Uprise Breathwork

08/27/2022

I’ve been quiet here for a while so here is an update:

Today marks my third adventure since April 2022 Italy.

I’ll be there for 2 months following my breathwork trainer around Europe helping facilitate seminars and trainings.

Practicing Transformational Breathwork is deeply humbling. The closest analogy I can make is being a doula for releasing pain, sorrow and suffering and embracing peace and wholeness. Very simply- it puts you back in your body.

This summer, I managed to facilitate a total of 30 sessions with 10 different people. It was nothing short of amazing to witness their transformations.

When I come back in November- I’ll be certified and open a private practice in Buffalo so I can share breathwork with more people. So, if you know a space to rent- I’m looking!

Breathwork is pretty wildly popular in the Uk and Europe however I appear to be the only person practicing this type of breathwork in the upstateNY/WNY/PA/OH and bordering area of Canada. So, let’s make it a thing!

Life is meant living. Stay tuned for updates.

Some people will never care as deeply as you do; some people will never understand you, and that’s OK.
It isn’t your job to convince them to care; try to meet them where they are at, with empathy and understanding even if they cannot seem to understand you.
Guard those things you care about deeply and that make you, you. You are who you are, and that is already enough.
What needs to change isn’t that driving force of who you are but rather the kinds of people you choose to surround yourself with. Choose people who understand your soul and make you feel loved and valued and appreciated. Choose people who make you feel good about the things your heart beats for.
And if you are around people who don’t see your spark, understand that they may be petrified in their own patterns. Keep nurturing yourself - be true to your nature. That will open new doors and help you more than you know.

When you’re traveling in an outdated belief system…. It’s a lot like driving an old car that rattles, can’t get up to speed, and doesn’t have air conditioning.

On your journey to where you’re going the car rumbling and wind whistling by wear you down as the adrenaline bursts of cars honking and cutting you off keep you alert.

By the time you arrive- even though you were excited to see that friend who you haven’t seen in a couple years- you’re worn out from your journey.

Every time you travel, the anxiety of your vehicle makes you think twice or postpone your trip.

And then hopefully, you upgrade to something a bit more comfortable and reliable. Traveling is less tiresome. You can accomplish more with ease. You enjoy your friends even after a long journey.

What sort of beliefs and perspectives are acting as your outdated hoopty?

Appreciate where you’ve been, where you are, and the life you’re unfolding.

Don’t we all like to give to those who appreciate what we’re offering?

Gratitude tells the world you’re ready to receive and honor the gifts it has.

Imagine giving to someone who is always putting out their overwhelmed and frustrated. Giving them a gift will feel like giving them a burden and no one wants to pass on a burden.

Our hyper individualistic culture is rooted in trauma.

As we heal our individual trauma, we will begin to notice the ways our systems were built off of it and continue to keep us in a hyper alert state.

I noticed even as I say I want community and so do many I know- I recognize we have very little time and energy to dedicate to it. Less time to consider the worthwhile risks associated with vulnerability and allowing a level of dependence to take place in order to bond and establish relationships.

This is the same problem that those super into their work and drama suffer from. They end up with no time to build new relationships and no patience or attention for them when they have them.

Reiki is a way to help you disconnect from the grind and reconnect with yourself and others. It helps build loving, healthy connections so community is possible.

Navigate towards a safe love even if it’s not familiar.

Reiki helps bridge the gap.

Real love is intense, but its not dangerous...
