Description
It happens - maybe right away, maybe five minutes later, but these days, it happens pretty rapidly: the headlines come in, the e-mails start, the social media chatter commences. And any rest that we received from the night before gets tainted with worry, attempts to control all the things around us that are uncontrollable, and worse, anxiety snowballing into hopelessness. And, unfortunately, it's likely going to continue through this month of October as the election continues to rile us and Covid continues to weigh upon us.
But I'm here to offer you some relief, some solution. We can do something to help ourselves out. We can make a commitment to start the day from a place of trust, a place of abundance. We can give our bodies a chance to settle and ground. We can give our spirits a chance to expand and thereby better handle any surprises and anxieties that may be a part of our day.
Can you commit to 30 minutes each day - Monday, Oct 12 to Friday, Oct 16 - to join in a guided breathwork. You can try it live with me every day or get a recording to breathe on your own at another time.
Try it for a day. Try it for a couple days. Or really make a change and commit to all five days (at a reduced cost). As they say, nothing changes if nothing changes. Why don't you try and step back from the rollercoaster?
Just 30 minutes each morning (or another part of the day if you're joining from outside North America!), from 7:30 am EST to 8:00 am EST. We'll get on Zoom, go right into a guided breathwork session, and get you going.
We're not gonna make it if we stay in worry, stay in scarcity. Let's grab some joy together. It may just turn into a morning ritual for you!
(Note: The evening prior to each day's session, you'll receive a link for accessing the virtual group. A recording will be provided afterwards.)
A number of free single morning sessions are set aside for individuals who identify as BBIPOC (Black Brown Indigenous People of Color). Please use the Complimentary ticket feature for this purpose, and if you don't mind, contact chris@chris-phipps and let me know what day you'd like to attend.

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 for a minute or two.
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.
We'll be in and out in a half hour.
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.
