions run 60–90 minutes, depending on the journey type.

This includes:

• Opening grounding

• Breathwork practice

• The full 9D immersion

• A slow return

• Integration time

• Space for questions, sharing or reflection

Longer journeys allow subconscious work to unfold gently and naturally, without rushing emotional release or forcing the body into intensity before it’s ready.

If you’re new, sensitive, or nervous, shorter sessions are available to help your body ease into the work with full safety and support.

Yes, and for many people, this is the primary reason they try 9D Breathwork.

Stress and anxiety often show up as:

• racing thoughts

• tightness in the chest

• feeling “on edge”

• difficulty resting or switching off

• emotional overwhelm

• chronic tension in the body.

9D Breathwork helps interrupt these cycles by guiding the body out of fight-or-flight and into deep parasympathetic rest.

Down-regulating journeys, in particular, use:

• slow rhythmic breath

• calming frequencies

• soft hypnotic cues

• grounding visualisations

• gentle nervous system resets.

Activating journeys help move the deeper emotional charge that often fuels chronic stress, allowing the body to release tension that talking alone cannot access.

Over time, people often report:

• better sleep

• improved emotional resilience

• clearer thinking

• less reactivity

• a sense of “coming back home” in their body.

Yes. Because 9D Breathwork can create strong physiological and emotional shifts, some conditions require additional care.

We recommend seeking medical advice first if you have, or experience:

• Cardiovascular conditions (e.g. high/low blood pressure, arrhythmia, history of heart attack)

• Epilepsy or seizure disorders

• Severe or unmanaged mental health conditions (e.g. schizophrenia, psychosis – not suitable if in active psychosis)

• Pregnancy (not suitable if pregnant)

• History of stroke or traumatic brain injury

• Glaucoma or retinal detachment

• Asthma (please bring your inhaler when attending)

• Recent surgery or injuries aggravated by deep breathing or movement

• Use of medications that alter breathing, awareness or mood regulation

• Any medical or psychological condition that may be worsened by stress or intense breathwork.

This doesn’t mean you can’t attend - but you may be better suited to a down-regulating session or a more personalised, gentle 1:1.

Your wellbeing always comes first, and we’re happy to help you choose the safest option.
