Where Awareness Goes Energy Flows
FOUNDATIONS OF THE WORK
My own spiritual and wellness practices draw from multiple ancient & Sacred lineages, including both Native American traditions and Astrological sciences, among others. All weave and work well together for me, as they stem from similar roots of practicing inner-awareness, Self-Love and having an active, committed relationship with Mother Earth/Nature and the Universe.
Bhakti is the "Yoga of Devotion" and is at the core of my personal healing journey. The Sanskrit word Bhakti means “to adore or worship God”. and my belief is that God lives in each of us. Therefore this unconditional Love is meant to be expressed not only to God (or whichever Name/word you choose), to ourselves & all beings as well.
Bhakti is often referred to as "The Path of Grace", or “The Path of Love” and is, like any other form of yoga, a path toward self-realization. The Bhakti practices of selfless service, or Seva, and Kirtan, (chanting mantras), are very important aspects of my personal spiritual path.
I share about these practices and offer them as tools and support in the EXPLORE work.
Breathwork, or Pranayama (Conscious Breathing), is a simple, yet profound conscious breathing technique. It is an active meditation used to clear stuck energy in the body, and re-connect you with your intuition.
With Breathwork you have the power to heal old wounds, cultivate a deeper, clearer connection with your authentic self, and experience a way of being that is lighter, more free, and in alignment with your soul's highest purpose.
When we clear stuck energy, we also make space for creative energy to flow. Creativity is a powerful tool for piercing through your pain, letting go of the past, and shifting your life to a place of freedom, joy, peace, and love – organically opening to that childlike aspect of yourself, and welcoming imagination without fear or judgment. When you experience a connection with creative energy, pathways in all areas of your life start to open, and you are able to see your whole life as Art.
These two practices are a powerful combination, and an integral part of the work we do together.
Breathwork assists in the relief of physical pain and can drastically reduce stress levels, therefore is highly supportive in overcoming emotional trauma, imbalances and preventing future illness or dis-ease. It relaxes the nervous system, eliminates toxins from the body & blood, and restores balance emotionally, physically & spiritually.
Listen briefly about my experience with breathwork:
In the Heal Yourself With Breathwork course, you learn to work with the Breath to discover where you are "stuck". Through this work you have the opportunity to explore deep within yourself, reconnect to your Heart, and experience profound clarity and peace.
Where Awareness Goes Energy Flows…
“The breath reflects the condition of the mind and it is a very accurate gauge of one’s mental state. When agitated, for example, our breathing will be very shallow and quick. In the face of fear we often breathe heavily or even hold the breath. When sad or depressed, there will be a deep, sighing breath. It was discovered that by changing the breathing patterns, the mind was also affected and changed. We can direct our prana, our life-force, with our thoughts. The breath and the mind are so intertwined that wherever one goes, the other follows. By sending our thoughts to an affected area, we send our prana. That is the secret behind self-healing.”
