Bro Science Breathwork
Breathing deeply and with ease is one of the most potent ways to make love to and connect with oneself on a moment to moment basis. It can transform a life...
Un-forced breath, which moves into the deepest recesses of our being, unobstructed, steers us back to our core essence.
To clarify, I’m not referring to the yang obsessed/forced “breathwork” trend; unless you want to blow-out your nervous system, burn up your fluids, stagnate your liver, and drain life force.
I mean connecting with the gentle, subtle, nuanced yin of the breath. The natural intelligence of the breath, which arises via deep listening; drawing you deeper into your own freedom - taking you by the hand, and leading you back home, at its own pace.
This relationship, once practiced with patience & presence, will gift restoration, freedom, love, and a balanced bliss to every cell of your being - in a way in which you are being met, carried and supported throughout your experience of you.
All of this is effortlessly arrived to, without having to sodomize your nervous system with disconnected and excessive hyperventilating - aka bro science.
The amount of individuals I continue to work with, who have been chronically damaged by forceful trendy breathwork practices continues to rise.
In many instances these situations could of been completely avoided if they had listened to their intuition, and not the ridiculously under experienced “facilitator” telling them to continue pushing through the “trauma leaving the body”.
It isn’t trauma leaving the body. It’s the body being traumatized. It’s the system suffering and responding to a damaging practice.
Trauma arises through many forms of embodiment practice, and it may appear similar to pain in its expression. This is where practitioner experience, maturity and understanding of what’s actually happening with each individuals system is crucial.
When a facilitators gospel and devotion is to the practice, the student is fucked! Because everything will be bypassed to honor the technique.
Everyone is different. Each individual experience requires a deeply nuanced approach, specifically tailored to how they digest and express life force. This increases 10-fold when you are supporting trauma release. Because once it comes to the surface, do they have the necessary tools to process it?
Unfortunately in the name of what’s trendy, most of that is tossed to the wayside, and it’s full steam ahead.
To everyone attending events, be discerning for your precious self, especially when you are being asked to follow and push through your boundaries.
I’m not saying that bro-breathwork doesn’t help some people, because it definitely gives a totally disembodied person an opportunity to experience themselves in a different state for a moment - To open their eyes to other options.
It can also help very physically robust/numb individuals to restart the engine - But something so excessive should never be a regular practice.
Generally speaking, the more excessive the practice - the further away you’re running...
Much love
