I walked away from that experience, changed. While some of the euphoric ease slipped as I returned to reality, the messages I received during the breathwork an the peace that I uncovered while there remain with me.

Suddenly I felt intense vibrations in my hands, my feet, my whole body. It wasn’t alarming or disconcerting. It felt like the most wonderful thing imaginable. I felt like I was smiling wide and could feel sunlight warming me as I vibrated. All self-doubt completely dissipated and I felt suddenly very aware of my power and strength.

For me, I prefer a gentler, “side door” approach. Like the close, trusted friend, that gives a gentle knock on the side door and then glides in to provide support in ways that may not rock your world or feel like a “life hack” or “rescue.” Rather, it feels like the laying of a foundation, or maintenance cleaning that helps things to move along just a little more smoothly (or a lot!).
