26
00:01:01,884.736037356 --> 00:01:02,924.735037356
There's a lot going on.

27
00:01:02,934.735037356 --> 00:01:07,274.736037356
Let's see, Saturday this week we've got uh, Fist Fest going on.

28
00:01:07,284.736037356 --> 00:01:08,474.736037356
It's in Soda Row.

29
00:01:08,714.736037356 --> 00:01:09,54.736037356
Yep.

30
00:01:09,114.736037356 --> 00:01:12,94.736037356
What time is that thing happening? Oh gosh, I know it's at night.

31
00:01:12,104.736037356 --> 00:01:13,264.736037356
So 6 to 8 p.

32
00:01:13,264.736037356 --> 00:01:13,424.736037356
m.,

33
00:01:13,424.736037356 --> 00:01:13,734.736037356
6 to 10 p.

34
00:01:14,64.735037356 --> 00:01:14,84.735037356
m.,

35
00:01:14,94.736037356 --> 00:01:14,614.736037356
somewhere in there.

36
00:01:14,624.736037356 --> 00:01:15,254.736037356
Something like that.

37
00:01:15,499.736037356 --> 00:01:19,999.736037356
There's a big day going on in that area because the Farmer's Market will be out there.

38
00:01:19,999.736037356 --> 00:01:22,59.736037356
I'm not sure if the Farmer's Market is actually at Sotaro.

39
00:01:22,209.736037356 --> 00:01:29,369.736037356
I know, we reached out to our good friend Laura Gaylord, uh, that runs the Farmer's Market, so we're still waiting to hear back because we do have so much going on this weekend.

40
00:01:29,379.736037356 --> 00:01:33,159.736037356
Worst case is the Farmer's Market will be across the street at that park, so get out there to that.

41
00:01:33,159.736037356 --> 00:01:34,309.736037356
What else is going on? There you go.

42
00:01:34,309.836037356 --> 00:01:36,449.736037356
T Swizz is coming.

43
00:01:37,29.736037356 --> 00:01:38,549.736037356
T Swizzle's gonna be here.

44
00:01:38,569.836037356 --> 00:01:47,159.73603736
Like, like, like, do you tease women? Uh, well, I mean Oh, oh, the cover band! The cover band! Look, my heart stopped for a second.

45
00:01:47,159.73603736 --> 00:01:48,559.73503736
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

46
00:01:48,559.73603736 --> 00:01:49,799.73603736
My heart stopped for a second.

47
00:01:49,869.73503736 --> 00:01:52,889.73603736
She'll be here on October 3rd, I think it is.

48
00:01:52,899.73603736 --> 00:01:54,519.73503736
The Saturday the 3rd, yep.

49
00:01:54,519.73603736 --> 00:02:06,484.73603736
So she is going to be the headliner, right? And, uh, what else we got going on? Is there anything? Who's today's guest? Who do we have on today? Who are our guests? Speaking of guests, last week's guest, let's talk about him.

00:02:19,544.73603736 --> 00:02:20,654.73603736
And I've been so riled up.

59
00:02:20,914.73503736 --> 00:02:22,354.73503736
It's been a wild week.

60
00:02:22,384.73503736 --> 00:02:23,354.73503736
It's been a wild little while.

61
00:02:24,284.73603736 --> 00:02:27,444.73603736
July has been, right? We've had a lot going on in the month of July.

62
00:02:27,444.73603736 --> 00:02:28,914.73603736
So we need this next guest.

63
00:02:28,964.73603736 --> 00:02:30,94.73603736
Let's get to her right now.

64
00:02:30,164.73503736 --> 00:02:30,844.73603736
Let's do it.

65
00:02:31,503.69180992 --> 00:02:31,843.69180992
All right.

00:02:32,303.69180992 --> 00:02:32,813.69180992
Here she is.

67
00:02:32,813.69180992 --> 00:02:33,913.69180992
We brought our guest in.

68
00:02:34,533.69180992 --> 00:02:44,503.69180992
Before we get to her though, I got to say, Becks told me that she went to this amazing thing that like calmed her down and all this stuff a couple of weeks back.

69
00:02:44,833.69080992 --> 00:02:46,923.69180992
And I got to tell you, I'm pretty riled up right now.

70
00:02:46,953.69180992 --> 00:02:51,363.69180992
My last little stint here, two weeks or so, has been pretty chaotic.

71
00:02:52,163.69180992 --> 00:02:53,483.69180992
So I needed this.

72
00:02:53,623.69180992 --> 00:02:54,813.69180992
I needed this, Heather Dawn.

73
00:02:55,653.69180992 --> 00:02:56,983.69180992
Please call me now.

74
00:02:58,433.69180992 --> 00:02:59,973.69180992
Welcome to the show, Heather.

75
00:03:00,843.69180992 --> 00:03:01,773.69180992
Blane needs you.

76
00:03:03,153.69180992 --> 00:03:03,733.69180992
Thank you.

77
00:03:05,793.69180992 --> 00:03:07,223.69180992
Well, it's what I'm here for.

78
00:03:08,623.69180992 --> 00:03:11,503.69180992
So tell us, first of all, you're a breathwork master.

79
00:03:12,263.69180992 --> 00:03:15,533.69180992
Uh, Reiki, all the things, all the things.

80
00:03:15,553.69180992 --> 00:03:23,833.69180992
But tell us, Who are you? Like, who are you? Um, I am an intuitive healer.

