Trust. Trust was a theme that came up last week

Trust.

Trust was a theme that came up last week during a transformational breath seminar.

During a morning breath session I felt hands on my shoulders. It felt like a reassuring touch. Like someone was looking after me, grounding me, letting me know I was safe.

After the session I asked if any one had indeed put their hands on me, no one had. I brushed it off as my imagination having fun.

At lunch time a participant asked about an experience they also had during the morning breath session. The head trainer discussed the concept of trust. Can we simply trust the process without having to make a story out of it. These mystical type experiences that can be induced by breathwork simply come and go. Can we allow them too? Perhaps an answer will arise in time, perhaps not.

Then in a deeper afternoon session, I felt a hand on both of my forearms, just above the wrist. Again it felt like a reassuring loving touch. I felt held.

I wholeheartedly believe these were spirits/guides/ancestors supporting me.

As I journey on this path, a key theme rising up in me is trust.

I haven’t really trusted myself, I am not sure I fully do now. I don’t trust my opinions, or my decisions (leading to indecision). I remain silent a lot because of this. Preferring to listen and observe. And while the world needs more of that right now (!!!) it’s also important to voice our opinion from time to time (emphasis on time to time!). To let people know when lines have been crossed, when things aren’t ok.

Have you had an experience that you have pushed away, perhaps thinking it was just in your imagination, or not a big deal? Or have you had an experience that led to an instant (or slow for that matter) transformation in your perspectives of the world.

An intention for me moving forward is around trusting these experiences as they unfold, and trusting myself. What ever comes up, just staying present with it, trusting it, with no need to analyse or create a story around it.

Trust ‘it’, trust life, trust there is more than we can understand.

I am looking forward to the next time I feel the presence of my spirits/guides/ancestors. 👇

What a week. 🧙‍♂️ I feel incredibly fort

What a week. 🧙‍♂️

I feel incredibly fortunate to have now spent two weeks, in the last month, at the beautiful @earthspirit_centre training and facilitating in transformational breath®. 🧘‍♂️

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has been involved. The love, joy, support, and generosity has been incredible. Oscar was so loved and we’re so grateful he got to spend a week in that energy.

It wasn’t all light and love though. 🤣

There was a lot of crying. And there was *a lot* of fear percolating up to the surface, especially towards the end of the week. Fear around being truly vulnerable. Fear around truly speaking my mind. And writing as I think perhaps even fear of acknowledging I am in complete control, I am the one making the decisions that don’t always align with my values/desires.

During a dyad exercise it also became apparent how uncomfortable I am stepping in to my power/strength.

Katie got to have her first experience of a facilitated transformational breath® session too. That night one of the first things she said was “now I know why you want to do this so much!” 😊 It is such a powerful tool.

Now to breathe Oscar! 👶

Thank you transformational breath® family. 🌬

Is it possible we experience physical dis-ease bec

Is it possible we experience physical dis-ease because of dis-ease in our emotional, mental, or spiritual life?

We all agree stress can cause dis-ease. But how far does this go?

Well, when we create space in our lives and, in the context of this quote, enter altered states of consciousness, we may be able to see how everything is connected.

And yes I believe there is often more than one explanation as to why you may be experiencing dis-ease.

There may be a physical explanation such as environmental toxins, food reactivities or infections.

But we also know personality is strongly associated with various dis-eases ranging from IBS and autoimmune conditions to neurodegenerative conditions. This starts to cover emotional and mental elements of our existence…. because this is related to how we see and relate to the world.

Psycho-spiritual distress is defined as a crisis of values, meaning, and purpose resulting in joyless striving and a misalignment with ones core spiritual beliefs.

What do you think?

The diaphragm is kinda a big deal!

In my previous post I mentioned how the diaphragm can be involved in constipation.

But it can be involved in ssssoooo many other conditions.

Do you suffer with any of the above? ☝️

And if so have you explored diaphragmatic breathing or myofascial release for it?

And if so (!), did it help? Let me know below! 👇

Diaphragmatic breathing helps many system ranging from the neurological, gastrointestinal, lymphatic, circulatory, immunological, respiratory, and endocrine and perhaps others!?
