Not significant enough to challenge. Polite. For a long time, I thought that was kindness. Years ago, I read The Four Agreements and was struck by the line, “Be impeccable with your word.”Not just in big promises.But in small, casual moments. The other d...

One in particular seems to be getting especially recognised, and that is "9D Breathwork". Ive had a few people reach out recently and ask how my work compares.Both the work I do, Conscious Connected Breathwork, and 9D breathwork share a common foundation.Both 9D Breathwork and conscious connected breath use a continuous breathing pattern, a cyclic breath, without pauses. This style of breathwork is k...

To analyse, to justify, to explain, to stay in control. The mind becomes the place we turn to for "certainty" and safety. But the mind can only work with what it already knows. It loops, it rationalises, it protects, and while all of that can feel productive, none of it actually heals.Because healing doesn’t happen in the mind, it occurs in the body.And when the truth in t...

I loved this question; I'd never really considered it before. Interestingly, they are all inextricably connected.The first was obvious,Freedom: There have been opportunities that I have turned down that to an outsider would have appeared to be a perfect fit because I could see that they would limit my potential for autonomy. I am here for the complete human experience and do not wish for that to be restricted unnecessarily. This helps m...

For me, it was Psychotherapy. And for a while, it was incredibly supportive. To have someone to express what was arising within me, and to be seen in that. But eventually, it felt like I hit a wall. People would ask me, "So you think it's helping?" and I was unable to answer with conviction. In some ways, absolutely, but it felt like there was more that I wasn't able t...

The graph typically displays what looks like some sort of frequency, usually shown in green or white. These posts are often accompanied by captions mentioning “stargates,” “DNA activation,” or other cryptic phrases suggesting a “shift in consciousness.”But what exactly is being shown in these graphs?The Earth has a natural “...

I'm very grateful to be in this space to look back with gratitude on the last few weeks that were.I would have felt immeasurably differently if you'd asked me a few days ago.I was harbouring a certain “F the world” energy. I'd spiralled into a deep dark place, a place where it felt like light(ness) was unattainable. A distant memory.I was s...

Firstly, and this goes with working with any practitioner. Find a facilitator you resonate with, ideally, someone you feel safe with. It’s been proven that a large percentage of what influences the effectiveness of any therapy is the client's ability to feel safe with the facilitator. You may do this by searching on Google and checking o... Fri, 01 Nov 2024 13:13:47 +1300 http://www.navigatingbreath.com/blog/#post137179
