Keeping Commitments to Ourselves

With the amount of self-help information available on social media, in books, and on podcasts, many of the proclaimed answers to challenges we face in everyday life can seem like quick fixes. Practice mindfulness! Eat more nutritious foods, and drink plenty of water! Dedicate 30 minutes of activity to your daily routine! Work on your meditation! Love yourself! – to name a few. While these might seem like simple solutions, it’s not always easy to keep commitments made to ourselves. It can be incredibly frustrating when staying committed to the needs of others who rely on us isn’t too hard – so why is it difficult to honor a promise to ourselves?

Why do we break self-promises?

How come it can feel effortless and even be exciting to set a new goal or resolution, only to become overwhelming in a week or two? Why do we prioritize other things after we’ve told ourselves we’re working towards something?

It’s not surprising that so many of us struggle with the idea of keeping commitments to ourselves. All too often, we’re taught that it’s selfish or greedy to put our needs first. This, of course, varies by culture and familial structures. But, the general idea of egotism (even misplaced) is looked down upon. Unfortunately, this line of thinking doesn’t align with the truth that taking care of yourself is the only sustainable way of taking care of others.

Secondly, we might value promises to ourselves less than those we make to others because of limiting beliefs. Negative inner thoughts, opinions, or convictions that we hold to be absolute truths. The catch is that these beliefs always restrict us somehow. If we believe we aren’t worthy or good enough to achieve our goals, we’ll always find an excuse to refuse growth.

How can we shift our mindsets?

Recognizing self-sabotaging belief structures is the first step towards changing a limiting belief. However, it’s also important to stop prioritizing doubts and start focusing on our needs and ambitions. Part of that means valuing the goal itself and celebrating achievements (no matter how inconsequential they seem!).

Beginner’s guide to becoming okay with prioritizing self-commitments:

  1. You can have a lofty goal, but make sure you smaller, more manageable ones, too
  2. Pause. Every time you’re faced with something that you don’t want to do (but know will help you in the long run), pause for a moment. Ask yourself what you need to get in a better mindset.
  3. Consistency is key. Significant commitments will take some serious self-discipline! Like training a muscle, it takes time to get good at being consistent. So, begin with a task on the easier end of things like waking up at the same time each morning or meditating for five minutes each day.

The Awakening Power of Breath

The Past Without

For more than half of my life I was trapped in fight or flight, subconsciously crying out to be released from a suppressive state. This was my conditioned norm, my every day. Not only that, but it was also, unfortunately, the mode that my body felt safe in.

Because, when you grow up in a stressful or toxic home environment, your nervous system is used to operating in a state of high stress and shallow breath. In childhood, adolescence, and my early adult life, this manifestation in me led to an addiction of stress hormones. I would unconsciously seek out situations, people and work environments that would keep me enmeshed with a high adrenaline state. I found corporate positions that were demanding and in male-dominated atmospheres. All of this was completely out of alignment with my soul’s purpose. But, I had to learn the hard way. The impact of my mental and emotional stress slowly became too much of a burden for my hypersensitive nervous system.

I was unknowingly compounding this stress in my body until it finally became too much to hold. My physical body forced me to slow down since I refused to pause. Rare symptoms and imbalances causing chronic pain and distress soon developed. After all of the confusion and stress locked me in to existing in constant anxiety, my overwhelmed mind sent me into a downward spiral. I felt lost and completely alone.

The Present Breath

Prayer, going within and searching for tools to assist in the release I needed at the time to heal, finally clicked. One post on Instagram led me to a Breathwork Healing Ceremony in Brooklyn. Breathwork Ceremonies were not operating in my city, so I took a leap of faith and left for a weekend trip. The three Healing Sessions that weekend completely changed the course of my life. Finally, I knew my emotional body had awakened in an entirely new experience.

Since then, I’ve healed and let go over hundreds of heavy layers that were long being held in my body. I gave myself permission to let go and cried more tears than I had ever released before. Now, I know that Breathwork offers us the opportunity to shed all of the subconscious, heavy energy we carry.

The Future of Breathwork

Following my intuitive knowing with Breathwork as a new modality of healing is something I will forever be grateful of. It’s been five years of being guided and offering guidance in Breathwork Ceremonies. Today, I still have profound amazement at how the body, spirit, and mind unfold with the breath. This ability to fully feel allow me to tune back into my authenticity. With the breath, I embrace my power and encourage forgiveness, surrender, and trust to flow back into my heart once again.

