When We Keep Telling the Same Story, We Can Keep Re-Living It.
Our stories matter. They deserve to be witnessed, acknowledged and understood. Sharing what has happened to us can be an important part of healing and can help us make meaning from our experiences.
But sometimes, when we repeatedly tell the same story from the same emotional place, we can unknowingly keep the nervous system connected to the experience.
The mind remembers the story - and the body can remember the emotional imprint.
Each time we revisit an old experience with the same fear, anger, grief, shame or resentment, we may reinforce familiar.The emotional and physiological patterns. The story becomes part of our identity, and we can find ourselves responding to present day situations through the lens of the past. This is where Breathwork can offer another pathway. Rather than continually analysing or retelling the story, conscious connected breathing invites us to turn our attention toward what is happening within the body right now.
The breath can help us access emotions, sensations and deeply held patterns that may not always be available through conscious thought. As we breathe, we create an opportunity to feel what has been held, allow emotions to move, and elease habitual patterns of tension and protection. In this sense, we are not trying to erase our memories or deny what happened. We acknowledge the story, but we don't have to keep living inside it.
Breathwork can help us work with the emotional and bodily imprint of recurring experiences, so that the past no longer has to dictate our responses in what once triggered us, may gradualy become something we can witness without being overwhelmed by it.
But the charge around the story can change.
And as we release the emotional patterns that have been keeping us contracted, we can experience greater access to our natural vitality, presence and life-force energy.
Healing isn't about forgetting. Its about becoming free to experience life beyond the limitations of the old story.