81
00:03:23,863.69180992 --> 00:03:31,673.69180992
I'm a spiritual leader, and I use the modalities of breathwork and Reiki.

82
00:03:31,803.69080992 --> 00:03:46,633.69180992
Um, I'm also a yoga and meditation teacher, so I am all about combining body, mind, and soul for healing and really just Getting through everyday life because it's not easy.

83
00:03:46,633.79180992 --> 00:03:51,593.69180992
You're talking to Blane right now.

84
00:03:52,333.69180992 --> 00:03:56,43.69080992
But don't get, I just want to, I don't want to get it too twisted out there.

85
00:03:56,43.69180992 --> 00:03:57,223.69180992
Mine are first world problems.

86
00:03:57,233.69080992 --> 00:04:01,883.69180992
So don't let me, you know, there's people that got way worse who need this right here.

87
00:04:02,313.69180992 --> 00:04:04,833.69180992
Not saying I don't, because we've all got a level of Yeah.

88
00:04:05,453.69180992 --> 00:04:05,543.69180992
Mm-Hmm.

89
00:04:06,23.69180992 --> 00:04:07,853.69180992
something that needs to be lifted.

90
00:04:07,913.69180992 --> 00:04:09,83.69180992
It's like, it's a weight on us.

91
00:04:09,83.69180992 --> 00:04:16,683.69180992
It's, it's something that you, from, from the words of, of Becks, you helped her with like, you can do this.

92
00:04:16,893.69180992 --> 00:04:17,13.69180992
Mm-Hmm.

93
00:04:18,638.69180992 --> 00:04:18,843.69180992
Yeah.

94
00:04:18,873.69180992 --> 00:04:19,653.69180992
First question.

95
00:04:19,863.69180992 --> 00:04:25,68.69180992
First real question, right outta gate, why, what led you to this? Yeah.

96
00:04:26,648.69180992 --> 00:04:27,98.69180992
All right.

97
00:04:28,668.69180992 --> 00:04:29,78.69180992
Backstory.

98
00:04:29,278.69180992 --> 00:04:38,588.69180992
Um, so this has been a while, not to interrupt Heather, I'll let you get to that question, but like clear back from 2008, right? Like your first yoga.

99
00:04:38,608.69180992 --> 00:04:41,648.69180992
So yeah, maybe start there, you know, just back a few years.

100
00:04:41,973.69180992 --> 00:04:44,323.69180992
Okay, let's go way back.

101
00:04:44,363.69180992 --> 00:04:52,53.69180992
So yeah, I had a friend that invited me to a yoga class and it wasn't just any regular yoga class.

102
00:04:52,63.69180992 --> 00:04:53,243.69180992
It was hot yoga.

103
00:04:53,323.69180992 --> 00:05:00,898.69180992
It was a 90 minute hot yoga class and the entire time I felt like I was gonna die.

104
00:05:01,118.69180992 --> 00:05:03,808.69180992
I was sweating in places I didn't know you could sweat.

105
00:05:04,298.69180992 --> 00:05:05,748.69180992
I love me some hot yoga.

106
00:05:05,748.69180992 --> 00:05:06,668.69180992
It's so good.

107
00:05:06,968.69180992 --> 00:05:07,428.69180992
Yeah.

108
00:05:08,298.69180992 --> 00:05:23,938.69180992
Uh, however, you know, I made it through the full class and I just remember lying there in Shavasana and I had never felt so good and so at peace and also so at home within my own body.

109
00:05:24,618.69180992 --> 00:05:26,828.69080992
And so that's what brought me back.

110
00:05:27,518.69180992 --> 00:05:33,58.69180992
And I kept practicing for, I would say close to a year.

111
00:05:33,68.69180992 --> 00:05:37,478.69180992
And then I just had this strong feeling that I needed to teach this.

112
00:05:38,48.69180992 --> 00:05:38,458.69180992
Wow.

113
00:05:39,268.69180992 --> 00:05:48,993.69180992
And, um, I didn't go into hot yoga teacher training because that particular training was ridiculously expensive.

114
00:05:50,133.69180992 --> 00:05:54,383.69180992
Also, it was out of town and I just couldn't do that at the time.

115
00:05:54,393.69180992 --> 00:06:04,433.69180992
So I just searched for a local 200 hour yoga teacher training, um, that I could just do on the weekends and I found one.

116
00:06:05,953.69180992 --> 00:06:10,373.69180992
And it was completely different than what I had been practicing.

117
00:06:10,683.69180992 --> 00:06:14,533.69180992
It was Hatha yoga, more vinyasa flow style.

118
00:06:14,633.69180992 --> 00:06:27,453.69180992
And I remember the first weekend I was like, what did I get myself into? It was so much harder than I thought it would be, but there was still that feeling of.

119
00:06:27,783.69180992 --> 00:06:29,53.69180992
I needed to do this.

120
00:06:29,123.69180992 --> 00:06:30,933.69180992
It was just that soul calling.

121
00:06:31,123.69180992 --> 00:06:38,613.69180992
And, and again, every time I practice yoga and still to this day, it's this coming home to myself.

122
00:06:38,643.69080992 --> 00:06:45,303.69080992
And I don't know if you have like a passion of yours where it's, it's this feeling that you can't really describe.

123
00:06:45,913.69180992 --> 00:06:47,673.69180992
You just know that you're meant to be doing it.

