Breathwork for Emotional Regulation
Up until recently, if you'd asked me, I would have smugly said, "I'm not an angry person, it’s just not something I experience." But life, as it often does, had a few lessons in store for me when I became a parent. As I've gone on my own journey of self-discovery, I've come to realise that anger has been lurking beneath the surface all along.
Growing up in a household where anger was seen as a "bad" emotion, I learned to suppress it, to bury it deep within so I could still be a “good girl”. Over time, I developed a clever disguise for my anger: sadness. In my family sadness is more acceptable, more palatable, and somehow less threatening. Sadness got hugs. Anger got silent treatment.

The Start of My Breathwork Journey
My journey into breathwork began with two pivotal experiences that drew my attention to the importance of proper breathing techniques. In 2022, I participated in a local community theatre show. The musical director noticed I had shallow breathing patterns, which was hindering my vocal projection, so I tried just simple breathing deeper on my own. Six months later, I decided to try Reiki for the first time. Interestingly, the Reiki teacher also pointed out my shallow breathing and emphasized the benefits of deeper breathing techniques for both physical and emotional health.
Movement and Breathwork: A Deeper Embodiment
Have you ever experienced that magical flow state in a vinyasa yoga class, where your breath effortlessly guides each movement, creating a seamless dance between body and mind? It's a feeling of complete immersion, where time seems to dissolve and you become one with the rhythm of your breath and the flow of your body. This harmonious union of breath and movement is at the heart of an embodied breathwork practice.
Rituals for Morning Breathwork
You want to start using Breathwork in your life but the idea of incorporating breathwork into your already busy mornings might feel like just another thing to add to your to-do list.
Morning breathwork doesn't need to be complicated or time-consuming. It's about carving out a few precious moments or even seconds at the start of your day to connect with your breath and set a positive intention for what lies ahead. Think of it as a gentle wake-up call for your body and mind, replacing that groggy feeling with a sense of calm clarity and vitality.

The Journey is Long But I am Going to Walk It
Why am I here? My story begins at a place where my life was in turmoil, I spent most of my childhood in fight and flight mode, and this was a place where I had to survive, I could never show any kinds of vulnerability as this was a sign of weakness, so my only defence was to fight.
