Hello Linkedin Fam,
I hope this message finds you well and thriving.
Before I delve into today’s topic, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you.
Since the launch of our newsletter, we’ve been overwhelmed by the incredible response, with over 500 new subscribers joining our community in just two weeks.
Your engagement, comments and personal stories fuel our passion for supporting others on their healing journey.
Today, I want to share a personal favourite topic: the transformative power of breathwork versus traditional talk therapy.
While talk therapy undoubtedly has its benefits, my own experience has led me to explore alternative avenues for healing.
Why?
For years, I was trapped in a talk therapy cycle of endless analysis, dissecting the traumas and patterns that shaped my life. Yet despite the insights gained, I remained stuck, unable to break free from the grip of my past truly.
I knew why my father was abusive; I understood why my mother emotionally neglected me.
I knew why I was born into a cult and, at 16, left to forge my own path and had a son at 19.
I knew why I ran myself to the ground in sales, trying to prove my worth.
(yes, this is my real story)
It wasn’t until I discovered breathwork that everything changed.
Through conscious breathing, I tapped into a profound source of healing that had eluded me for years.
And guess what happened?
Everything changed.
Because nothing changes until we change our breath.
I remember my first breathwork experience was led by the amazing founder of my somatic breathwork certification, Samatha Skelly.
She said…
“You’ve got to feel it, to heal it.”
And at first, I didn’t truly *understand* what that meant.
WHY?
Because I was still in my head.
It wasn’t until about halfway through the journey, breath by breath, that I journeyed from my head to my heart, unlocking buried emotions and experiencing cathartic releases that defied rational explanation.
From sadness to anger to joy and appreciation, I felt it all.
For the first time, instead of needing to know why, I was simply at peace, my mind cleared.
I realized that breathwork offered a direct path to healing by bypassing the mind’s confines and accessing the body’s wisdom.
It allowed me to understand my pain, fully embody it, and release it, paving the way for profound transformation.
Through the evolution of science, we now know that 80% of our experiences are somatic.
True healing lies in reconnecting with our bodies and honouring their wisdom for full-circle healing.
A published study by The Heart Math Institute proves that our hearts are intelligent and send four times more information to our brains than our brains to our hearts.
Our hearts and emotions have been connected to our #HigherEnergy for centuries.
So, if we do not process, release, and regulate our emotions and welcome that healing, we are blocking our ability to move beyond our past and into our present.
Jen Trihn, Associate Scientist at Alexion Pharmaceuticals, after one Neo-Emotional Release Session, which combines psycho-somatic therapy and breathwork, said, “I want to thank Kindra for how much she has helped me in such a short time. Kindra helped me heal and understand things about myself in just a few hours rather than years of therapy done with NEO. I am incredibly thankful for this experience.”
Breathwork offers a powerful tool for doing just that, inviting us to embrace the full spectrum of our emotions and reclaim our innate capacity for healing and growth.
As I continue on my own journey of self-discovery, I am grateful for my mother and father, who served as teachers and led me to this opportunity to share this powerful practice with others.
Whether seeking relief from stress and anxiety or yearning for deeper self-understanding, know that breathwork is key to unlocking your Whole-YOU potential.
This past year, I’ve trained hundreds of people, whether through group training or 1:1, on how to release stress and anxiety, achieve balance, and maximize energy through breathwork.
And whether you are looking to breathwork for healing, growth, or transformation, remember, it is the medicine, drug, or therapist you’ve been looking for.
Right under your nose.
So take a deep breath, dear friends, and know that healing is within reach.
If I can do it, you can.
I will host a live, free breathwork event on April 10th at 1 p.m. for those who want to learn more about Breathwork and Higher Energy.
The intention of this session is to “Breathe with Purpose.”
So many of us are starting to realize how important it is to live a life of purpose, and the way we do that is by reconnecting with our #HigherEnergy
