Can't Be Contained

Meditation isn't for everyone. It can be really challenging to get into a meditative state which is why I am an advocate for breathwork. The power of your breath is easy to access and brings just as many benefits as meditation. When you have deep states of resource and are using your breath to access something deeper within you, you can hold it all without feeling as heavy. You have to increase your capacity, by increasing your energy. This isn't about biohacking or having a cup of coffee because true energy comes from within our bodies. In this episode, I am talking about why you should consider the breathwork modality and a simple 90-second breathwork experience you can use whenever you need to tap into your wellbeing.

Inside this episode I jam on:

• A story about how I struggled with meditation and found breathwork
• Why it's so hard to feel yourself when you're congested with the emotionality of other people
• Why you need to use breathwork to unhook the mind
• The beautiful shift of getting out of your mind and into your body
• A simple 90-second breathwork experience
• How breathwork gives you access without waiting for an opening

You have the access to unlock your bravery and do the things that make you say, "OMG". Unlocking your bravery is all about taking action on the things that scare you.

We also chat about unbinding yourself from trauma, issues she sees women face in their careers and her new book, The Most Powerful You.

You've been given everything you could possibly wish for from your creator. You have to wake up every day and choose to reclaim your joy. It doesn't have to be extravagant. We're all born with this ability to extract joy from life and one of the access points to pleasure is the breath. That's why I am so passionate about breathwork... While so many people have been conditioned to live in the fight or flight, it's not good for the body or mind. You deserve to be in the rest and digest state where your body can stabilize the state of ease. In this episode, I'll explain how and why breathwork is so powerful.

Inside this episode I jam on:

• The two ways you can use breathwork: integrative and meditative
• How breathwork activates the limbic system and can open up emotions and memories

• How breathwork can improve vagal tone which in turn, improves your response to stress
• Why you should use breathwork to release suppressed emotions

When people come to me and tell me about how much breathwork has changed their life, it's so exhilarating. I love bringing this work to so many people and helping them to understand how they can use it to overcome life's challenges.

In this episode, I'll be sharing what those are along with two different types of breathwork practices you can incorporate into your daily life.

Inside this episode I jam on:

• How this practice isn't just about anxiety and stress
• How so many people have suppressed anger that they need to deal with
• Why pain (especially period pain) can be relieved through breathwork
• Sounding the vibration of pain out through the mouth
• How breathwork helps you to open the heart and overcome heartbreak
• The difference between integrative and meditative breathwork