Breathwork Healing vs. Mindful Breath

Have you experienced a release of trapped emotions from Breathwork? Most new breathers have practiced mindfulness, pranayama, or breathing exercises in meditation but have never unlocked the true potential their breath holds. However, it’s important to acknowledge the role mindful breathing has in Breathwork, and how they are different.

What is Breathwork Healing?

In a Breathwork Healing Journey, a guide encourages you through a conscious, circular breathing pattern in a ceremonial setting for 40-60 minutes. It’s here that you enter into a deepened transcendental state of consciousness.

Breathers will often describe their breathwork journey as a similar experience to a psychedelic trip because, within 10-15 minutes of breathing in this way, memories, images, emotions, and experiences begin to cascade through. All of which allows you to feel the depths of your being. The breath invites us to meet those spaces within the body that have felt closed off or suppressed. This modality of healing has been used for decades to overcome depression, anxiety, PTSD, disconnection, overwhelm, self-sabotage, etc. and experience more profound healing of the past.

My first ever breathwork ceremony completely blew me away. At that time, I was trying every alternative modality under the sun to heal my physical body from Lyme disease. In that introductory session, I felt more shifts than I had in a year of EDMR, Energy Healing, Hypnosis, EFT, Tapping, etc.

Every session is a unique journey, never the same as the one before. Because I lead so many new breathers through journeys, I’m always humbled by their testimonies of what they experienced. I also have three testimonial highlights with insights on how others are describing their own journeys.

What is mindful breathing?

Mindfulness breath is a more general way to establish a breathwork routine and deepen a calming response within your body. It can be done at any point in your day, even for just a moment or two. Coupling the mind with the breath can be a powerful tool to rooting yourself in the present.

You can begin exploring mindful breathing by simply noticing the breath. Pay attention to how it fills your lungs and chest; then focus on the sensations of the exhale. Many guided meditations in books, videos, and podcasts (like my own) can gently establish your understanding of mindfulness breath. Like Breathwork healing, this too can give you a greater sense of awareness, control, and peace in your life.

Final thoughts

It’s nearly impossible to articulate what comes through in a breathwork healing ceremony. This is often a reverent spiritual experience, one that leaves you feeling completely in awe.

I cannot wait to begin guiding groups in person here in Grand Rapids when I return from maternity leave. Still, in the meantime, I have three Virtual Breathwork Healing Ceremonies where you can experience this work from the comfort of your own home.

Signs of an Empowered Inner-Child

Learning to empower your inner-child means connecting to the self as an adolescent, specifically through an emotional lens. By connecting to our enthusiasm, curiosity, and creativity, all attributes we experienced naturally as children, we have a unique opportunity for healing. 

Why should I care about a wounded inner-child? 

It took me years to realize that the root cause of many of my self-sabotaging patterns stemmed from a wounded inner-child. From ages 0-14, we exist in an egocentric state and absorb our environment into our subconscious mind. We operate our day-to-day thoughts, attitudes, reactions, and beliefs from our subconscious state 95% of the time.

Unfortunately, this is why we can feel that we are “stuck” in specific habitual loops. No matter how bad on a conscious level we want to grow past this, it can seem impossible. As adults, we all walk around carrying wounds from our childhood. Whether it’s simple or complex trauma, emotional neglect, or abuse, our subconscious minds are hardwired to retain those incidents as a survival mechanism. 

Signs you may need this type of healing work:

  • A strong sense of distrust in everyone, including yourself
  • Feeling highly reactive a majority of the time
  • Valuing independence to the point of isolation and disconnect
  • Symptoms of poor mental and emotional health
  • You often feel “not good enough” 
  • You find difficulty maintaining healthy relationships

What can you do about it?

We use conscious, circular Breathwork healing to bypass the conscious mind and access the subconscious or limbic brain. This area of the mind is where we store negative imprinting messages from our childhood. Consuming harmful information is as easy as watching our parents or caretakers at a bad moment.

During my first ever Breathwork journey, Spirit showed me memories from my two years old self. In the remembrance, I felt scared and powerless while my parents were fighting. Shockingly, I had no idea that I was still holding onto these wounds within my subconscious mind. After breathing this way for years now, I have returned to several memories and re-parented that inner-child. Giving them exactly what they needed at that moment to feel safe, supported, and loved.

Some signs of an empowered inner-child include:

  • Making room for fun
  • Embracing radical self-love
  • Strong, healthy boundaries
  • Daily self-care
  • Feeling seen and heard in your relationships and communities
  • Non-judgmental thoughts towards the self and others

In conclusion, I encourage you to explore Breathwork and mindfulness as a method of restoring your link to your inner-child. Nurturing your creativity, committing to self-care practices, and regarding your younger self with love can be revolutionary in your spiritual evolution.

