I have been teaching spirituality and conscious living in both one-on-one and group settings for over a decade. Yet through all my experience working with literally thousands of clients, and my training in hypnosis, Reiki, guided imagery and many other modalities, the one tool I keep coming back to is the breath. It is the key that unlocks multiple levels of transformation. And it is a gift that keeps on giving.
When I first embarked upon my own journey of healing and self improvement, I had a real issue with ADD and nervous energy. It was extremely difficult for me to stay focused on a conversation for more than a couple of minutes before my mind “wandered off.” I was living in my head, and was consumed with how the outside world perceived me. At that time, I was a high fashion model, living between Paris and New York, on a never-ending quest for “the next thing” — the next party, the next guy, the next big booking or fabulous outfit to fulfill me.
Ultimately, the illusion came crashing down, and I realized that looking outward for happiness was an exercise in futility. I surrendered to my inner-calling, and began training as a healer. One of my first lessons was the power of the breath. My energy –teacher would constantly remind me, ‘Britta, your breath, where is your breath? Are you breathing? You are holding your breath! ” At first, I didn’t take it seriously. I thought, “What’s the big deal? I breathe all the time!”
Then, one day I became intensely triggered. Uncontrolled thoughts went racing through my head. I was gripped by fear, overwhelmed by what was the most dramatic identity shift of my life. All my money from modeling had been lost by somebody I trusted. I had moved from NYC on L.A., enrolled in hypnosis school, was training to become an Imagery Master and studying spiritual psychology whilst unable to pay my rent. I was lonely, exhausted and fearful to move forward, when in fact it was the only way to go.
In the midst of this awful panic attack I finally remembered, “breathe Britta, breathe!” And I did. I focused on my breath and allowed it to become my safe heaven. By reaching as deeply into my belly as possible, I removed myself from the noise, the chatter, the nausea, the illusion. I came into my center and was able to observe myself as I was facing this fantastic choice; the choice between drama and freedom.
Since then, I have come to realize that the more we practice the conscious breath, the better life becomes. When we operate from a calm center, we can create space, bend time, and show up as we choose; as witty, funny, relaxed, peaceful and — most important — in control our lives, our minds, our choices, perceptions and experiences.
The breath is the ultimate gateway tool. The more we practice, the more we take charge of our lives and accelerate the journey into freedom from illusion; free to play fearlessly. And in time, the breath also clears the path to clear communication with our higher self-guidance, wisdom and truth.
Are you breathing now? J
