I took part in an exquisite breathwork session this afternoon lead by my breathwork buddy @sophie_brigstocke It was Harmonic Breathwork which was beautiful and gentle. I could have done it all afternoon. Sophie said there's research to show that if you do this for 15mins a day for 6 months your heart health will be 10yrs younger! (I think I've quoted this right! 🙈) How incredible is that! It is the most simple thing and when we really harness the power of breath it is so powerful! The word that came up for me towards the end of the breathwork was "surrender" As opposed to pushing Thrive with all the "shoulds" This was reaffirmed by the card Sophie pulled for us at the end! Of course it was! #evidenceofmagic #breathwork #harmonicbreath #breathworkhealer #surrender