124
00:06:48,313.69180992 --> 00:06:57,283.69180992
And so that really just started that journey and kind of my spiritual awakening of, you know, there's a lot more to.

125
00:06:57,983.69180992 --> 00:07:09,793.69180992
This world than just the physical and I really got into a very physical practice, but there's a lot more spiritual and emotional components that come along with it.

126
00:07:10,553.69180992 --> 00:07:13,493.69180992
So it's just this natural progression of.

127
00:07:14,223.69180992 --> 00:07:16,743.69180992
Practicing and teaching yoga.

128
00:07:17,333.69180992 --> 00:07:21,313.69180992
And then, uh, fast forward quite a few years.

129
00:07:21,373.69180992 --> 00:07:26,153.69180992
Um, after I had my daughter, she'll actually be nine this coming Sunday.

130
00:07:26,233.69180992 --> 00:07:29,598.69180992
So Thank you.

131
00:07:29,728.69180992 --> 00:07:42,108.69180992
So about nine years ago, I found meditation and so I started meditating after I had my daughter and I started really slow, just five minutes a day.

132
00:07:42,118.69180992 --> 00:07:46,78.69180992
Cause I'm sure if you've tried meditating before, it's not easy.

133
00:07:46,668.69180992 --> 00:07:48,838.69180992
It's not easy to sit down.

134
00:07:49,378.69180992 --> 00:07:54,428.69180992
You think that you're going to be clearing your mind and instead you have a slide.

135
00:07:56,768.69180992 --> 00:07:57,688.69080992
And so.

136
00:07:58,418.69180992 --> 00:08:03,918.69180992
But I just started with five minutes and then every week was like, okay, I'm just going to add one more minute.

137
00:08:04,558.69180992 --> 00:08:07,258.69180992
And I didn't stick with it every single day.

138
00:08:07,268.69180992 --> 00:08:16,488.69180992
You know, I missed a lot of days, but what I started to notice was how I felt on the days that I meditated versus the days that I didn't.

139
00:08:17,633.69180992 --> 00:08:25,73.69180992
And that's what solidified the practice for me was I liked the version of me who meditated versus the version who didn't.

140
00:08:26,43.69180992 --> 00:08:32,563.69180992
And so that's when it just became a non negotiable practice every single day.

141
00:08:33,483.69080992 --> 00:08:37,963.69180992
And around the same time, I found Kundalini yoga and meditation.

142
00:08:38,653.69180992 --> 00:08:50,998.69180992
And Kundalini is, they call it the sister science of yoga, but it's really a combination of meditation, breathwork, chanting, mantra, and mudras.

143
00:08:51,28.69180992 --> 00:09:01,108.69180992
And so you're kind of doing the same thing, whether it's a breathwork practice, or maybe it's a move where you're holding your arms up for three minutes at a time.

144
00:09:01,538.69180992 --> 00:09:02,598.69180992
So it's not easy.

145
00:09:03,18.69080992 --> 00:09:11,443.69180992
Um, but I loved it because it, again, it was just overcoming these obstacles within myself.

146
00:09:11,933.69180992 --> 00:09:24,883.69180992
And then that translated to my outer reality, how I would come up against a challenge and knew that I could move through it because I, you know, I can hold my arms up in the air for three minutes long.

147
00:09:24,913.69180992 --> 00:09:26,313.69180992
I can do hard.

148
00:09:26,733.69180992 --> 00:09:28,793.69180992
Yeah, exactly.

149
00:09:29,403.69180992 --> 00:09:33,713.69080992
Uh, but what I loved the most about Kundalini was the breathwork practice.

150
00:09:34,703.69180992 --> 00:09:47,133.69180992
And I just noticed that, you know, some of the practices were even just one minute long and I felt my complete, my whole energy shift.

151
00:09:47,693.69180992 --> 00:09:52,68.69180992
And, uh, So I knew that that was so powerful.

152
00:09:52,818.69180992 --> 00:10:02,238.69080992
And so again, fast forward years after that, um, I, on Instagram, I found, uh, Dr.

153
00:10:02,238.69180992 --> 00:10:16,728.69180992
Corey and Jess, they're also known as the healing couple and they, um, they were my breathwork mentors, not at the time, but this is how I found them was through Instagram and I ended up doing one of their.

154
00:10:17,93.69180992 --> 00:10:18,203.69180992
Breathwork practices.

155
00:10:18,203.69180992 --> 00:10:20,233.69180992
They teach the reset breathwork method.

156
00:10:20,963.69180992 --> 00:10:30,633.69180992
Um, and it was that same feeling that I had when I went to my first yoga class of like, I need to be doing this.

157
00:10:31,813.69180992 --> 00:10:39,743.69180992
So one day I just got this intuitive hit that I needed to reach out to them and join their teacher training.

158
00:10:40,423.69180992 --> 00:10:47,173.69180992
And the funny thing is, is that they said that their enrollment ended the day prior.

159
00:10:48,183.69180992 --> 00:10:54,203.69180992
But we still have one spot open and you apply over the weekend.

160
00:10:54,393.69180992 --> 00:10:55,763.69180992
We'll let you know on Monday.

161
00:10:56,133.69180992 --> 00:11:00,733.69180992
And I bet you can guess, I ended up getting that final spot.

162
00:11:01,403.69180992 --> 00:11:04,963.69180992
And so that was a little over two years ago.

