Breathing Space Freo

Something you should know about trauma.
It can be tricky….
It can be in hiding for years.
While it’s in hiding, it can gather strength, it can join forces with other trauma while it lurks around waiting……
What is it waiting for? Just a trigger, any old trigger really.
A stressful situation, an agitation, a surprise, a birthday a comment, a setback, nothing specific sometimes.
Or it might be that you’ve felt something gathering momentum inside you, an unsettling feeling, not quite right..
Then it shows up, no warning, uninvited, often there seems to be no reason either.
How does it show up?
It’s a bottomless list.
Some of the common ways: anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, mood swings, headaches, chronic fatigue, detachment, sleep problems, far too many to list here.

And how do we cope, what can we do to mitigate these symptoms.
The answer lies within our body.
Trauma is stored energy within our body that needs resolving and discharging. Through the breath and connecting with our physical body the process can begin.

Allow me to sit with you, support you, to start resolving the hold trauma has on you.

Breathing Space is again offering a free community event to mark RU OK Day. Join us for a beautiful morning of guided meditation and sound healing 💛

www.breathingspacefreo.com.au to book your spot.

What is RU OK day?

….. It’s our National Day of Action when we highlight the importance of meaningful conversations and remind all Australians to start them every day of the year.
It’s a day where Australians come together at community events across the country to share this important message. Thank you to everyone who is taking part in R U OK?Day.
Most importantly, continue to keep asking, ‘are you OK?’ and have regular, meaningful conversations with your colleagues, family and friends. Keep it up, because a conversation just could change a life. after all, we are all just walking each other home.💛

It’s normal when experiencing grief to respond in ways that might feel unrecognisable to you

Here are some ways this might show up for you - and all of these responses are both normal and okay 🩷

🤍feeling numb
🤍feeling like you can’t stop crying or you can’t cry at all
🤍wanting to be alone
🤍laughing at what seems inappropriate times
🤍brain fog
🤍anger/immense sadness/guilt/anxiety/shame
🤍 feeling that you’re “not grieving properly” or in the same way that you see others respond
🤍 feeling different emotions all day long - it can feel like you’re in a washing machine
🤍 feeling desperately sad at the loss of the future you thought you had with your person

Breathwork and the trigger…..
Tonight I was fortunate to listen to a presentation by an ex policeman, Paul Litherland. The subject was teenagers and social media. He is a very skilled presenter and shared many practical skills to navigate our children’s safety on line….

I came home feeling heavy, sad, slightly distressed and with the potential to react in a non constructive manner.

Luckily for me- and my teenage son- I chose to pause….. I closed my eyes, breathed into my body and noticed my throat and chest were tight. I kept my awareness on my breath and my throat and then the tears came. What I actually felt was helpless. Sad and helpless that I might not be able to protect my son from poor decisions he may make or poor decisions of others that may affect him.

Staying tuned into my breath, I was able to regulate myself and feel a sense of calm.
Now I am ready to have a different, more constructive conversation with my son- albeit, a potentially uncomfortable one…

Breathwork is a key 🔐

To quote Peter Levine, an expert in Somatic healing, “ Body sensation, rather than intense emotion, is the key to healing trauma. Be aware of any emotional reaction swelling up inside of you, and be aware of how your body is experiencing these emotions in the form of sensations and thoughts”
Breathwork is the key to bringing our awareness to the physical body and receiving the messages it has for us in order to heal.
Simply put, breathe, feel, heal..

Our Lovely Louise from Heart Space- at Breathing Space Freo Thursdays❤️

The chemistry of our body, and the hormones we are creating, when we are in a state of stress or anxiety is a completely different body chemistry to when we are in a state of calm and relaxation.
This change is an unconscious body reaction governed by our Nervous system.
In Somatics we use awareness, our breath and sometimes body moment to be able to create change in our body chemistry to produce the hormones of health, wellness and healing.
Stress hormones of Adrenalin, Cortisol and Norepinephrine are great when we are ‘getting chased by the tiger’ (so to speak) but these are not the hormones we want running through our body for wellness.
We can learn to regulate our nervous system to allow our body to create hormones like Dopamine, Oxytocin, Seratonin and Endorphins. These hormones help our body heal, reduce inflammation and can regulate our mood.
These principles are a strong focus in Vicki’s counselling and kinesiology sessions.

When I was lost and desperate for direction and support, I wish someone had told me that what I was really longing for was to meet myself. That nothing else would soothe me until I first came to touch my own divinity. It is through the breath that I reach stillness, source and love, the divine place in me.

Breathwork sessions can support you to dive deeply into self and transform those areas in life where you feel stuck and caught in a loop.

How willing are you to change?
Are you ready to clear out your old self limiting behaviours?