How to Increase Your Self-Worth

Nourishing self-worth and understanding where opportunities to increase your sense of self-value in your life are integral to mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Self-care has become highly popularized in the past decade, but what does that really mean? Why is taking care of ourselves and raising our self-worth important?

It’s your right to reclaim your worthiness for a life full of abundance, purpose, and daily happiness. Cultivating higher levels of self-worth allows you to accept yourself wholeheartedly, live with integrity, and move through challenging situations with grace.

Tangible steps for self-worth:

Below are a few practices that I implemented to overcome my own limitations and own my true worth over the years.

  1. Reparent your inner child. We hold imprints in our limbic brain from ages 0-7 that determine our everyday attitudes, beliefs, self-talk, and thoughts. In order to begin healing any aspect of self that doesn’t feel good enough, this reparenting process is a foundational step to increasing your worthiness.
  2. Practice daily self-love and acceptance. We have to show ourselves the same loving kindness that we express to others. Often our “inner critique or inner perfectionist” can send us into a downward spiral of self-loathing. These voices inside will tell us lies about our capabilities and who we are in the world. If we feed into this, we stay victim to our fears. By simply changing our inner dialogue and practicing self-love, we allow our internal state to blossom.
  3. Embrace patience and grace. We have likely been thinking and acting a certain way for years to decades. This unraveling process can take months to even a few years before a complete transformation. Instead of judging your situation or comparing yourself to another that is further in their journey, we must practice patience and surrender to the timing of our own processes. If you’re “triggered” or envious of someone that seems to be thriving in life, dig underneath that emotion. Truly tune into where this insecurity is stemming from in yourself. The other is simply an external mirror of an internal state. Recognizing the messages for deeper growth on our paths can only happen when we give ourselves compassionate space to reflect.

Moving forward:

There are so many other ways in which we can begin increasing our worthiness and deservedness. These are just a few that I have found to be the most impactful for my own journey. Breathwork is a resource that allows me to take each of these practices to the next level of heart-healing. I encourage you to incorporate any of these steps into your daily life and see what lessons you can learn.

Breathwork and Energetic Blockages

It comes as no surprise that each and every person on this earth will face certain challenging experiences. Negative emotions, limiting thoughts, and spiritual trials are a part of life. Energetic blockages occur when those hardships prevent energy from flowing freely. Over time, these clogs potentially cause emotional, mental, and spiritual issues.

While a blockage doesn’t necessarily block the flow of energy entirely, it’s subtly is just as impactful in the long-run on your body. The many forms of breathwork can be invaluable in helping to clear these blocked emotions and energy, allowing you to embrace the fullness of your life.

How can I recognize energetic blockages?

Energetic blocks can be difficult to recognize at times because we aren’t always aware of the circumstances that cause them to occur. A wounded inner child or traumatic event can be repressed and forgotten, but their effects can persist. Learning how to realize the signs and get to the root cause can mean a world of difference in your everyday life.

Common manifestations of energetic blockages are:

  • Fear
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Sense of disconnection from self and others
  • Sluggishness
  • Stagnation
  • Anger
  • Sadness
  • Physical pain and tension
  • Overwhelm
  • Disconnection from dream state/interrupted sleep

So, how do we release them?

In order to live life to our fullest potential and in alignment with our Spirit, releasing energetic blockages is nonnegotiable. Just as you can’t build a new home on a broken foundation, we can’t expect to grow without healing.

The main modalities that I have personally used to release this heaviness from my body are:

  • Intention/Meditation
  • Prayer
  • Breathwork
  • Energy work
  • Plant Medicine
Committing to several breathwork sessions with an energetic healer gives your body, mind, and spirit the time to make a breakthrough.  Furthermore, understanding the intertwining of these three parts of your self will help unfurl the blockages in each area.

Final thoughts:

Just as our muscles get tight and constricted from simple daily activities, leaving us to seek relief with massages or chiropractic work, our emotional/energetic body operates in the same way. Staying consistent and attentive in your healing journey is key to seeing results. This is why prioritizing your breathwork practice at least once a month, whether that’s in-person with a guide or online in a virtual class, is imperative.
The reward for your work within is reconnection and finally embracing true alignment – the ultimate state of happiness, flow and abundance.

How to Cultivate Abundance

Our mindsets can radically, undoubtedly determine whether we view our lives in terms of abundance or emptiness. Our internal state reflects our outer world. If you truly want to call in abundance and co-create your life, you must begin by looking inwards.

