Every moment of our lives is carried by the breath.
Most of the time we barely notice it. The breath rises and falls quietly as we move through the day.
When we slow down and return our attention to it, the breath becomes more than something automatic. It becomes a doorway back into presence.
For many of us on a healing journey, that doorway becomes one of the most reliable ways of coming home to ourselves.
And when people gather to breathe in community, the experience deepens. That is why I am excited to share an upcoming opportunity to join people from around the world in a moment of breathing together.
On April 11, people across the globe will observe World Breathing Day, a global event organized by the International Breathwork Foundation.
People from around the world will gather to breathe together. Some will meet in local spaces while others will join online, forming a global community for a few hours of shared breathwork.
This day matters to me because breathwork has changed my own life in ways I never expected.
It helped me begin working through layers of grief and generational trauma that had been stored in my body for years. So much tension had built up inside me that I did not even realize how disconnected I had become from my own body.
Through breathwork I began to soften that tension. Slowly my body started to relax, and I began to feel again.
It slowly began to change the way I related to myself. I started learning how to meet my own experience with patience and compassion.
Breath by breath, the tight places inside me began to unwind. Each inhale and exhale created space for healing and helped guide me back home to myself.
This year I’ll be assisting Professional Breathworker Kate Becker and her team at the New Orleans gathering.
If you happen to be nearby, we would love for you to come breathe with us.
