Description
Have the past few months gotten you feeling more anxious or indecisive on a daily basis as you navigate quarantining, working from home, parenting, keeping up with friends, managing the news cycle, trying to eat right and exercise while you try not to get sucked into the distraction of social media and the like?
Did that long sentence hit you just so and make you feel more anxious?
Join me for a 3-day challenge where, in just 45 minutes each day, we’ll navigate these anxious and indecisive moments, see what’s behind them, pinpoint how they appear in your body and use tools to help you:
Pause and not act rashly out of fear
Use breathwork as an on-the-spot tool for clarity
Better trust your intuition and the answers that come from breathwork
Whether you’re new to this practice or want a structure to get you back into it, this challenge is for you!
Added bonus: Free pre-workshop on Aug 10, 7:00 pm, for challenge participants including a group breathwork session!

What's breathwork?
It's a three-part breath with two inhales and one exhale, repeated rhythmically. You perform it lying down, and it's a much more active form of meditation.
What's it look like to do breathwork at a virtual event like this?
Be sure to create a calming space for yourself: wear comfortable clothing, prepare a supportive surface to lie down on, and have a blanket and pillow ready.
Even though you may be solo for this session, you're still energetically part of the virtual group, and because of that, the open, loving community helps provide support and encourage fearlessness on your part.
We'll start the session by grounding and chatting for a bit.
Then you'll lie down and place your laptop/phone so that you're visible from the waist up.
I'll lead you through the active part of the breathwork where you'll do that three-part breath for an extended period of time. I'll help guide you and try to hold things steady for anything that may come up.
After that, you'll get to enjoy a still, quiet, restful meditation.
What's the result?
Like everything, it's best to show up and just be in the process and leave the results to the universe. That said, as you get further into the breathwork session, your mind gives way to your body. You often feel physical sensations that are of a higher vibration. That moves energy internally so that you can let go of the mental chatter way more easily than just walking around thinking.
And it's that bit of open space that brings a feeling of lightness, a feeling of connection, and often clarity about things you're seeking.