163
00:11:05,213.69180992 --> 00:11:06,33.69180992
And.

164
00:11:07,463.69180992 --> 00:11:10,143.69180992
completely changed from that training alone.

165
00:11:10,733.69180992 --> 00:11:16,843.69180992
Um, and I went on to do their level two teacher training.

166
00:11:16,843.69180992 --> 00:11:25,183.69180992
So I'm a level two certified breathwork facilitator, and I'm now a mentor in their teacher training.

167
00:11:25,453.69180992 --> 00:11:30,943.69180992
So it's been so Heather people that don't know what breathwork, I mean, that is an amazing journey.

168
00:11:30,963.69180992 --> 00:11:35,738.69180992
And then, You know, I don't necessarily believe in all of these coincidences.

169
00:11:36,328.69180992 --> 00:11:44,338.69080992
I think things kind of in a path kind of lead you, you know, to where you ended up, but for people who don't know what breathwork is, they've never done this.

170
00:11:44,378.69180992 --> 00:11:51,813.59180992
Can you maybe go through a couple of breaths or, you know, what we're doing, what that looks like? Because a lot of people don't know what this is.

171
00:11:52,373.69180992 --> 00:11:52,803.69180992
Yes.

172
00:11:52,903.69180992 --> 00:11:55,533.69180992
And I feel like it's a buzzword right now.

173
00:11:55,553.69180992 --> 00:11:55,983.69180992
Yeah.

174
00:11:56,43.69180992 --> 00:12:08,513.69080992
And so it's kind of thrown around, um, you know, for, for everyone to be like, okay, what, what exactly is it? Cause there's so many different modalities, similar to yoga or meditation.

175
00:12:08,513.69180992 --> 00:12:10,233.69180992
There's so many different styles.

176
00:12:10,743.69180992 --> 00:12:21,173.69180992
And so breath work at its core is conscious awareness of your breath and then changing or controlling it for a desired outcome.

177
00:12:22,168.69180992 --> 00:12:28,148.69180992
And so the breath that I teach is, like I said, the reset breathwork method.

178
00:12:28,158.69180992 --> 00:12:32,228.69180992
And so it's a three part conscious connected breathing pattern.

179
00:12:32,838.69080992 --> 00:12:34,338.69080992
And then it's something that we do.

180
00:12:34,348.69180992 --> 00:12:37,608.69080992
It's a long form, um, breathwork journey.

181
00:12:38,18.69180992 --> 00:12:45,893.69180992
And so we do this specific breathing pattern for A long period of time for a desired outcome.

182
00:12:46,913.69180992 --> 00:12:53,793.69080992
And so I guess I can demo what else I do this with her.

183
00:12:53,813.69180992 --> 00:12:55,93.69180992
It's so powerful.

184
00:12:57,93.69180992 --> 00:12:57,783.69180992
Let's do it.

185
00:12:58,273.69180992 --> 00:12:58,693.69180992
Okay.

186
00:12:58,733.69180992 --> 00:13:04,603.69180992
So I'm going to have you come to a comfortable seat, place one hand over your belly.

187
00:13:04,983.69180992 --> 00:13:06,423.69180992
One hand over your heart.

188
00:13:07,613.69180992 --> 00:13:10,213.69180992
Your mouth is going to be open the entire time.

189
00:13:11,13.69180992 --> 00:13:12,893.69180992
You're going to breathe into your belly.

190
00:13:13,423.69180992 --> 00:13:18,863.69180992
So filling it up like a Buddha belly and then up into your chest and then out.

191
00:13:20,123.69180992 --> 00:13:21,103.69130992
So do that a few times.

192
00:13:21,103.69130992 --> 00:13:33,43.69180992
You can close the eyes, belly, chest out, belly, chest out.

193
00:13:33,253.69180992 --> 00:13:33,583.69180992
Good.

194
00:13:33,593.69180992 --> 00:13:36,83.69180992
One more belly, chest out.

195
00:13:39,13.69180992 --> 00:13:39,823.69180992
You can let it go.

196
00:13:41,843.69180992 --> 00:13:43,853.69180992
Do you feel that shift already? Okay.

197
00:13:44,203.69180992 --> 00:13:46,893.69180992
Yeah, imagine doing that for about 20 to 30 minutes.

198
00:13:48,313.69180992 --> 00:13:50,23.69180992
I'd probably pass out the first time I be used.

199
00:13:50,23.69180992 --> 00:13:50,233.69180992
Go ahead.

200
00:13:51,433.69180992 --> 00:13:55,933.69180992
No, I'm saying I'd probably pass out the first time because I'd end up, you know, hyperventilating or something.

201
00:13:55,933.69180992 --> 00:13:57,583.69180992
But yes.

202
00:13:57,993.69180992 --> 00:14:00,453.69180992
I could see this being very, very useful.

203
00:14:00,453.69180992 --> 00:14:02,133.69180992
Mm-Hmm? Yeah.

204
00:14:02,583.69180992 --> 00:14:05,853.69180992
And you know, many people maybe nervous.

205
00:14:06,103.69180992 --> 00:14:14,443.69180992
about that, but I'm there supporting you and guiding you the entire way and your body's so intelligent.

206
00:14:14,443.69180992 --> 00:14:21,973.69180992
It's not going to allow you to get to that state, especially when you have someone there watching you and supporting you.

207
00:14:22,803.69180992 --> 00:14:27,533.69180992
And so if you start to feel like you're getting to that point, you can always slow it down.

