BREATHWORK
CARETAKING THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
With social media and global news at our fingertips and the amount of time we spend on screens and absorbing information in general (let alone our own personal peaks and valleys in life), our nervous system is bound to feel overwhelmed, hijacked, contracted or in a state of disarray.
If there is one thing that I know breathwork is able to support us with, it’s with helping us to ground our nervous system so that we can face life’s challenges with less reactivity (or dissociating) and more stability. The practice offers us a space to both process and purge as well as a space to land into a more meditative, neutral and regenerative state.
Life challenges are a necessary part of our personal and collective evolution… and breathwork is the best medicine I know to help us prepare to meet and move through them.
___________
We’ll begin class in circle with an introduction to the breath and a communal conversation around the theme before diving into the main ingredient, the breath. We’ll also close our time together in circle.
BREATHWORK IS
This particular style of Breathwork is an active meditation technique that allows you to navigate and tend to your inner terrain by connecting with your breath to calm and ground your nervous system while relieving your mind and body of stuck, stagnant energy — in turn, creating a pathway for both an emotional and somatic release and the creation of new neural pathways.
Through liberating tension, stress and even limiting thought patterns, you’re better able to connect with the innate wisdom within, which can be a strong catalyst for opening your heart to honest self-love, self-healing, and self-acceptance.
Although it’s considered an activating breathwork practice, it has a feminine touch.
