Each Breathwork session is a rebirth, an updating of your system, an intimate conversation between your body and your breath.

I had a lovely time with Azuro today. His energy was high walking into the arena. I imagined my energy dropping through my hands and feet and a couple of minutes later he walked slowly with his neck extending down and stayed by my side.

We enjoyed this for 20 minutes and then he nudged me gently in the back so I stopped and turned to stand with him. As you can see, he rested his hind leg and and our connection remained quiet and mindful.

March Breathing Circle on Sunday 1st.

If you want to feel some relief from stress and tension then breathing consciously might be for you.

During the session we will breathe conscious and use sound to bring relief to the body and mind.

Often people feel lighter, access an inner peace that is new, let go of tension and stress amd/or feel energised at the end.

Maybe you are a newly qualified therapist or a counsellor with years of experience but want to learn about deeper connections in therapeutic relationships.

The good thing is that the information is right there in your living breathing body.
The workshop will help you to gather the information in a somatic way.

I know I will be ok is a thought of trust, a knowing within the body. When you know you know. When there is no doubt the body relaxes.

When you reach this place you neither need to try to control things outside of yourself or things within yourself.

EMDR and Breathwork can show where we are in the knowing process. They help us notice the thoughts and feelings and if we can allow them to flow and know we will be ok.

Noticing without judgement, noticing without holding yourself back. Watching the process helps you know how you might be holding, stopping, fearing.

Becoming conscious of your internal process is always useful because it offers choice. Choice to let go or continue to hold or stop the flow. Either are available and your choice and decision are the most important aspects in your journey.

Coming into stillness through meditation allows us to see, feel, notice how we are within ourselves. Without this awareness we are missing out on so much. So much because we are precious, we are valuable and we are part of the natural world. 🙏💜

We have so much depth to us as human beings and most of our depth and wisdom remains hidden from us unless we turn our attention inward.

Closing our eyes and taking our attention into the body allows us access to that inner wisdom. EMDR can give us awareness to the connections between our thoughts and the emotions, sensations, stuckness or flow within areas of our body. The connections and channels between brain and body, brain and organs, brain and tissue.

Breathwork, when working with subtle breathing practice can offer similar access between the brain and the body, organs and wisdom. I know because I have worked with both Breathwork for the last 6 years and EMDR for 7 years.

The more I search inwardly the more I release myself from the constraints of narrow mindedness and limitation. Feeling heaviness, stuckness, suppression transforming as it moves through the channels of the body is tremendously freeing.

A deeply intimate and profound relationship begins to develop with yourself the more you do this and you do shed old versions of yourself again and again.

I could not have written this post 10 years ago because I knew nothing of the journey that is possible. Now I know and want to help others know that the path exists. 🙏💜
