🌑 CHANGE: The Unraveling of What Was 🌑

DATE:Friday, June 26th
TIME:7:00–9:00 PM

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow."

~ Lao Tzu

Change is rarely difficult because something new is arriving.

Change is difficult because something old is leaving.

A relationship shifts. A role ends. Children grow. A belief that once guided you no longer fits. Sometimes change arrives as a choice. Sometimes it arrives without permission. Either way, it asks the same thing of us:

Can you release what has been?

Most people think they fear change itself. More often, they fear the uncertainty that follows. The space between what was and what will be. The place where familiar structures dissolve and new ones have not yet emerged.

This is where anxiety often lives.

Part of you wants to move forward. Another part wants to hold on. You may find yourself looking backward, replaying old conversations, old versions of yourself, old certainties. The mind searches for stability, trying to rebuild what is already changing.

The body carries this resistance in specific ways. Tightness in the jaw. Constriction in the chest. A restless energy in the belly. The nervous system preparing for a threat that has not yet appeared. The breath becomes hesitant. Controlled. As if holding still could somehow stop life from moving.

You may notice yourself gripping internally. Holding onto identities, expectations, relationships, routines, or dreams that no longer belong to the person you are becoming.

When change is resisted, breath becomes restricted.

The inhale struggles to receive what is new.

The exhale struggles to release what is complete.

We often believe that certainty creates safety. Yet much of life unfolds beyond certainty. Every meaningful transition requires entering territory where the next step is not fully visible.

This breathwork is designed to meet the places within you that are resisting change. You may encounter grief for what has ended. Fear of what is unknown. Anger at what you did not choose. Longing for what cannot return.

Allow these experiences to arise without rushing to resolve them.

Change is not simply an external event.

It is an internal reorganization.

A death and a birth occurring simultaneously.

Beneath every transition is an invitation to trust something deeper than certainty. To discover that your stability was never meant to come from circumstances, but from your capacity to remain present as circumstances change.

Notice what you are still carrying.

Notice what is already trying to leave.

Notice what is quietly waiting to emerge.

The breath cannot hold and receive at the same time. To welcome what is coming, something must be released.

Let the breath move through the places that are clinging to yesterday. Let it soften the parts of you trying to predict the future.

You do not need to know what comes next.

You only need the willingness to stay present as the old falls away.

Change becomes less frightening when you stop trying to control the river and remember that you are part of its flow.

Let your breath teach you what life has always known:

Everything changes.

And you are built to change with it. 🌑
