24.01.2022 As scientific understanding has grown, so our world has become dehumanized. Man feels himself isolated in the cosmos, because he is no longer involved in natur...e and has lost his emotional unconscious identity with natural phenomena. These have slowly lost their symbolic implications. Thunder is no longer the voice of an angry god, nor is lightning his avenging missile. No river contains a spirit, no tree is the life principle of a man, no snake the embodiment of wisdom, no mountain cave the home of a great demon. No voices now speak to man from stones, plants, and animals, nor does he speak to them believing they can hear. His contact with nature has gone, and with it has gone the profound emotional energy that this symbolic connection supplied. C.G. Jung, Man and His Symbols Art: Edward Hopper

22.01.2022 Remember, its good to let out a good scream...for 10 hours...

21.01.2022 Wrap up 2020 in the best way possible - with breathwork! This will be the last group breathwork session for 2020. This session will be held at Fyshwick's new Dairy Road Precinct at its purpose-built Flow Yoga Canberra studio. See you there

20.01.2022 "You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra;... By alchemy you may learn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk on water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult. -Yogananda. Picture: Ek Jodo

19.01.2022 Getting my study on for Module 1 of the Soul Seeker Program. In the first month we work with the properties of the element of Earth (and as a tool to ground ourselves). We’ll explore our relationship with the physical world, whether it is our body, physical health, home or wealth. This first group breathwork session will start with some bioenergetics - exercises that help activate energy bound within the body based on the work of Alexander Lowen. We’ll then transition into a... group breathwork session. Exciting times ahead for participants of the Soul Seeker Program. Early bird registration available now until 28 January 2021. Session held in Canberra and surrounding national parks. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to transform.

19.01.2022 "The scientific evidence would seem to agree. Participants with hypertension showed short-term reductions in blood pressure after guided slow-breathing exercises, effects that seem to go above and beyond the benefits of mindfulness without active breath control. A recent review of the relevant scientific literature found that slow, deep breathing can help alleviate the symptoms of depression and anxiety, and it also appears to help relieve insomnia. A study by Hassan Jafari a...t Kings College London, meanwhile, has shown that deep breathing can improve peoples management of pain. Given these benefits, some scientists have suggested that breathing techniques could even help patients cope with chronic conditions like arthritis. (If you suffer from any medical conditions you should contact a medical professional before trying any new therapy.)" See more

19.01.2022 Breathwork is one of the biggest growing health trends of 2020. This year also led to these practices becoming more accessible to everyone.

19.01.2022 Check out this recording by the Esalen Institute from August 5, 1985. Its Stanislav Grof, the founder of Holotropic Breathwork and contemporary psychedelic therapy, talking about transpersonal psychology, non-ordinary states of consciousness and Quantum physics. Happy listening.

19.01.2022 Accessing more archival recordings from the Esalen Institute - this time its Rum Dass 1987 lecture about compassion and affirmative action in the world. He speaks about his work in India and Nepal. International aid being guided by meditation and love.

18.01.2022 It starts with the connection with our body. Our body is the foundation, the root, that enables growth to transpire in other aspects of our being. A healthy and strong connection with our body supports good health, vitality, positive body image, safety and security, trust, stability and prosperity. We are assured that we have a right to be here and to have. In the first month of the Soul Seeker Program we will contemplate our relationship with our body - represented through t...he Sanskrit term, Muladhara - meaning Mula (root) and Adhara (support/basis). Through this contemplation we will come together for a group breathwork session and explore whatever arises. Places are filling for this seven-month program - don't miss out on your opportunity to join the Soul Seeker Program.

17.01.2022 A must watch preview for a must watch documentary. To be released in 2020. Dr Gabor Mate is one of the leading experts on trauma. His lifes work has helped us understand the effects of trauma on the individual (through addiction or cancer) and its effects on our society.

16.01.2022 I watched this panel discussion with John Cleese last year, while severely jet-lagged in a run-down AirBnB in Los Angeles. It was so interesting to learn about the research into near-death experiences. I was also interested by the mindfulness academic on the panel, who commenced research in this area after reports of spiritual/religious experiences by her mindfulness clients (one of my criticisms of mindfulness practices). If youve got a spare 90 minutes, then I recommend checking this video out. John Cleeses journey with after-death is fascinating.

16.01.2022 Thats a wrap for this months Breathing Club. Thanks to everyone who joined. Seeing peoples happy faces at the end of each session brings me much joy. I like to think of Breathing Club. as the planting of little seeds of breath awareness into the world. The more seeds we plant, the more awareness we create in this world.

