Healing Is Everything

Many clients have shared something like this after their first Breathwork session:

‘I released more in this one session than in five years of talk therapy.’

It’s a powerful thing to feel, and in many ways it’s true. But the deeper truth is that such a powerful release could not have happened without those five years of work.

Everything we have experienced—every therapy session, every healing practice, even the things that felt like they didn’t work—has been part of the path that brought us to the thing that makes the shift.

We can’t give up. If you have never had a Clarity Breathwork session, now may be the time.

We are always arriving at the culmination of everything we have already done for ourselves.

Breathwork: Reconnecting With Your Life’s Purpose

A person standing on a beach with gentle waves lapping the shore and a cloudy sky in the background.

There is so much going on in the world right now. Things are shifting daily. Our personal goals and life direction are opening to new possibilities as we rise individually and collectively to this moment in history.

Fear, old emotional wounds, and self-doubt can cloud your sense of direction and action. A Breathwork session can help you clear these energetic blocks, making room for a deeper connection with your authentic self.

Breathwork helps you remember who you are beneath the surface, release what’s not yours, allowing you to realign with what deeply matters. In this space, your purpose becomes not just something you seek, but something you live. You live your life not as an abstract idea, but as something you feel deeply and personally.

Self-Healing With Breathwork

In April, I missed twelve days of work because I was sick. I had that crazy coughing cold/flu thing that was going around. I was exhausted, but I did not have a fever. From what I was hearing from other people, I knew it could last for two weeks.

Canceling clients is my least favorite thing to do. Disappointing people is irritating, and I have to talk myself through it every time. Knowing I would be down for a while, I decided to fully surrender to the healing process.

It still sucked.

I had a lot of time alone to think and meditate. Unfortunately, I checked the news a bit too often, and I felt the weight of the world.

Breathwork saved me. When I felt overwhelmed, I breathed for a full hour. It released all the sadness and grief that had come up, and my body felt so relaxed, calm, and peaceful.

I felt so much gratitude for my breathwork practice.

As you can see from the photo, my dog Berkeley also helped me heal by lying around being cute.

Clarity Breathwork: A Very Versatile Tool

One private Clarity Breathwork session will give you access to an amazing healing process.

After my first session, I started doing Clarity Breathwork every day on my own, as well as having private sessions. I still have regular private sessions and use it often to ground my energy during the day.

Here are a few ways you can use breathwork to support you in your life:

1. If you find yourself triggered, like when you read the headlines in the news, you can breath immediately. Sit or lie down, then do ten connected breaths. See how you feel. Repeat if necessary.

2. If you do Shamanic journeys, you can use circular breathing to go deeper. THIS IS AMAZING!

3. When you can’t fall asleep at night, focus on the connected breathing. Continue until whatever energies are in your body are released or you fall asleep.

4. Create a personal ceremony with an intention. Focus on an issue that you are presently dealing with financially, medically, or creatively. Pick the perfect music. Set up an altar and a comfy private space. Journal, and breathe for fifty minutes to call in the vision you need at this moment in your life.

5. Use Breathwork to deepen your meditation practice. Do ten deep, connected breaths before sitting.

Client Comments After Breathwork

“I am breathing more easily and deeply, so I consider the session a big success. Panic levels have subsided considerably.” 

“It’s astounding.  The tears were so healing.  You hold space so beautifully. Thank you, from so deep in my heart, thank you.”

“My body is pain-free for the first time in many years. Breathwork was the key. My chiropractic and physical therapy sessions have become more beneficial since I started working with you. My body is so much more relaxed and open.”

From The Clarity Breathwork Website:

“It helps us to open our hearts, regain our trust in life, hear our inner guidance, and discover our inherent connection to all beings and to the miracle life itself”

Healing and Sacred Space

Over the years, many people have asked me how I handle all the trauma, heavy emotions, and ‘negative energy’ clients bring to my Healing and Breathwork sessions.

I do set the intention and focus of the sessions, but it is the sacred space that holds, transforms, balances, and allows my clients to self-heal.

Being in that high state of consciousness with another person is so life-affirming. My clients constantly inspire me. I am so profoundly grateful to be doing this work.

I don’t have any answers to all that is happening now, but I do have the space.

Healing: Covid, Intuition and Feeling Safe

I haven’t written much about COVID because my intention is to keep these blog posts more upbeat, as well as educational. Yet, COVID is not going away and for me has been quite an exercise in surrender and trusting my intuition.

Over these last few years, there have been many times that I have had to cancel five days of in-person clients because of a possible exposure. This is quite a financial hit, yet this is where I have learned to surrender to what is. The first few times, it was quite a stressful process, but I am happy to say I am much better at spontaneous vacations.

I still test for COVID at least once a week. I also test before every client with a compromised immune system and wear a mask with them. I happily take a COVID test and wear a mask for anyone who requests it.

I want everyone who comes for healing or a breath session to feel safe. My job as a healer is to create a safe place for my clients to relax and self-heal. To do this, COVID has to be addressed.

After I test, I usually send a photo. I try to make these photos as interesting as possible. While writing this post, I realized I have a LOT of test photos.

The Healing Dog: Berkeley From Oakland

Over the last ten years, my dog Berkeley has attended almost every Healing and Breathwork session —unless he decides to visit his friends in the building. 

He loves going to work, and he loves coming home. He takes his job and routine as a healing dog very seriously. 

Someone once told me the secret to a good life is having a dog. I have to agree and add that having a dog and being able to take him to work is the secret to a great life.

Science And The False Reality Of Loneliness

In this thought-provoking video, Lisa Miller, Ph. D., discusses the epidemic levels of loneliness in our world today.

She is a clinical psychologist and Professor of Psychology and Education at Columbia University, Teachers College. She is also the Founder of the Spirituality Mind Body Institute, the first Ivy League graduate program in spirituality and psychology.

Professor Miller believes we are all interconnected. She states that by embracing spirituality and practicing it with intention, we can realize we are not alone. She describes in this video her experience in a Lakota healing ceremony and the transformative power of collective spiritual practices.

As a Clarity Breathworker, I have witnessed many people experience that interconnectedness—the tangible, felt sense of oneness—in their sessions. It is profoundly healing: physically, mentally, and emotionally. Breathwork is my personal path and practice of connecting with this state of consciousness. This is why I am so inspired to hold space for others to breathe.

Thank you, Lisa Miller!
