🤲🏽 HELD: Free Launch Event for Practitioners

This is the kickoff event for HELD — my new space for therapists, coaches, and guides. We’ll gather, breathe, and explore what it means to be supported as a space holder.

Hi loves,

I’m currently standing at a crossroads myself — a space of change, possibility, and the unknown. It’s both exciting and a little uncomfortable. So I’ve been returning, over and over, to the most reliable guide I know: my breath.

If you’re facing a big decision right now (or just want to strengthen your decision-making muscle), here are 5 grounding questions I’ve been asking myself — and invite you to explore too:

🌀 what am i feeling in my body right now?
🌀 is this choice aligned with my values and long-term vision?
🌀 am i choosing out of fear or trust?
🌀 have i taken the time to pause and reflect?
🌀 if i said yes today, would i feel peace or pressure?

✨ Let your body answer before your mind takes over. Your nervous system knows.

Breathwork for Clarity

These are the two breath practices I’ve been leaning on for clarity, peace, and grounded momentum:

1. Box Breathing (to calm and center)
Inhale for 4 counts
Hold for 4
Exhale for 4
Hold for 4
Repeat for 1–3 minutes

Perfect for moments of overwhelm or racing thoughts.

2. Three-Part Breath (to connect and clear)
Inhale into the belly
Then ribs
Then chest
Exhale slowly: chest, ribs, belly
Let the breath move in waves
Repeat for 3–5 minutes

This one helps move stuck emotion and reconnect with your inner voice.

The breath doesn’t always give us the answer right away —
but it always brings us back to ourselves.

Wherever you are on your path, I hope this helps you move from truth, not urgency. Trust, not pressure.

With love and clarity,
Claire
