Coming back to your authentic self isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about rewiring the anxious brain, releasing old core beliefs, and gently returning to who you were before fear took the lead.

Through Integral Breath Therapy, the body learns to soften, the nervous system relearns safety, and the mind becomes open to new, more aligned pathways.

This is the work:
✨ Releasing fear stored in the body
✨ Updating the stories you’ve
carried for too long
✨ Reconnecting to your inner truth
✨ Remembering your purpose

When the body feels safe, the soul can speak again.
You’re allowed to return home to yourself.

What distinguishes intention-setting from making a resolution? In general, resolutions are goal-oriented. A common resolution is to start or stop doing something, such as “I’ll start meditating,” “I’ll exercise every day,” or “I’ll stop drinking coffee.” An external result, or outcome of the resolution, is something that can be crossed off a list.

The focus of intentions is more inward. We think about how we want to feel or how we want our lives to be when we make intentions. Intentions are centred on the now rather than a habit or behaviour in the future.

Intentions can be applied to any area of your life that is significant to you, including your relationships, profession, finances, health, and well-being.

10 Questions for setting intentions

At the end of this year, how do you hope to feel, change, or grow in each of these areas?

1. What do I focus on the most this year?

2. How is my physical health?

3. How are my relationships with others?

4. How is my financial situation?

5. What would this year’s biggest challenge be? Why do I believe that?

6. Do I need to use caution in any particular situation to prevent regret?

7. What would be the most meaningful moment this year? Why is it?

8. What would be the most important accomplishment/growth this year?

9. Who is my role model or mentor this year?

10. What are my contributions to others/community/people?

An understanding of the change process can be gained from a trauma healing perspective, namely one that emphasizes Somatic Experiencing and Integtal Breath Therapy.

The first step in the journey is to establish an intention. Recognizing that trauma can upset the body's homeostasis, the first step is to accept that a shift is necessary and learn to listen to your body's signals.

Acting with Somatic Awareness
Being mindful of one's body's feelings and experiences is the action here. The focus of this step is to observe and respond to the body's cues in a nonjudgmental manner

Gradual Exposure and Balance
The practice involves learning to gradually expose oneself to traumatic memories or sensations in small, manageable doses, and balancing this exposure with periods of comfort and safety. This helps prevent becoming overwhelmed and aids the body's natural recovery process.

Building Resilience
Consistently applying these practices strengthens the body’s ability to self-regulate. Since trauma is often a physiological condition, healing involves retraining the body's response to stress. Consistency helps in building resilience and a greater capacity to cope with stressors.

Integrating New Responses
Over time, these new ways of responding to bodily sensations and emotions become habitual. The aim is to enable the body to automatically regulate itself in response to potential triggers, thereby reducing the impact of trauma. It's about changing the body’s response to memories or emotions, rather than eliminating them.

Transformation and Empowerment
As this new way of being integrates into one's identity, individuals often experience a transformation. This phase is characterized by a newfound sense of strength and empowerment. Many report increased compassion, deeper relationships, and a greater appreciation for life as part of their post-traumatic growth.

Throughout this journey, patience is key. Allowing time, space for the healing to emerge without the need to be rushed. Healing from trauma is about rediscovering the body's capacity for self-regulation and balance, living in the present moment, and engaging with life from a place of empowerment and resilience.

A common theme with my clients is sleep deprivation. Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep and waking up tired. Adding Gentle Yoga poses to your bedtime routine is one of many natural remedies.
