Autumn is known as the season of the lungs and a time of year that encourages meaningful ritual that deepens connection with ourselves and our ancestors, while asking us to explore the art of surrender, letting go and a willingness to outgrow old versions of the self. 

It's a season that brings us face to face with where we might be resisting change or possibly even where we need to stop rushing and overthinking, get quiet and go within. On an emotional level, leaning into the organs of the lungs encourages us to meet with, tend to and process any grief lingering in the archives of the body. 

Shedding versions of ourselves that we've outgrown is a necessary process for fully embodying the one we're growing into and becoming. Nature shows us this time and time again. When snakes grow, their skin becomes too tight and worn and so it sheds, a regenerative process that allows the snack to evolve. 

There are times when our growth asks us to integrate and times when our growth asks us to shed and release. Although certainly difficult, it can be an empowering journey to allow old patterns, outdated dreams and past versions of self to fall away in order to create space for our own personal evolution.

Breathwork is an active meditation technique that uses the breath to purge the body and nervous system of emotional debris.  It is part catharsis, part socially sanctioned adult temper tantrum, and part consciousness altering.  The experience moves stagnant emotional energy and facilitates release of strong emotions like anger and sadness.  It can help you to find a home in your body and your heart and help you learn to trust yourself.  It may leave you feeling softer, open and less burdened.
