This is my signature breath work called Press Pause, designed to help alleviate anxiety from a spiritual and mindful perspective. Anxiety can be beneficial in guiding us through challenging emotional situations. However, we often experience a false sense of anxiety that is disproportionate to the situation at hand. This false anxiety activates the sympathetic nervous system, mimicking a stress response. It's crucial to seek professional help for genuine anxiety. Before starting any breathwork pr...

To grieve is actually an honour because it means that you must have had something that you loved, that mattered to you greatly and deeply. However, when we don't process that grief, when we let it fester, or when we let it become a festering, the honouring of the love becomes a lower vibration, and that lower vibration is a drain on your resources, on your energy. Here are five steps, made up of journal prompts and thought starters, aimed at guiding you through the journey of grieving. Each prom...
