In this episode of 'The Spiritual Uplevel Podcast', host Jeri Cristine speaks with Jake Parent, a breathwork facilitator and shaman. Jake, who transitioned from being a C-level executive, now utilizes breathwork and plant medicine to help individuals live 'elegant' lives, which he describes as simple, beautiful, and effective. Jeri and Jake discuss how breathwork can resolve deep-seated anxieties and help connect the mind, body, and emotions. They dive into the technical and spiritual aspects of breathwork, the concept of living an 'elegant' life, and the nature of personal transformation. Jeri shares her personal experiences and the profound impacts of Jake's teachings on her life, while Jake explains the mechanisms behind conscious connected breathwork and how it helps people achieve a state of equanimity. This conversation is part one of a two-part series with Jake Parent.