208
00:14:27,853.69180992 --> 00:14:30,923.69180992
You can return to nasal breathing, go back into it.

209
00:14:30,973.69180992 --> 00:14:36,693.69180992
So it's, it's more about getting out of the thinking mind and into your feeling body.

210
00:14:37,613.69180992 --> 00:14:43,853.69130992
I'm glad you said that because, uh, I'll jump in right now and say that this is, this is your Instagram right now.

211
00:14:43,853.69130992 --> 00:14:46,823.69180992
We're seeing it visually where you're doing it.

212
00:14:47,473.69080992 --> 00:14:48,433.69080992
Belly, chest.

213
00:14:48,678.79180992 --> 00:14:51,908.69180992
I am Heather Dawn right here.

214
00:14:51,948.69180992 --> 00:14:52,858.69180992
That's what your Instagram is.

215
00:14:52,858.79180992 --> 00:14:54,118.59180992
Go ahead, Becks.

216
00:14:54,118.69180992 --> 00:14:54,658.69180992
I didn't want to.

217
00:14:55,278.69180992 --> 00:14:56,218.69180992
Oh, no, that's great.

218
00:14:56,218.79180992 --> 00:14:57,898.69180992
That was, that was a perfect segue.

219
00:14:58,208.69180992 --> 00:15:07,798.69180992
Um, so I was just saying, I'm glad that you mentioned that it is, um, you know, yes, you're, you're doing that breathing, but it's also when you attend one of your classes, you.

220
00:15:08,18.69180992 --> 00:15:10,198.69180992
Set the intention at the beginning of the class.

221
00:15:10,318.69180992 --> 00:15:18,38.69180992
And the one that I went to was, you know, we were envisioning some things and the person that you want to become, who you are.

222
00:15:18,468.69180992 --> 00:15:22,768.69180992
Um, and it was interesting Blane, because I was wearing my ride the wave media shirt.

223
00:15:23,588.69180992 --> 00:15:25,948.69080992
And so it was funny cause I'm sitting in that class.

224
00:15:25,968.69080992 --> 00:15:29,218.69180992
Yes, I have my black shirt on and it says ride the wave on the sleeve.

225
00:15:29,228.69180992 --> 00:15:29,858.69180992
Right Blane.

226
00:15:30,428.69180992 --> 00:15:36,28.69180992
So Heather actually mentioned in our class, again, I think things, you know, are said and happen for a reason.

227
00:15:36,28.69180992 --> 00:15:42,798.69180992
And I went to that class, just kind of feeling a little bit kind of like you're weak, Blane, down and out, not really sure what to expect.

228
00:15:42,798.69180992 --> 00:15:45,708.69080992
And Heather's like, you know, just trust me and ride the wave.

229
00:15:45,898.69080992 --> 00:15:46,168.69080992
Right.

230
00:15:46,178.69180992 --> 00:15:51,118.69180992
And I'm like, Oh, you know, I had it on my sleeve and I'm like, okay, she's like talking directly to me.

231
00:15:51,368.69180992 --> 00:15:53,978.69180992
And I had such a powerful experience.

232
00:15:55,8.69180992 --> 00:15:56,918.69180992
I am a very a personality.

233
00:15:56,918.69180992 --> 00:16:03,668.69180992
I know you guys don't know that's about me, but, uh, you know, very a personality and it's hard for me to get out of my head.

234
00:16:03,728.69080992 --> 00:16:07,878.69080992
And so I appreciate you saying, you know, concentrating on that breathing.

235
00:16:07,888.69180992 --> 00:16:13,968.69080992
And then as you're talking and then you incorporate some sound bath with that session as well.

236
00:16:14,148.69080992 --> 00:16:17,158.69080992
There's nothing else that you're thinking about other than that.

237
00:16:17,778.69080992 --> 00:16:21,448.69080992
That breath work and then the words that you're helping to guide through.

238
00:16:21,778.69080992 --> 00:16:23,638.69080992
And it is a very safe.

239
00:16:24,133.69180992 --> 00:16:24,883.69180992
Peaceful.

240
00:16:24,903.69180992 --> 00:16:36,23.69080992
It's hard to give words to the feelings that I was feeling through that session because it was just so impactful and almost kind of surreal.

241
00:16:36,173.69080992 --> 00:16:37,673.69130992
Not an out of body experience.

242
00:16:37,673.69130992 --> 00:16:43,513.6918099
That's a little much, but just, you know, the feelings that you're feeling are definitely higher level.

243
00:16:43,623.6918099 --> 00:16:44,863.6918099
And I left energized.

244
00:16:45,98.7918099 --> 00:16:46,408.5918099
Yeah.

245
00:16:46,668.6918099 --> 00:16:53,708.6913099
But when you walk, when you walk into one of these sessions, does she hand you a little cup of Kool Aid or something? Oh, I wish, I know.

246
00:16:53,708.6913099 --> 00:16:54,928.6908099
I'm like, I was not.

247
00:16:54,928.7908099 --> 00:17:01,938.6918099
I know it's hard to define.

248
00:17:01,938.7918099 --> 00:17:03,48.6908099
You're going to have to go Blane.

249
00:17:03,468.6908099 --> 00:17:09,158.6918099
This sounds like an incredible experience, but I want to know, like, how does this, this, this breath work and stuff.