15.01.2022 Another great article about breathwork in Insider. So amazing to see these stories like this being published in mainstream media. :)

14.01.2022 Change is coming! The Australian Financial Review reports on the use of psychedelic therapies in Australia. How many years until someone suffering from end of life anxiety or PTSD is able to go to a mental health professional to access these therapies? Exciting days ahead. https://mindmedicineaustralia.org//Investors-pile-in-on-ps

14.01.2022 How we breathe at work has real mental and physical implications for our health and productivity. Yet, our professional and personal engagement with modern technology adversely impacts how we breathe.

13.01.2022 In July, the Soul Seeker Program continues with individual participants embarking on their own breathwork session, whilst reflecting upon their experience of intuition, insight and imagination - all qualities of the 6th Chakra, Ajna. Only four places remain open for this program, with lots of interest, it's recommended that you get in early to reserve your space and make the most of the early bird rate.

13.01.2022 "This neglect of our human nature constitutes an even greater impediment to personal maturation than our modern loss of effective rites of passage, and it has led to the tragedy we face today: Most humans are alienated from their vital individuality their souls and humanity as a whole is largely alienated from the natural world that evolved us and sustains us. Soul has been demoted to a new-age spiritual fantasy or a missionarys booty, and nature has been treated, at best,... as a postcard or a vacation backdrop or, more commonly, as a hardware store or refuse heap. Too many of us lack intimacy with the natural world and with our souls, and consequently we are doing untold damage to both". Bill Plotkin.

13.01.2022 So happy to read this today! "Labels are something we internalize to define who we are and what we are capable of. All too often, labels limit us. And thats why reconsidering how we label anxiety, depression or ADHD is important. Does someone have depression, a medical disorder of their brain, or are they having a depressed adaptive response to adversity? Adversity is something we can overcome, whereas a mental disorder is something to be managed. The labels imply very different possibilities".

12.01.2022 "And behold The blue planet steeped in its dream Of reality, its calculated vision shaking with the only love". Take a deep breath and appreciate that single breath contains within it the breath of every living organism that has ever lived on our home, Mother Earth. Each breath contains within it the breath of every loved one, everyone that surrounds you, all plants, all animals, the last breath of those who have passed, and the first breath of those yet to come. ... Our breath is the great connector between all Beings. Breathe your breath of life with gratitude. With Love. - Picture by Bill Anders and poem by James Dickey : : ; : #justbreathe #earth #pachamama #breathwork #canberra #australia #breathhealing #meditation #yoga #breathe #transitionbreath

11.01.2022 Such an interesting read into the history and evolution of mental health support in the United States since the 1950s. Mental health has shifted from a residential "asylum" model (of its time and deeply flawed), to the existing capitalism model of an inadequately funded health care system supported by the pharmaceutical interventions. People today are given a bag full of pills and are expected to manage their mental health from home. Many fail, and end up in the streets, in prison or taking their life.

10.01.2022 How is everyones dreamscape right now? Dreamwork is an important part of my daily practice, and I have noticed during these more challenging times that dreams have become more vivid and my capacity to remember them has increased. My dreams have become more apocalyptic; deserted cities, wild peoples and places, planes falling out of the sky. What have your dreams been communicating to you?

09.01.2022 When was the last time you truly expressed your anger in a safe and supported way? The expression of anger is complex - sometimes it is masking another emotion (like sadness) or society denies the anger of some people (an issue of rank, power and privilege). Sometimes people are scared of their anger; they suppress and deny this energy. But anger has an incredibly powerful and transformative quality, at both a personal and collective level. Think of anger as a great fire mo...ving through your emotional body, burning away anything that is not in alignment and birthing a new you. Anger is an alchemist. In breathwork, we reassure people that the expression of all feelings and emotions is right, including anger. We support a persons expression of anger through their voice, movement and emotions. People may experience anger visually, or have memories of experiences that made them angry.

07.01.2022 Happy New Year Soul Seekers. New Year is a time for resolutions - to consciously make changes in our life, to invite new qualities into our being and dream into the future we want to live. The Soul Seeker Program will support you with making these changes.... In the second month of the Soul Seeker Program, we will breathe during the Autumn Equinox (Mabon). Mabon is the time of harvest. We focus on gratitude, the fruits of our labour, and purify whatever needs to be let go of as we move towards winter. This month we will also explore our relationship with the aspects of the second Chakra, Svadhisthana. Our relationship with pleasure, our sexuality and emotional body. Limited places remain for this special program. Contact Joshua at [email protected] for further information. Early bird rate finishes on 28 January - don't miss out.

