In thinking about what we should focus on for this week’s Breathwork group this theme of befriending ourselves kept coming up. If I had to define my intention with these offerings this would be the crux of it, that you rediscover yourself at the physical, emotional and spirit level as home. Perhaps we can put down the bat of judgement against ourselves, or at least practice putting it down so that we may truly befriend ourselves. Breathwork asks a lot of us, it asks us to temporarily surrender ego and be witness to ourselves. Our focus in this group will be to practice doing that, witnessing and befriending ourselves at the level of breath and sensation.

Breathwork is an active meditation that by occupying the mind creates space for the body to heal physically, emotionally and spiritually. This is a practice that can aid in letting go of old narratives, traumas and fears as well as connecting you to clarity, inspiration and a greater sense of embodiment. If you have been feeling stuck in any area of your life, having difficulty allowing love in, moving past an old wound, I invite you to try this practice. As an active practice it can bring up emotions, but know that the body won't bring up anything it isn't ready to heal and the energy of the group will hold and support you. After Breathwork sessions people usually leave saying they feel energized and lighter.
