I remember sitting in circle for the first time, the absolute panic gripping me at the thought of speaking into a space full of strangers. How scared I was of being seen & heard. When the talking stick came to me - passed around to signal whose turn it is to share - there was a distinct trembling in my voice, shaking in my hands, the strongest desire to pass it along without uttering a word. Not because I had nothing to say, but because I had not yet met the part of myself that was brave enough to express it.
This is an ongoing journey for me. Breathwork has opened the way for me to share authentically with others, to share parts of myself & this human experience that don’t always feel welcome outside of these spaces.
Sitting in circle or in 1:1 sessions didn’t give me a voice - it helped me remember that I’ve had one all along. It’s supported me in finding the courage to use it, in learning that I can feel the shake in my voice or the tightness in my throat & speak up anyway. It’s reminded me that my voice is sacred, that sharing in safe spaces is medicine, not only for me but for the world. That speaking even softly carries its own power. It’s given me the range to explore both ends of the spectrum.
Breathwork is an ongoing practice, helping me find more layers & depths to my voice. I believe it can offer the same to you too.