06.01.2022 Whoop! Its official; I am now a qualified group breathwork facilitator. So much gratitude to my teacher, Mirabai Vines, for taking the time to teach the very difficult craft of group breathwork. I am so thankful for your knowledge, patience and mentorship. Thank you to Lisa, Swaha and Amber for embarking on this group breathwork journey together. For sharing our challenges and the ongoing support we provided each other throughout this time. It was vital to my development ...as a group facilitator, and Im so excited to see what unfolds for us all. A very special thank you to all of those who have participated in Transition Breaths group breathwork sessions over the past nine months. Group breathwork isnt possible without the brave and adventurous souls who show up each session ready to embark on this breath journey. So much love and gratitude. The more I learn about breathwork, the more I love it. It guides me, helps me amplify the good times, to move through and seek wisdom in the bad. Its such an honour to be gifted with such a powerful and sacred healing and meditation tool. It creates breath mastery, which, in turn, creates life mastery. What a joy it is to live. : : : #breathwork #canberra #australia #breathhealing #transitionbreath #justbreathe #groupbreathwork #meditation #yoga #pranayama

06.01.2022 326%! :) :) :) Breathwork is a major emerging trend, as evidenced by rising Google searches and touts by celebrities and media exponentially increasing its coverage on the subject. In May 2020, Google Trends reported that searches for "breathwork" and "breathing" have increased 326% since 2018. Renowned author James Nestor also published a book, "Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, which details how the manipulation and optimization of breath can change ones life drastically. Celebrities such as Oprah, Joe Rogan, Camila Cabello and Gwyneth Paltrow, moreover, have expressed their utilization of breathwork in their lives.

05.01.2022 #lifegoals about Eldership. From Stephen Jenkinsons book, Come of Age. "[Desire to live and acceptance of death] are kind of unlikely twins towards the end of your life. And if you make room for both of them and younger people are watching you do it, you become some kind of inadvertent example of what a whole human being looks like not a victorious human, a whole human. That gives them one shining, living example thats not a rumour or a suggestion. Its actually there in the world to be considered".

05.01.2022 In April 2021, Soul Seeker participants will participate in individual breathwork sessions, rather than group breathwork. This month's focus is on the individua...l process and will enable participants to move deeper into their contemplation and exploration of self. This month we will explore our relationship with power, purpose and self-esteem, all qualities of the third chakra, Manipura. Register now to join the Soul Seeker Program starting on 28 February 2021. This program has limited spaces.

04.01.2022 Of all the wellness trends, one benefit appears to be that breathing for all the coaches, books and apps out there cannot be commercialised in quite the same way as sleep and eating. It is free, it can be done anywhere and the effects are instant. Breathwork is brilliant for bringing us into the present moment, says Hartley. We spend a lot of time mentally elsewhere, and the breath can never be in the past or future. If we focus on our breath, were pulled back to the present moment so theres no overworrying or overthinking. We can just be in the here and now.

04.01.2022 "The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving: its in the being. When I need love from others, or need to give love to others, Im caught in an unstable situation. Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me".

04.01.2022 This is beautiful. "Silence is the presence of time undisturbed. It can be felt in the chest. It nurtures our nature". When was the last you experienced this type of silence?

03.01.2022 The findings of this research do not surprise me. Weve sought to medicalise these practices, as a means to manage anxiety and depression. However, meditation/mindfulness (and breathwork) were created as a tool to witness emotional experiences, but also enhance our awareness of consciousness through our breath and body. The expansion of our awareness enables us to understand the underlying energies that pull us out of being present such as trauma, which is an energetic echo... of a past experience. These practices can heighten this energy and allow for its release. They can also take our conscious awareness outside of our known reality, which may challenge our understanding of self and reality. This is why meditation has traditionally been taught with the support of a community and a teacher. Supported by people who have walked the path and who can provide insights based on their own experiences. These tools have been developed over centuries, by thousands and thousands of generations of inner world explorers. They are to be respected.

02.01.2022 Has anyone experienced a Vipassana retreat? My first was over ten years ago, in Burma. To say it was the most difficult physical and mental experience of my life is an understatement, but it became one of the most rewarding. Ive done a couple of more since, and each time gain further insights. Its such a wonderful practice, and Im so grateful for Goenka for bringing back the Buddhas meditation practice to the world.

01.01.2022 The super talented Gemma Perry OM features in this great SMH article about the benefits (and science) of chanting as a means to reduce stress and support sleep. So wonderful

01.01.2022 On the fifth month of the Soul Seeker Program, participants will celebrate and breathe during the longest night of the year, Yule or the Winter Solstice. As the quote suggests, we'll rejoice as we shift from the darkness back towards the light. We move from the death phase of the collective right of passage towards the integration of the new self. This breathwork session will welcome the light in the form of fire - we will breathe with the element of fire. In addition, we'll ...contemplate the qualities of the fifth Chakra, Vissudha - expression, communication and creativity. There is lots of interest in the Soul Seeker Program, with limited spaces it is recommended you reserve your place early. The early bird rate is available until 28 January 2021, with payment plans available.
