Add Breath February 2024

Happy Lunar New Year

Greetings Friends,

Happy Carnival.

As February unfolds, we breathe in the promise of new beginnings, in the vibrant energy of the lunar New Year. Here in Trinidad, the air is charged, stirring and electric with the creativity of Carnival.

We have a Traditional Dragon Masquerade Character - A “King Beast” who represents the forces of nature. He’s only barely restrained in chains by imps as he dances across his stage.

2024 is a Year of the Dragon.

Happy Lunar New Year.

A New Year is the time many of us will set ambitious goals and take decisions to live into new outcomes - in our personal lives, in our work, in our relationships and for our legacies.

From increased productivity to enhanced decision-making skills, breathwork can supercharge your journey through this potent Year of the Dragon. What better time to harness the energy of the dragon of breath than now?

February Workshop: Dancing with Your Dragon

In celebration of the Lunar New Year and the dynamic energy of the dragon, join me for a free exclusive online workshop this February 21 at 7- 8:15 pm AST.

This workshop will provide you with the tools to harness the power of your breath, optimize your energy levels, and achieve peak performance as you navigate the fiery landscapes of the Year of the Dragon.

With increased energy can come increased stress, which research shows can significantly hamper executive functioning, decision-making abilities, and overall performance.

That's why as we embark on this year, I wanted to remind you of the incredible power of the breath when it comes to managing stress and breathing new life into your professional practice. Harnessing the power of your breath can be the transformative force you've been seeking.

“Don’t think, feel! It's like a finger pointing away to the moon. Do not concentrate on the finger or you will miss all of the heavenly glory.”

Bruce Lee - Enter The Dragon

Discover practical techniques to release stress, improve rest, enhance focus, and cultivate resilience as you embark on this new lunar year.

BONUS - I’ll also share Dragon Breaths: A Mindfulness Breathing Exercise to help children process angry feelings.

The mythical dragon is known for its fiery ferocity when threatened and its great power and vitality.

2024 may bring moments of volatility, but with breath mastery in your toolkit, you too can access your inner power to actualise your bold goals and thrive wildly!

Fire

a woman can’t survive
by her own breath
alone
she must know
the voices of mountains
she must recognize
the foreverness of blue sky
she must flow
with the elusive
bodies
of night winds
who will take her
into herself

look at me
i am not a separate woman
i am a continuance
of blue sky
i am the throat
of the mountains
a night wind
who burns
with every breath
she takes

I talked with my friend and fellow Breathwork fan Alicia Garza about breathing and breathwork on her podcast Breath Revolution. Listen to our conversation here.

In the year ahead I look forward to supporting creatives, teachers, doers, helpers and makers like yourself harness your breath to supercharge performance.
