Come breathe with me under the full Libra moon!
This is the first full moon of the astrological new year, and the first full moon post-eclipse and equinox.
If emotional debris has piled up, now is the time to clear it.
It may even be a culmination point, where the seeds you planted with the new moon/equinox are beginning to reveal what they need to actually grow.
This Aries-Libra polarity is a relationship axis, where Aries represents the self and Libra represents the other. You may feel some stickiness arise in your relationships that ask for you to look at how you need to adjust: do you need to be more self-assertive, or more gracious and compromising?
This is your space to breathe through it all.
Breathwork and reiki are the perfect way to release any emotions, fear, confusion and heaviness that has been accumulating and pour love back in. In these virtual spaces you are on your own unique journey, while remaining connected to a community of loving people who want to heal.
In this gathering we will set gentle intentions, then we will lay down to breathe for 30-ish minutes, after which you will receive reiki energy with a sealing meditation and optional space for sharing to close.
If you are new to breathwork with Mandy, you will be asked to fill out a breathwork waiver and release form prior to the circle. If this is your first time practicing breathwork, please indicate below and Mandy will contact you with a prep video and some tips.
Here are some recommendations to set yourself up to have the best possible experience:
Be careful not to eat anything heavy for 1-2 hours prior to the session
Make sure you are well hydrated and bring water with you
Wear comfortable clothes. Jeans are not recommended, nor is anything that restricts your midsection.
Bring a journal and something to write with.
Choose a location that is private and where you can lay down and not be constricted (a bed is fine; I prefer the floor).
Headphones will allow you to be more fully immersed in the musical experience. I design the playlist to take you on a specific journey and the music is very important. If you are using bluetooth headphones, make sure they are charged up.
You can bring a pillow for under your knees, and have a blanket handy as well.
If you like to use an eyemask, you can have one handy, or a soft hand towel if you don’t have an eye mask.
Breathwork can be an emotive practice for some people, so if you live with a partner or roommate, let them know that if they hear you shout or cry that you are ok.
Make this time sacred and set your mood. You may light candles, have meaningful/spiritual items near you, turn on a diffuser with soft essential oils that you’re used to (make sure these are far away from you), and really make the space yours. Stay away from burning sage or palo santo or anything strong that may irritate your airway.
