Loretta Cella on Breathwork and the Elements of Success


Listen Later

How do you move from being in fear to surrender, which opens to the vastness of opportunities and success?

Breathwork allows one to tap into self-awareness and consciousness, so you're able to unblock the energy of trauma and come up with clear thoughts, so you learn to trust and create beautiful ideas.

Loretta Cella has a Masters in Leadership with over 1,500 hours of ICF coaching experience under two international coaching institutions, Prosci Change Management certification and body therapy breathwork also under two well-known leaders David Elliot and Rebecca Kordecki. She has worked with a full spectrum of populations in various parts of the world and has been able to hone in on her skills and develop a real passion for creating high-quality, innovative programs, and supporting projects for an array of clients. In 2007, she founded a charity that now has served 6000 youth with leadership skills in partnership with other organizations globally.

In this episode, Loreta shares that SUCCESS is an acronym, and this is what it stands for:

S - elf reflection

U - understanding that limitations are self-imposed

C - ourage 

C - ooperation / community

E - evaluation 

S - kills 

S - ervice

When you grow in yourself, you create a community that keeps you passionate about doing something more, giving to others, serving them. When you do things in service, that's when you cultivate sustainability, and that's where success comes.

Just as we're talking about success, breathwork is not far from the notion of that. And Loreta also shares important insights on this realm in transitioning your life of overwhelm and addiction to one of clarity and focus.

"When we surrender, when we let go of control, we open the door to a vastness within us, the possibilities which creates vulnerability for some folks. But, in that vulnerability is exceptional power."
