How Breathwork has changed me.

I first experienced Breathwork/Rebirthing in my early twenties but at the time, I was too attached to my identity to really do the work - hello tetany! I still wanted to heal myself, so I went down the energy healing path - became attuned to Reiki, did several Pranic healing courses and shared what I learnt with friends and family. I took the energy healing work as far as I could take it at the time but found that ultimately, my deepest wounds were still calling me.
Life happens and after experiencing some of my own traumas, it was time to go back to the breath. It is quite wonderful for me to reflect on the journey of the past 11 years and see how much Breathwork has changed me.
The biggest changes I’ve noticed are –
I’m less reactive. Man, was I reactive before Breathwork??? I had enough angry/reactive energy to power a small city. I see now that nothing is personal and find myself responding to life from my heart. This is probably the shift that has had the most impact.
My boundaries are strong, and I feel more in my power. To be powerful is not about power over others. It is the power to be in my core, my heart, being true to myself regardless of what is happening around me. Another big shift.
I’ve rediscovered my joy and creativity. I didn’t realise how much I was allowing the outside world and circumstances to dictate my state of being. I now see and feel how much I am the one in control of my emotional wellbeing and it has nothing to do with what’s happening outside of me.
The list could go on and on. More presence, joy, stronger boundaries and feeling empowered. It’s worth all of the work I have done to get here. It doesn’t mean, however, that life stuff doesn’t still happen. That’s the deal with this physical world. But I face it a open, curious heart and can see how loved and guided I am and always have been.
Life is easier, more abundant and I’m excited to be a part of it.
