Becoming You

Breathwork Breakthroughs


Listen Later

I'm a storyteller at heart and I love hearing good stories, and this week's episode has several examples of breakthroughs that show the true power of breathwork, through the course of several sessions, or even just one.

I promise, every single one of you listening to this podcast has experiences such as this, where you are completely unconscious to it right now and tell yourself you feel stuck, or you don't really know where you are going in life. There's a lack of clarity.

All the symptoms that you're experiencing in your life are absolutely a result of things that have not been processed and are stuck energetically in your body.

We don't know what the real problem is, and we think we know the real problem, and that is so dangerous that we think we know what the problem is and then it doesn't end up fixing it.

In my own business, breathwork is a tremendous tool for coping with worry. I find myself in a default mode of worrying about money and my business, and my family can tell that I am down about something. I've become aware of the pattern and know the worry is not helping me anymore.

The change needs to happen at a physical level, instead of the traditional mindset from the top down where we think about it in our head, and then we push it down into our bodies and take action, that is an uphill process. It's really so hard to make changes that way. It requires a lot of willpower; we have only so much before we give up and get frustrated.

And through breathwork, we take a bottoms-up approach where you make the change in your body, and then your mind takes command from your body, and then you take action.

I have felt so much unexpected anger and rage that I had been holding inside myself for so long, since my childhood, in breathwork sessions.

We always project onto others what we don't want to explore within ourselves, and this breakthrough changed how I was able to handle my son's anger, I had so much understanding and empathy that I had never had for his emotional episodes.

Whenever my son expressed rage and anger, it would spark outrage in me. We would be in conflict with each other and fight with each other about his emotions. But once I did this breathwork session, I found that I had so much space, time, and energy, and that allowed him to not feel worthless because he was having these reactions.

A client recently reached out to me to guide her through her first breathwork session, she had been experiencing a tight feeling in her body even though she had the best month yet in her business. Her session uncovered her pattern of asking for permission to uplevel, and as she grows and expands, she no longer has to seek permission from others and she can allow herself that freedom to expand.

All of this came through in her breath work session, and she also said that in the beginning, even though she was trying to take deep breaths, she could tell her breath was constricted and very tight, and towards the end of the session she was, she was feeling so many incredible physical sensations in her body, and she was able to transmute that heavy energy that she felt into light tingly energy.

Breathwork is a huge component of the work that I do myself and with my clients, and hearing of how a spiritual practice, or habit has helped others can have a ripple effect and get our brains going about how we can apply those experiences to our own lives and what kind of breakthroughs we can have.

I would love to hear from you and what your thoughts are, what did you take away as a result of listening to this particular episode?