Over the past decade, I have continuously worked to up-level all aspects of my life. In my twenties, the abundance I sought was in the material world. Though I was able to call it in, I soon realized that money did not equal happiness. Then, through my own 15+ years of health struggles, I learned that without your health, we have nothing. So I decided to heal myself and uncover the vitality buried under years of pain.

Where does this terminology come from?

Author Stephen Covey coined the phrase “abundance vs. scarcity mindset” in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. However, the traits of cultivating an abundant mindset are ancient and rooted in spiritual wellness. For example, thinking and believing that there are more opportunities than limitations, gratitude is stronger than envious comparison and embracing rather than fearing change are all aspects of abundance.

Scarcity mindsets tend to include statements such as, “They always get what they want. I can’t have what they have. I don’t have enough ___.” It forces people to compete for resources, wealth, relationships, even love. It also pushes opportunities away. If you feel trapped in a fixed mindset, you’re more likely to stay stuck in the motions, unable to change, improve, or grow. Unlike an abundant growth mentality, scarcity thrives off of limited existence.

How can I create an abundance mindset?

  • Practice daily gratitude
  • Cultivate confidence in yourself and your purpose
  • Be intentional with your words and energy
  • Reduce your social media consumption (reduce comparisons)
  • Recognize your strengths and values

Dedicating yourself to thinking and living abundantly can lead you to genuine fulfillment, control over your emotional states, intensified creativity, and attracting positive affirmations with ease. In addition, cultivating abundance in your life is to believe in potential and in a more profound connection.

True healing and stepping into empowerment allow you to co-create abundance not only in your finances or career but in your relationships, health, joy, and freedom. You are uncovering your true power and purpose to its fullest. Practicing daily gratitude and presence taps you into this way of being. Though we will always experience obstacles and hardships as humans, we also can experience daily abundance in all aspects if we simply tune in.

Transforming an Impatient Mind in Your Healing Journey

It’s easy to feel defeated or impatient in our healing journey, be hard on ourselves, and compare to others’ highlight reels on social media. Most of us live in fast-paced, endless to-do lists. We find ways to cut corners, seek efficiency, and skip to the end of novels. Waiting in line for more than two minutes can seem like an eternity.

Impatience may not be intrinsically bad but can quickly become a block in our healing and self-growth journeys if we refuse to recognize its lessons.

What is the cost of being impatient?

Good things take time. How often have you heard that saying when expressing frustration because something you want isn’t happening on the timetable you’d prefer? Everyone loves when change happens quickly. Why wouldn’t we? Streamlined paths from start to finish seem like the best option from the outside. Unfortunately, obsession over speed and fast living usually equal a loss in intentionality and contemplation in the process.

But humans aren’t machines. Beautiful bodies and souls can transform given the time. We can’t fake real progress or speed up how long it takes to learn a lesson. We certainly can’t take a shortcut for inner work and healing. Various studies have even found there to be serious costs to human capital, mental health, and the effects of stress on the body, let alone the impact of impatience on spiritual growth.

How can we learn to embrace patience?

Learning to slow down and cultivate a more patient existence can be challenging. Transforming our inner dialogues takes grace and self-love. Here are just a few ways you can deal with an impatient mind.

 

  1. Focus on mindfulness and meditation. There are many ways to practice mindfulness and meditation, from listening to podcasts to seeking a guide for conscious breathwork. The more aware you are of the present moment, the less reactive you become to the inevitable moments of unexpected change you’ll face day-to-day.
  2. Celebrate the small wins (no matter how small). You have to start somewhere! Even if you begin just by practicing positive self-talk in the mirror or acknowledging one thing you’re grateful for in a day, pat yourself on the back. These types of positive recognitions can go a long way to remind yourself that what you’re feeling is temporary. The emotions that can stem from impatience – anxiety, stress, anger, etc. – will come and go.
  3. Reframe the story you’re telling yourself. Say someone just aggressively cut in front of you driving down the road. Audibly sighing, you’re irritated and annoyed that someone could be so rude and reckless. Pause. How could this situation be different? How can you give grace to this stranger? They may be having a horrible day. They might be on their way to the hospital to see a loved one. By focusing on why and how patience is important to you and ties into your values, the easier it’ll be to build up the skills to combat being impatient.

 

Last thoughts:

Looking back a decade, five years, even one year ago, I’m truly amazed at how far I’ve come in my spiritual journey. Staying patient and giving ourselves appreciation and encouragement for how far we’ve come is vital to success.

I’m in admiration of the person that I have transformed into as I continue to evolve into my soul’s purpose. The more we show ourselves this form of kindness, the more supported we feel through the process of inner growth and healing.