250
00:17:10,568.6918099 --> 00:17:20,478.6918099
Is there scientific stuff or what is it that that, you know, that helps release the emotions that people got stored up from past trauma or whatever it may be.

251
00:17:20,598.6918099 --> 00:17:22,578.6918099
We've all got trauma of some kind.

252
00:17:22,908.6918099 --> 00:17:28,348.6918099
Is this the type of thing that can help release that? Is there scientific evidence behind that? Yes.

253
00:17:28,878.6918099 --> 00:17:31,398.6918099
All of this has been scientifically proven.

254
00:17:31,638.6918099 --> 00:17:33,948.6918099
It's actually a very ancient practice.

255
00:17:34,758.6918099 --> 00:17:34,818.6918099
Hmm.

256
00:17:34,818.6918099 --> 00:17:38,928.6918099
And it's interesting because breath work actually was.

257
00:17:39,773.6918099 --> 00:17:46,873.6918099
Developed around like 60s, 70s when certain drugs started to become illegal.

258
00:17:47,153.6918099 --> 00:17:59,443.6918099
And so they wanted to find a natural way to do something because they were using a lot of, um, you know, these drugs to heal trauma for people.

259
00:17:59,443.6918099 --> 00:18:00,663.6918099
And then that was illegal.

260
00:18:00,663.6918099 --> 00:18:02,253.6918099
And so they.

261
00:18:03,188.6918099 --> 00:18:10,488.6918099
They wanted to find, um, you know, a natural way that they could continue their work of healing trauma.

262
00:18:10,908.6918099 --> 00:18:20,138.6908099
And that's where Breathwork was, um, founded in being able to, um, offer the same thing.

263
00:18:20,138.6918099 --> 00:18:22,388.6908099
And so we call it getting high on your own supply.

264
00:18:22,448.6908099 --> 00:18:25,28.6918099
That's what it feels like when you go through a journey.

265
00:18:25,28.6918099 --> 00:18:31,838.6918099
You're right! Yes, but there is science backed proof of this.

266
00:18:31,858.6918099 --> 00:18:38,18.6918099
And so our body is the record keeper of everything that we've ever experienced.

267
00:18:38,888.6918099 --> 00:18:56,813.6918099
And for a lot of us, we either haven't been taught how to process, um, We don't have the tools or we don't give ourselves the time or space to allow ourselves to feel what we need to feel, because when you feel things, you bring them to the surface so that you can heal them.

268
00:18:57,383.6918099 --> 00:19:00,743.6918099
And if we don't, what we're doing is we're stuffing it in.

269
00:19:01,288.6918099 --> 00:19:04,68.6918099
Deeper down into our bodies.

270
00:19:04,118.6918099 --> 00:19:07,768.6918099
And that's when we start to feel pain in the body.

271
00:19:07,798.6918099 --> 00:19:18,758.6908099
We start to feel anxious, stressed, um, and, and so many other different diseases can manifest because we are not facing our trauma.

272
00:19:19,238.6908099 --> 00:19:25,528.6918099
And so what we do in a breathwork session is we are bypassing the conscious mind.

273
00:19:25,588.6918099 --> 00:19:29,788.6918099
So the conscious mind is basically everything that's happening right now.

274
00:19:30,148.6918099 --> 00:19:30,948.6918099
And that's only.

275
00:19:31,348.6918099 --> 00:19:32,778.6918099
5 percent of your brain.

276
00:19:33,488.6918099 --> 00:19:43,588.6908099
What we're doing is we're getting into the subconscious and that's 95 percent of that's really what's running the show, um, is our subconscious mind.

277
00:19:43,638.6918099 --> 00:19:51,268.6908099
So that's all of our memories, all of our belief systems, all of our conditioning, everything that we've picked up from childhood.

278
00:19:51,268.6908099 --> 00:19:52,578.6908099
And if you want to get really deep.

279
00:19:53,268.6918099 --> 00:19:55,528.6918099
It could even be ancestral trauma.

280
00:19:56,738.6918099 --> 00:20:04,658.6918099
And so breath work, um, we again are bypassing the conscious mind, getting into the subconscious.

281
00:20:05,248.6908099 --> 00:20:12,328.6908099
And what we're kind of doing is like distracting the mind so that we can start to rewire the brain.

282
00:20:12,378.6918099 --> 00:20:14,558.6918099
And so I will bring in affirmations.

283
00:20:15,538.6918099 --> 00:20:37,558.6918099
And if you've tried doing affirmations in the past, for me, it was never something that felt like it worked because it's like, yeah, I'm saying this thing, but I don't really believe it because you're in your conscious mind, but when you're distracting that part of the mind and you're getting into like the deeper parts where you can start to change your belief system.

284
00:20:38,368.6918099 --> 00:20:41,558.6918099
Just through breath work and then bringing in the affirmations.

285
00:20:41,618.6918099 --> 00:20:43,458.6918099
That's when it really starts to stick.

286
00:20:43,498.6918099 --> 00:20:51,158.6908099
And so that's why mindset work it's important, but it's only one tiny piece of the puzzle.

287
00:20:52,8.6918099 --> 00:21:02,908.6918099
Doing the semantics, the body based practices in conjunction with mindset work is where you're going to find that long lasting transformation.

288
00:21:04,268.6918099 --> 00:21:05,238.6918099
Yeah, I love that.

289
00:21:05,268.6918099 --> 00:21:07,448.6918099
And I love that you incorporate that.

