Hello Beloved Friends
Let’s take 3 intentional deep breaths
If you have ever had an internet meeting with me, you know that I start every meeting this way.
Taking intentional breaths is one of my most reliable grounding practices. It always amazes me how something so simple as breathing can be so grounding and transformative.
Breathwork is an ancient practice with roots in multiple cultures. When I”m not traveling I actually start each day with the below breathwork routine
let’s regulate our nervous systems together!!!
Tomorrow (November 5th) I’m holding a little zoom meeting where we will take breaths and do some gentle movement to regulate our nervous system!
We will be meeting over zoom at 12pm PST/ 3pm EST!!
I hope to see you in the zoom!
My practice of self regulation is inspired by a quote from Thich Naht Hanh
"I like to use the example of a small boat crossing the Gulf of Siam. In Vietnam, there are many people, called boat people, who leave the country in small boats. Often the boats are caught in rough seas or storms, the people may panic, and boats may sink
But if even one person aboard can remain calm, lucid, knowing what to do and what not to do, he or she can help the boat survive. His or her expression – face, voice – communicates clarity and calmness, and people have trust in that person. They will listen to what he or she says.
One such person can save the lives of many."
I am grateful to be anchored in my practices as the storm rages around me
