Breathwork, Meditation & Soundbath

Every day you take roughly 20,000 breaths. How often do you notice how you breathe? Or the fact that your emotions actually change the way you breathe?

The opposite is also true: research shows that breathing practices can influence the emotions we experience – and also reduce anxiety, depression, stress, and blood pressure.

In this breath and meditation workshop, we will discuss the relationship between the nervous system and the breath, the anatomy of the muscles of respiration, as well as learning proper breathing techniques to help the body work towards optimal breathing patterns, posture, and a calm and healthy mind body connection.

Using an anchor, especially a sound-based one, such as sound bowls and other rhythmic instruments, can be beneficial to your practice and will be utilized in this session.

River Peace: A video series

In the wellness business, many of us practitioners use the analogy of flowing water as a means of understanding mental and physical health. In addition, violent water can also be a way of comprehending the difficulties and stress that we face in life.

When I lived in Mesa, AZ I created a video of a stream that flowed in a place not usually associated with flowing water. It was at a park in Gilbert, AZ that had a riparian area which is essentially an oasis in the desert.
