The Breath Letter - #21
Dear Breather,
“If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s.” - Carl Jung
When was the last time you threw yourself a serious curveball, stepping into the unknown?
What would it take to make that first step and how could I support that process?
A picture from our last session at Bless Warehouse.
The Breath
The Unknown Breath
Open your Spotify - go to your “Liked songs”.
Then close your eyes…and randomly click on a song!
Find a rhythm and start breathing along, fully surrender, don’t over think and see where it wants to take you.
Keep on breathing and find your path within the song…
The Insights
The Embodiment Paradox
An observation of truly embodied people:
They seem to carry and hold an energy way bigger than what is their physical body.
It's unbound by both internal and external restrictions. Not held in place by fear and resistance.
Maybe true Embodiment means realising that your body is made of the same material, and works according to the same principles, as everything else around us?
So therefore true embodiment is realising there is only one, unbound, body of which you’re part.
Dichotomy transcendence - Spectrum Thinking
I’ve never been a fan of “either, or”, “this or that”, or any diagnoses for that matter.
I believe it’s way more helpful to think of anything as something dynamic, that’s moving more or less on one of many spectrums.
So what if you would check in with your own fulcrums, the key moments, body parts, feelings and emotions around which your life evolves, and you would imagine it on a spectrum.
What would be on the other side of that spectrum? What would move the needle +1 or -1?
