Wow, it's been quite the year! For three semesters I've been immersed in an intensive course on Breathontology and as new grads, we've been offering a free summer series so that you can sample the subtle richness of this new approach to knowing and growing yourself.

Next Tuesday, August 16 at 6 pm EST I'm going to be taking my turn teaching a "Sequence for Clear Communication" that I designed as part of my studies.

I'd be honoured if you could join me and I would certainly appreciate your feedback as I launch into this new field of work.

DM me if you'd like to join us and I'll send you the Zoom link.

For the past year I've been on an incredible journey with a group of very talented women. Together we have been studying the science of breathing and the art of using the breath as a vehicle for self-healing. Our studies have been rich, intensive and life changing. Our teacher, Berdhanya Swami Tierra, offered us hands on experience of ancient teachings, immersed us in mystic texts and tapped International experts to be guest speakers.

As new graduates of Breathontology, we are excited to share what we learnt with you by offering you the FREE opportunity to explore the power of your breath through an inspiring 8-week online series which we've called the Summer Inner Breeze Series.

Classes will be about an hour in length and are designed to be gentle, fun, rejuvenating and inspiring. They will include guided relaxation, gentle movements, breath work, and meditation, and are suitable for beginners or those of any level of experience or background.

This FREE 8-week series starts TOMORROW, July 5 at 6 pm EST in an online forum and will be offered every Tuesday at the same time.

If you are interested in signing up, email me at [email protected] and I will send you the link and more details. Please feel free to share this message with anyone you think might be interested!

Stay posted for more details on my Breathontology offerings this Fall!!

Excited to share these new teachings with you.

In Episode Six of Breath Break we take a close look at what it means to breath vertically as opposed to breathing horizontally. Engaging our diaphragm increases the vertical space within our chest cavity. Diaphragmatic breathing is the most efficient way of increasing the volume of air we breathe in as it takes the least amount of muscular effort.

Vertical breathing also helps maximizes the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in our lungs ensuring we don't accumulate stale air. Using the diaphragm makes the heart's job easier, massages the organs within our abdominal cavity and reduces tension within the body. So many great benefits!

Come join me and learn how to breath vertically.

Change your breath and you change your life!

In Episode Five of Breath Break we practice doing the wave like motion of the basic breath. This wave movement helps us maximize the capacity of our lungs, massages our inner organs and releases tension in each of these areas.

Practicing this breath 3 to 5 minutes a day will help reprogram your body and mind to be more calm, relaxed and at peace with your life.

Change your breath and you change your life.

In this episode of Breath Break, we focus on bringing breath into our shoulders. Breathing into the clavicular area is really like putting icing on a cake. The upward movement of the shoulders and the expansion of the shoulder blades gives our lungs more space, allowing us to breath in even more air. Just a bit more movement and relaxation in this area really adds that last touch to a full and complete breath.

We also tend to hold a lot of tension in our shoulders. Breathing into this area helps massage and relieve tightness. When we spend a lot of time sitting at a desk or at our computers, we have our heads bent slightly down. This position collapses our lungs and brings our shoulders forward and down. The exercises in this episode help counter the negative impacts of spending a lot of time in shoulder collapsing positions.

Take some time this week to help your shoulders release tension by joining me for this episode of Breath Break!

Change your breath and you change your life!

The second episode of Breath Break is now available! This week I focus on the Belly Breath.

We often only think about our lungs and the chest cavity when we think about breathing. The abdominal cavity is a vital part of how we breath and how we absorb the life force behind the breath. Breath nourishes us at a physical, emotional and mental level. When we grow our breath awareness and adjust our breath, we can adjust how we nourish all levels of our being.

Come join me. Changing your breath can change your life!

I am very excited about my summer meditation series entitled Nature Speaks. This morning the rain is pouring down in my backyard and it inspired me to record the first meditation for this series. As I sat and listened to the rain, I was struck by the incredible contrast to the deep drought being experienced by southern Arizona, where I was visiting last week.

This meditation invites you to reflect on the contrasts in your own life and in the world around us. We live in a time where two completely different realities often live side by side, or layered one on top of each other. When we inhabit in totality one reality, it is impossible to believe that any other reality can exist, much less be real or true. Yet here I am sitting in my backyard listening to rain pour down after visiting a few short days ago a location where such rain is only a dream.

So what do we do with these contrasts, what can they teach us?

So set aside some time and sit and listen to the rain with me: www.radhgemd.com/courses/nature-speaks/lectures/32910197

"If you are seeking an online experience that offers an opportunity for meaningful connection with yourself and others, I would recommend Radhgemd Escandon’s ‘Be the Peace’ group meditation series.

Looking back over the seven weekly sessions I attended, I realize a pattern emerged that revealed the unique learning that can come from a shared meditation journey. This, I think, was due to the unique talent of our meditation leader who I would describe as a weaver. With deftness and delicacy, Radhgemd wove the light and dark of each individual thread into a luminous, cohesive whole. At the same time, the threads that each brought to the experience were not diminished.

‘Be the Peace’ is a safe place to share or not to share one’s vulnerable thoughts and feelings and those of others. Each individual voice is respected. The beauty of each thread illuminated." ~Marliyn H.

Ayurveda is the science of life, a traditional and wholistic approach to wellness developed in India over 3000 years ago. Just let that sink, 3000 years of development, application, and mastery. I fell in love with this system decades ago and it has enabled me to navigate with ease through medical, emotional and spiritual challenges.

I love the gentle and nourishing approaches that Ayurveda offers for understanding disease and staying balanced.

In this video I interview Sebastian Peralta, an Ayurvedic Professional and Practitioner. We discuss what Ayurveda is, where it came from and how it offers a very unique approach to health and wellness.

I am so excited to share this introduction to an ancient system of medicine that I deeply appreciate and treasure.

Enjoy!
