Soul Retrieval Through Breathwork
In the tapestry of our lives, there are threads that sometimes become frayed, disconnected, or even lost. These threads represent parts of ourselves – our essence, our vitality, our wholeness. In the language of many healing traditions, this fragmentation is often referred to as "soul loss," and it can occur as a result of trauma, emotional wounds, or challenging life experiences.
These lost parts of ourselves, sometimes called "orphaned parts" or "exiled selves," can carry a heavy burden of pain, fear, or shame. They may manifest as limiting beliefs, self-sabotaging patterns, or a sense of disconnection from our true selves. While we may not consciously remember the events that led to their separation, these orphaned parts continue to influence our lives, often in subtle and unconscious ways.
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.
