🌟 The illusion of CONTROL 🌟
Learning that I had a controlled exhale during my recent Conscious Connected Breathwork Facilitator TTC surprised me. In actual fact, it made me wobble.
"I've done SO much inner work around control. HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?!!"
I genuinely thought I was breathing freely...
SURPRISE!
These moments of sudden awareness hit HARD. They're incredibly humbling.
Control patterns I was born into. Inherited through my family. The way they breathe. Understanding why they breathe the way they do. Becoming aware of how deeply these patterns have been woven into my fascia. My blood. My bones. Understanding why I breathe the way I do, and how control became both a conscious & unconscious pattern.
And suddenly, I had bucketloads of "new" material to work with...! CRINGE!!!
As with everything in life, I had a choice. I could accept it for what it was in that moment & make peace with it
OR...
I could commit to my higher self, my body, my family, my ancestors, the lifetimes before me & all the lifetimes ahead of me to begin breaking these patterns.
I chose the latter.
Easier said than done, right?
I chose to consciously breathe life into all the places where my body felt out of control.To physically experience what that felt like. To sit with the suppressed emotions that arose.To allow them in.
To feel them. To breathe through them.
Without attaching myself to them.
To question the limiting beliefs that surfaced. To become the witness of every shadow part revealed through the process. Without judging myself.
Accepting them as parts of me, without making excuses for them. To revisit the physical traumas connected to them. This time speaking about them. And
actively choosing to free myself from them.
I am not what happened to me.
I am not the stories of my past.
I am not my limiting beliefs.
I am not my patterns.
I am not my shadows.
I am not the walls of protection I have built around me.
I am not the armour I wear.
I am not what happened to my family.
I am not what happened to my ancestors.
I am not what happened in the lifetimes before me.
✨ I AM WHO I CHOOSE TO BE ✨
