We all have that thing we keep dragging behind us—past traumas, toxic relationships, or even old beliefs that say we’re not enough.
The love, joy and magic of this Season seems to be the catalyst that brings you face-to-face with your shame, fear, regret, and everything that’s held you back from the time you learned to walk. Nostalgia and old wounds can bubble to the surface even as you celebrate with family and friends and engage this traditional time of meaningful connection. Staring at sweet old grandpa across the Christmas table may trigger memories that are anything but pleasant and might be more than you bargained for.
If you feel like you’re dragging around dead weight—stuff from the past that just won’t quit That’s not just emotional baggage, my friend. Those toxic relationships, old traumas, and limiting beliefs create energetic ties that drain your energy and keep you tethered to a reality that no longer serve you. And without you even realizing it, these invisible cords are sabotaging your ability to move forward and create the life you deserve.
I’m a big believer in burning bridges. When people or situations bring more hassle than joy, it’s time to let them go. Life’s too short to carry around other people’s drama. But it’s not just about cutting people out of your life—it’s about cutting those energetic cords that keep pulling you back into the past. These energetic ties tie you to old experiences, making it harder to break free and level up.
Here’s the good news is you’ve got a powerful release mechanism that will release those unwanted ties: your breath.
Every time you breathe consciously in a Breathwork session, you are giving your body a chance to reset and release the energy that’s been siphoning your vitality. When you focus on your breath, you create space to let go of those unseen ties—the ones that bind you to toxic family dynamics with grandpa, past traumas, and negative patterns. Your breath becomes the means to sever the unhealthy connections that are draining you and keeping you stuck in old stories.
In embracing the healing power of your breath, you can become aware of that giant-sized backpack of defeat, anxiety, trauma, and stagnation that you have been carrying for too long. With every conscious-connected breath you take you move a step closer to digging out from under that weight. With each exhale, you let go of the past—whether it’s perfectionism, self-doubt, or anything else that keeps you from claiming your wholeness. Inhaling the fresh, clean energy of possibility with every breath.
So, take a deep breath and cut those ties. Don’t let old wounds and toxic energy drag you down anymore. Your breath is the key to walking lighter, living freer, and stepping into the life you were meant for.
