Invite the Light

This may sound radical, but one Breath session could change your life! How do I know? Because it happened to me. If you are curious, read on…

I discovered Breathwork during the dark, darkest, DARK NIGHT OF MY SOUL. IT WAS IN MADISON WISCONSIN ON JULY 8, 2013.

I had no idea what I was getting into when I entered that workshop, but. I also knew before I peeled myself up off that floor that I had just discovered my life's path. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was going to learn how to teach this practice and make it my Soul's mission to share with others.

I don't talk often about the trauma I was going through at the time in my life while facing the betrayal in my 23 year marriage. What's most important to share now, is how Breathwork allowed me to gracefully leave that marriage with compassion and forgiveness.

I now know that this very human life experience was something I was not alone in.

And after 11 years of committed, Breathwork practice, I see how humans are linked, bound, united, in our very raw human emotions and experiences, but also by our joyous, triumphant experiences.

(In general) All humans understand heartbreak and do their best to avoid it. All humans also understand joy, and try to seek it.

I've come to the conclusion that it is time for all of us to talk more about our common personal experiences.

We have the choice to unify the world with our ability to have universal compassion for the human experience.

We all experience, grief, loss, guilt, shame. No age group, class, culture, orientation or political view is above human emotion. It is our singular binder. That's why art, music, theater, and all forms of dance and expression have stood the test of time.

Let's relearn how to surpass messaging and language by allowing what we FEEL to be the intrinsic source for what we all understand.

I'm making it a point to start talking more openly about my life experiences with the idea of bridging the gaps between what appears to make us all different from each other.

I truly believe that the more we all do this, the more we fortify our collective consciousness with compassion and unity allowing us pardon for our differences.

I invite anyone who truly wants to be a change agent on this planet to join me! It can start with a simple choice to Breathe...

For All and With All, In Love....

This... ♾️💜♾️

Your heart holds a wisdom that has been with you since the day you were born. It does not need to be created, earned, or discovered somewhere outside of yourself. The connection is already there, waiting for you to listen.

When life feels uncertain, one of the most powerful things we can do is pause and reconnect with the intelligence of the heart. A few slow breaths, a moment of gratitude, and the willingness to listen can shift us from fear and confusion into clarity and resilience.

Here is a simple practice I return to often:

💛 Focus your awareness on your heart
💛 Slow and deepen your breathing
💛 Feel genuine gratitude, compassion, or appreciation
💛 Ask your heart a simple, clear question
💛 Listen to the feelings, sensations, and inner knowing that arise

Your heart may speak through words, feelings, peace, warmth, or simply a deep sense of knowing. Everyone experiences it differently. The key is learning the unique language of your own body and intuition.

Your heart’s intelligence is always with you. The question is not whether the wisdom exists. The question is whether we are willing to listen.
