People think all the time that they can do it all by themselves. The answer, I believe, to this is NO! I know first hand how how hard it is for everything
Before I started yoga, I had been in therapy for over the last 5 years off and on throughout my lifetime. It wasn’t until I switched therapists and found someone who connected with me and understood me.
This might be a little ramble, but it will all make sense when I had my first session. At the very end, I told HL that I wanted to learn how to breathe and to figure out how we can incorporate it into my therapy session. The next session, we came back with breathwork, and we used our senses like touch, feeling, smell, ,hearing, and breathed through each sense.
I’ll never forget how much that breathwork/meditation did; since then, we’ve been doing this ritual every session, where I come in, and we go through a guided meditation. Not that one but differents one.
It’s funny because I asked HL if she practiced hot yoga or yoga in general, and she said yes, which was funny because I see how our ritual and when I do my yoga practice is so similar. Comes back to the breathwork, and that’s where my healing started in therapy.
But anyway, enough of my rant. The reason Yoga and Therapy create a profound sense of healing for me is cause how I started my yoga is very similar to how I wanted my new therapy to go. This is my Art of Healing and how therapy and yoga helped me heal to start my jounrey