290
00:21:07,578.6918099 --> 00:21:26,283.6918099
Um, if you haven't been to one of Heather's classes, I really encourage you to go, um, because of it's not just breath work, right? And then I wanted to touch just a little bit because you and your mom, Debbie, who also happens to be my neighbor, um, combine breath work and sound healing.

291
00:21:26,283.6918099 --> 00:21:28,493.6918099
So talk about a little bit about that.

292
00:21:28,933.6918099 --> 00:21:30,13.6918099
It's such an awesome experience.

293
00:21:30,23.6918099 --> 00:21:30,773.6908099
Blane, you're going.

294
00:21:30,773.6918099 --> 00:21:31,583.6918099
I'm volunteering.

295
00:21:31,643.6918099 --> 00:21:32,203.6918099
You're going.

296
00:21:32,583.6908099 --> 00:21:34,263.6918099
Hey, you don't have to hold my leg to go.

297
00:21:34,263.6918099 --> 00:21:34,713.6918099
I'll be there.

298
00:21:34,863.6918099 --> 00:21:35,223.6918099
I'll go.

299
00:21:35,813.6918099 --> 00:21:36,243.6918099
Yeah.

300
00:21:36,823.6918099 --> 00:21:37,193.6918099
Yes.

301
00:21:37,313.6918099 --> 00:21:46,503.6918099
So, um, Breathwork and sound healing are both really powerful modalities on their own, but there's something so special when you bring them together.

302
00:21:46,843.6918099 --> 00:21:50,443.6918099
And so I will guide you through a full breathwork journey.

303
00:21:51,73.6918099 --> 00:21:56,323.6908099
And then at the end, my mom takes over and she does the sound healing.

304
00:21:56,753.6918099 --> 00:22:02,263.6918099
And so what you're doing is you've done all this work in, because it is called breath work.

305
00:22:02,273.6918099 --> 00:22:08,208.6918099
I know you've, you've mentioned that it's a very, Peaceful and calming, but you're doing work.

306
00:22:08,368.6918099 --> 00:22:09,928.6918099
It's pretty intense though, too.

307
00:22:10,218.6918099 --> 00:22:10,498.6918099
Yeah.

308
00:22:10,668.6918099 --> 00:22:11,848.6918099
It's hard to explain.

309
00:22:11,868.6918099 --> 00:22:12,238.6918099
Yeah.

310
00:22:12,508.6918099 --> 00:22:13,778.6918099
Like, I mean, I was tingly.

311
00:22:13,858.6918099 --> 00:22:17,78.6913099
I was like, you keep your comments to yourself, Blaine.

312
00:22:17,78.6913099 --> 00:22:17,688.6918099
I know what you're thinking.

313
00:22:17,688.7918099 --> 00:22:22,268.6913099
I was like tingly through my arms and like feeling tingled in my head.

314
00:22:22,268.6913099 --> 00:22:23,358.6918099
It was super cool.

315
00:22:23,628.6918099 --> 00:22:24,78.6918099
Yes.

316
00:22:24,128.6918099 --> 00:22:25,168.6918099
But yeah, it was work.

317
00:22:25,448.6918099 --> 00:22:25,778.6918099
Yes.

318
00:22:26,518.6918099 --> 00:22:26,968.6918099
I believe it.

319
00:22:27,438.6918099 --> 00:22:27,798.6918099
Yeah.

320
00:22:27,828.6918099 --> 00:22:34,708.6918099
So sound healing, um, again, another modality that's been scientifically proven, but it's, you're.

321
00:22:35,873.6918099 --> 00:22:40,893.6918099
We're all energetic beings and we all vibrate at different frequencies.

322
00:22:40,913.6918099 --> 00:22:42,983.6918099
Well, so do sound instruments.

323
00:22:43,623.6908099 --> 00:22:55,83.6908099
And so when we are playing different sound instruments, it reacts with your body and the frequency within you, and it can facilitate healing within your body as well.

324
00:22:55,503.6908099 --> 00:22:58,83.6908099
In fact, they use the gong.

325
00:22:58,498.6918099 --> 00:23:07,668.6918099
at the Huntsman Cancer Institute because they've found that cancer cells don't like the frequency of the gong.

326
00:23:08,378.6918099 --> 00:23:09,428.6918099
Wow.

327
00:23:09,438.6908099 --> 00:23:24,458.6918099
And so it can heal so many different ailments within the body and then it can also just provide, you know, stress relief, peace, calm, um, really just anything that your body is needing at that time.

328
00:23:24,628.6918099 --> 00:23:33,768.6908099
So you do all the work and breath work and then you get to just fully relax and be bathed in this sound frequent frequency.

329
00:23:33,958.6908099 --> 00:23:37,473.5918099
And it's a bunch of different instruments that my mom will play and play.

330
00:23:38,393.6918099 --> 00:23:44,973.6918099
When is the next one of these? Like, when can I come to these? This Wednesday, July 17th.

331
00:23:44,983.6918099 --> 00:23:47,383.6918099
I don't know when this podcast is coming out.

332
00:23:47,823.6918099 --> 00:23:49,233.5908099
Um, but it's from 7 to 8.

333
00:23:49,233.6908099 --> 00:23:50,123.6918099
30 p.

334
00:23:50,123.6918099 --> 00:23:50,393.6918099
m.

335
00:23:50,863.6918099 --> 00:23:54,53.6918099
And then the next one after that is August 4th.

