(Winter Solstice) 1 Hour 20 Minute Journey Within (Patreon)

Tried getting this out to you all on Winter Solstice  but my computer is old and slow and couldn't export in time. I´ll upgrade eventually. The first 10-15 minutes are the hardest..but you will eventually let go and time will not exist. 

It´s that time of the year...a time to reflect and a time to let go and allow for new beginnings. The days are getting longer, so that means there is more light and love brought with each new day. This long journey within is perfect for times like these. 

What are you grateful for this year? What do you want to bring into your life? Do you want to integrate any new healthy routines or habits? Do you want to slow down and be here now more? Whatever it is, be sure to set your intentions before any journey like this. 

These journeys are for us to step beyond our thinking mind, and step into our inner wisdom. Through long conscious connected breathing with breath holds mixed in, we let go of old thought patterns, emotions and we look toward the future with more excitement and joy. There is a lot of science backing these breathwork styles nowadays including that it´s been shown to temporarily slow down our prefrontal cortex allowing us to silence that inner critic and be more in the now. So as Joe Dispenza says, from the known to the unknown. And that's where miracles happen. 

I hope that you all can join some of my retreats and classes one day to experience the power of breathing in a group setting. 

So for this session I HIGHLY recommend laying down. You can put a pillow under your head and knees if you wish. Some people get cold, some get warm. So have a blanket near you. Wearing headphones or having a speaker nearby is encouraged. And lastly, the 20 minute meditation at the end is probably the most important part. So please stay for that. The first hour is the activation part, then comes the integration. 

*If you experience cramping in the extementies or face, you´re okay. It's a normal reaction to this breathwork. Just relax your exhales even more. If it gets too uncomfortable, return to your normal breathing. 

Much love for all of your continued support.