Harnessing the Energy of Full Moons

There are countless ways to incorporate the energy of a Full Moon into your healing journey. Full Moons are meant to be times of rejuvenation, release, and reflection – necessary steps along the path of change and growth. 

Why are Full Moons important?

Humans have paid attention to lunar cycles for millennia all over the globe. Different cultures have varying rituals and symbolism for the moon’s phases. However, there is a modern sacredness about connecting with lunar energy. It’s a way to live more in sync with the environment and with yourself.

 

Once every month, the sun completely illuminates the moon’s surface, reflecting maximum light and vitality from the sun’s rays. All Full Moons represent a time of release. This is your chance to let go of heavy emotional weights and buried energetic stagnation. We must embrace all the dark aspects of ourselves if we want to come back into wholeness.

 

Try not to start something new during the full moon, such as a new project or embark, overwork or overstress yourself, or make any life-altering decisions. Full moons are powerful energetic culminations and upheavals, which can prompt rash decision-making. Instead, use this time to rest, reflect and release that which no longer serves you.

 

How can I harness the Full Moon’s energy beneficially?

Here are four ways I recommend preparing for and engaging with a Full Moon cycle:

  1. Set intentions through journaling.
  2. Practice a Full Moon guided meditation: Meditations during a full moon can be a powerful tool to connect with lunar energy. Try meditating before any ritual or task to align your mind and Spirit with your intentions.
  3. Join a healer for a conscious Breathwork journey to start releasing.
  4. Rest and eat nourishing foods for your body.

Often, we think that shadows should stay hidden because they cannot and should not exist in our conscious selves. Society tells us to focus on love and light, but never our darkness. Unfortunately, focusing solely on your positive side is easy and comfortable, but it keeps you stuck in your healing journey. Incorporating the grounding energy of a full moon into your spiritual practices can be an effective way of embracing your whole self. 

 

“As the Moon falls into the darkness, it symbolizes all of our own dark emotions rising to the surface. All of the shadows that have lurked behind the scenes suddenly come into our awareness.

 

It is in the darkness that we can transform; it is in the darkness that we can connect with our own Spirit, and it is in the darkness that we can dream of a brighter and better world for all.” @foreverconscious

Lessons in Complete Surrender

The art of surrender and letting go is a reasonably counter-culture practice in today’s world. While I’ve been cultivating this lifestyle and mindset of relinquishing control for some time, my current pregnancy is a lesson in complete surrender.

I’m officially into the second trimester, and these first few months have physically been so much more demanding than I could have ever imagined. Although, with the challenges comes an initiation as I evolve into this new role. The Universe has a unique way of reminding us that no matter how structured, planned, and perfect we try to sculpt our personal worlds, nearly everything is out of our control. For example, I thought healing from Lyme was painful, but the everyday fatigue, nausea, and headaches I’m feeling now take the cake.

I’ve wholly released the tight schedule and routine that I used to be committed to daily. Morning spin class, meditation practice, and journaling have pretty much gone out the window. Not to mention my podcast has been on a hiatus and several other exciting plans put on the back burner, too. Instead of feeling anxious or stressed about the current circumstances, I recognize the opportunity to practice surrender.

Ways you can let go and release control:

  1. Release what you can’t control: as hard as we may try, we cannot healthily micro-manage every aspect of our lives. 
  2. Embrace whatever emotions and worries have risen: it’s okay to hold space for your feelings and frustrations. But, after acknowledging them, let them go. 
  3. Increase self-awareness: check out my podcast Letting Go + Surrender for tools on how to begin the process, creating space for miracles to unfold in your own life. 
  4. Pause for a moment of gratitude: suffering, pain, and hardship is a universal experience. Sometimes it’s easier to focus on what’s going wrong than the blessings and grace that’s present, as well. 
  5. Find comfort in knowing the Universe and Spirit are both in you and for you.

The phrase “letting go and surrender” can seem abstract, but in practice, trusting the Universe isn’t just about having faith. Sometimes, we have to be practical and face our limiting beliefs and fears with courage. It isn’t until we can accept that what holds us back doesn’t serve us that moving forward becomes a reality. 

So, how is complete surrender working for me?

This slow season is a new type of growth and prioritizes honoring my body in unprecedented ways. Breathwork teaches us that it’s safe to release control of your life, to follow your intuition, and to give yourself grace when it feels like your world is upside down. Because of this, I’ve never felt more aligned with everything unfolding. It’s incredibly freeing to let go and trust that we’re being divinely guided every step of the way.