336
00:23:54,93.6918099 --> 00:24:00,383.6918099
We always do a Sunday morning class and then we'll do another evening class either like a Thursday or Friday.

337
00:24:00,843.6918099 --> 00:24:04,123.6918099
Um, so August 4th, that's at 10 a.

338
00:24:04,123.6918099 --> 00:24:04,323.6918099
m.

339
00:24:05,88.6918099 --> 00:24:16,898.6918099
So where can I sign up for that? Um, I have, um, I, I just have everyone sign up on my email list and send out the link.

340
00:24:16,908.6918099 --> 00:24:21,708.6908099
I actually post it in the Daybreak Facebook group as well at the beginning of every month.

341
00:24:22,408.6918099 --> 00:24:28,48.6918099
Um, so if you catch those posts, then, um, yeah, you can sign up there.

342
00:24:28,48.6918099 --> 00:24:32,358.6918099
You can reach out to me, um, via email if you're interested in coming as well.

343
00:24:33,878.6918099 --> 00:24:34,248.6918099
Awesome.

344
00:24:34,918.6918099 --> 00:24:38,618.6918099
Now, I got to ask about this because.

345
00:24:39,143.6918099 --> 00:24:43,233.6918099
A lot of this stuff I'm hearing doesn't sound like you've got to be in person.

346
00:24:43,453.6918099 --> 00:24:47,93.6918099
You're like, you don't have to physically be with these people.

347
00:24:47,103.6918099 --> 00:24:50,63.6918099
Now tell me what the breath current is.

348
00:24:50,953.6918099 --> 00:24:56,983.6918099
What is the Bread Current? So that is my virtual breathwork platform.

349
00:24:57,573.6918099 --> 00:25:03,623.6918099
And I created this because this was a big part of my journey as well.

350
00:25:03,633.6908099 --> 00:25:13,763.6908099
Was, you know, these, these in person classes are amazing and there's a different energy to that, but I needed something that I could do daily.

351
00:25:13,763.7908099 --> 00:25:24,158.6918099
And so that's why I created this is their shorter breathwork practices, a bunch of different, um, modalities of the breath.

352
00:25:24,728.6918099 --> 00:25:30,898.6918099
And like I said, breath work is all about changing or controlling your breath for a specific outcome.

353
00:25:31,258.6918099 --> 00:25:35,348.6918099
So you can find videos, they're between 5 and 20 minutes.

354
00:25:35,358.6918099 --> 00:25:38,28.6918099
I wanted to make it really accessible for everyone.

355
00:25:38,378.6908099 --> 00:25:43,708.5918099
You could wake up, do this before work, um, do this in the middle of your day, at the end of your day.

356
00:25:43,848.6918099 --> 00:25:45,608.6918099
Whenever you could fit it in.

357
00:25:46,258.6918099 --> 00:25:58,328.6913099
Um, and so you can find videos for stress relief, um, letting go of anxiety, letting go of anger, um, really heavy emotions.

358
00:25:58,328.6913099 --> 00:26:05,528.6918099
But then there's also, you know, if you are, um, Calling in something that you desire, something that you want to manifest.

359
00:26:06,88.6918099 --> 00:26:10,588.6908099
If you need more energy, um, there's practices for all of that.

360
00:26:11,208.6918099 --> 00:26:14,248.6908099
And so you can do that virtually from home.

361
00:26:15,758.6918099 --> 00:26:16,258.6908099
It's incredible.

362
00:26:17,258.6918099 --> 00:26:18,918.6908099
Absolutely amazing, Heather.

363
00:26:18,918.6918099 --> 00:26:20,78.6918099
And I just.

364
00:26:20,263.6918099 --> 00:26:23,63.6918099

365
00:26:23,103.6918099 --> 00:26:26,83.6918099
I really encourage everybody to take one of your classes.

366
00:26:26,403.6918099 --> 00:26:29,73.6913099

367
00:26:29,73.6913099 --> 00:26:32,43.6918099

368
00:26:32,273.6918099 --> 00:26:36,813.6918099
Blane, what last minute thoughts do you have, friend? I can't wait to get to one of these things.

369
00:26:36,813.6918099 --> 00:26:41,243.6918099
So you said it's July 17th and then August the 4th.

370
00:26:41,303.6918099 --> 00:26:42,553.6918099
Was that what I heard? Yep.

371
00:26:42,573.6918099 --> 00:26:43,53.6918099
That's correct.

372
00:26:43,633.6918099 --> 00:26:44,833.6918099
I might be at both of those.

373
00:26:45,593.6918099 --> 00:26:47,543.6918099
We may show up, we may record some of this.

374
00:26:47,543.6918099 --> 00:26:52,483.6908099
I might have to come in and get a little video or something and I hope I don't pass out.

375
00:26:52,723.6918099 --> 00:27:01,973.6918099
Is it going to be as hot? Are we doing a hot yoga session? Cause we don't, we just got to go outside for that right now, right? No, it'll be at my mom's home.

376
00:27:01,983.6908099 --> 00:27:12,553.6918099
And so it's nice and comfortable and yeah, we encourage you to even bring blankets cause sometimes you can feel, you know, You know, really hot or really cold when you're in a session.

377
00:27:12,593.6918099 --> 00:27:15,973.6918099
So it's every session is different.

00:27:24,513.6918099 --> 00:27:28,233.6918099
