Breathwork for the Four Directions
Imagine yourself standing at the crossroads, the wind whispering secrets from distant lands, the sun painting the sky with vibrant hues. Each direction holds a unique energy, a story waiting to be unveiled. In many spiritual and cultural traditions, the four cardinal directions - North, South, East, and West - are more than just points on a compass; they are gateways to different aspects of ourselves and the world around us.
Starting a Home Breathwork Practice
We've all been there, haven't we? You start a new exercise routine or self-care practice with the best of intentions, full of enthusiasm and motivation. But then life gets in the way – work deadlines pile up, family commitments demand your attention, and suddenly that daily yoga session or meditation practice falls by the wayside.
Maintaining a consistent home practice can be tough, especially in our busy modern lives. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and discouraged, leading us to abandon our good intentions altogether. But what if there was a simple, accessible practice that you could easily weave into your daily routine, no matter how hectic life gets?
ADHD and Breathwork
In the realm of mental health, a journey of self-discovery often involves unraveling layers of misunderstood experiences and hidden truths. For many women, particularly those diagnosed with ADHD later in life, this journey can be a complex and emotional one. The late diagnosis often sheds light on years of feeling "different" and struggling to fit into societal norms. In this blog post, we'll look into the nuanced relationship between ADHD and breathwork, sharing personal insights and practical tips for harnessing the power of breath to find calm and clarity amidst the chaos.
This is my story of late diagnosis, lifelong struggle, and learning to love breathwork as a person with ADHD.
The Importance of Continuing Education for Breathwork Facilitators
If I'm honest, when I first finished my yoga teacher training, I felt a bit disillusioned. I expected to emerge knowing everything there was to know about yoga. It took me a while to realise that the training was just a foundation, a starting point. The real learning came from practice, from exploring different styles, and discovering the areas I was truly passionate about – like yin and restorative yoga.
And it's the same with breathwork. The initial training provides you with essential tools and knowledge, but the journey of learning and growth doesn't end there. The world of breathwork is constantly evolving. New research emerges, fresh techniques are developed, and the understanding of the mind-body connection deepens. To truly serve your clients and continue growing as a facilitator, continued education isn't just a good idea - it's essential.
