I was first introduced to breathwork through a friend in California when she took me a class in Santa Monica. She was thrilled to share this life changing practice that she had experienced with me. I had no clue taking a class on breathing could be so profound, but I sure do now!
Before class started, I remember sitting in the room becoming more and more nervous as the facilitator prepared us for what we may experience. I also remember feeling intrigued and excited! During the practice itself, the breath, the experience and body sensations were something I had never felt before in my life. Feelings of sadness, gratitude and then so much peace. I healed part of my soul that day that had been broken for a while. I even let out a big belly laugh, which I hadn’t experienced often or in a very long time. When our session was complete, I turned to my friend Barbara and told her how much I loved her and how thankful I was to her for sharing this practice with me.
This day. This moment. This class changed everything for me.
I knew right then that part of my purpose on this earth was to share this healing practice with everyone I could.
Breathwork tapped me into connection. It has allowed me to drop judgement against myself and to feel more confident in who I am and how I want to show up for the people in my life. I have dropped walls of protection to live in more joy, love and peace — so that people can see me for who I really am and not the person I hide behind when I feel fear arise. In fact, hiding just doesn’t happen as much anymore without my judgement dominating me.
From this new found confidence, I walked through one of the scariest doors of my life and pioneered a new path here at home, for people to discover this tool that barely anybody knew about. What a saviour this tool could be for so many people around the world. I completed my training and now teach people from all over while the community of breathwork continues to grow and transform lives everywhere.
People ask me how can breathwork give them access to this same sense of freedom and clarity. All I can really say is keep BREATHING. Have the courage to show up for yourself in the most vulnerable, beautiful ways. Stay open, listen and trust that you are exactly where you need to be to discover your own healing.
