“All life is a circle. The atom is a circle, orbits are circles, the earth, moon, and sun are circles. The seasons are circles. The cycle of life is a circle: baby, youth, adult, elder. The sun gives life to the earth who feeds life to the trees whose seeds fall to the earth to grow new trees. We need to practice seeing the cycles that the Great Spirit gave us because this will help us more in our understanding of how things operate. We need to respect these cycles and live in harmony with them.”
― Rolling Thunder
My name is Bonnie and I am a qualified Breathwork Facilitator and Holistic Therapist. My journey to becoming a guide for others was one of lived experience and professional training. I spent many years of my adult life, not feeling safe. Through the harshness of life, I had become defensive and disconnected from myself. I struggled to identify my feelings from years of numbing them and I ran from problem to problem, reacting to my surroundings with stress, anger and fear.
On the outside I seemed fine but on the inside, I felt empty. I wanted more from my experience on this earth for myself and for my family.
I made the decision, back in 2014, to begin my own healing journey. I took steps to become a qualified holistic therapist and began practising homeopathy and energy healing. I also enrolled to become a conscious connected breathwork facilitator which changed my life forever. A whole new world opened up for me when I started my breathing experience~ I finally began to feel safe in my own body, which in turn made the people around me and the world in general a safer place for me to live in. It was as though life had gone from grey to technicolor.
Through teaching conscious connected breathing, I learned I had the unique ability to connect with others and create an environment where they feel safe. It is always an honour and a privilege to be a part of my clients deeply profound journey’s.
I went drumming today. My body had been feeling tense after navigating a few stressful situations while supporting someone so I decided to take myself to the earth.
I sat beside a local lake and drummed. Drummed and breathed to the rhythm of the heartbeat. Letting the vibrations of the drum connect with my heart space, helping me tune in, soften and ground. To come back to my centre.
As I played, the steady beat guided me into a drum journey, that place where the rhythm draws you inward, into a deep calm, into connection with the heartbeat of Mother Earth herself. The more I attune to her and my breath the more grounded and steady I feel in my day. It even supports my chronic pain because the rhythm helps my body release tension,
my mind to open, and my spirit to connect with the unseen realms all around us.
So my invitation is this:
Come back to the heart.
Come back to its rhythms.
And resonate with the constant, steady pulse of Mother Earth.
