There’s something really beautiful about witnessing the body speak when the mind has had to stay quiet for so long.
When the hands start to curl or tighten in breathwork healing, I don’t see it as tension to get rid of, I see it as the heart finally expressing what it hasn’t been able to hold safely.
It’s like the body saying, “I’ve carried this long enough.”
And breathwork healing becomes the space where you don’t force anything… you just allow it to unfold, gently, in its own time.
Nothing in your body is random. It’s all communication 🤍
If you’ve breathworked with me in person, you’ll know I often place stones or crystals into your hands. The ocean, these natural pieces, are a reminder of connection, to grounding, to presence, and to the universal energy we’re all part of.
In breathwork healing, the arms and hands are an extension of the heart space. As we breathe into the heart, it begins to communicate with us.
So if you’ve experienced heartache, low self-worth, control patterns, or stored emotional weight in that space, it may show up through the hands as they begin to release.
“Claw hands” are actually one of the most common experiences in a first session. Not because something is wrong, but because the body is finally letting go of what the heart has been holding onto for too long.
Have you experienced this in Breathwork? 🤏🏼🤏🏼
