Effect On Emotions
- I begin in a state of mindfulness is alignment. Reaching a moment of a perfect and pure flow feeling. I'm moving through a state of no restrictions. There's no resistance. I mean, that's the definition of flow, the absolute lack of resistance.
- Think about electricity; it can flow without resistance, Or you put little resistors in and pull it back. So mindfulness and flow are synonymous to me.
Thoughts On Breathing
- I love breathwork. It's one of my favorite practices. Real breath work where you're focusing on the breathing and nothing but the breathing.
- And I've had some extraordinary visions and experiences as a result of doing breathwork. When I Flowdream or go into my aligned mindfulness, getting into that state, I often begin with breath because, in my world, everything around us is energy. It's all moving forward through time and space.
- So everything is in a state of action. When I'm breathing, what I'm doing is I'm taking a little bit of the world into me. Like I'm literally taking the world into my being and then I'm expelling a little bit of my being back into the world. So it's putting me into this. It's a really strong, synergistic loop with life.
- It reminds me I'm not just this little body walking around. Every moment I am contributing a bit of myself into this world and taking it into me. It's a profound feeling; a profound idea.
Bullying Story
- Being the odd one out as a kid led to bullying, feeling unpopular, and vastly different from my peers.
- Growing up in a hippie household made me stand out, and it created a divide between me and the neighborhood kids. Reflecting on those years, I realized their bullying stemmed from fear or a hidden desire for what they saw in me—being unapologetically myself.
- My refusal to conform triggered both admiration and intimidation. They wanted to embrace individuality but felt restricted by societal norms. Their reactions were a mix of jealousy, anger, and fear of being different. It became easier to project those emotions onto someone embodying that difference—me.
- It was a defense mechanism against confronting their own fears and insecurities about being unique.
