Let go. Unwind. Integrate. Rest.
Join me, Rachel Jensen, at The Grief Room for a special breathwork circle. This circle is for anyone looking to move through and process stuck grief. The goal is to leave a little lighter, a little clearer, a little more grounded and integrated.
You can come to process your own stuff, that of your community and the country & world.
Want to process your grief and dont know what breathwork is?
Breathwork is making its way back around to our culture, and there are still plenty of folks unfamiliar with it. If that's you, hello! Hopefully the following can answer some of your questions. If you still have some, fell free to email me at acupuncturewithrachel@gmai.com:
Breathwork has been around for a long, long time. There are many ways to practice breathwork along with many styles. The style we will use during this class is sometimes referred to as circular breathing: A 3-part breath (in through the belly (first part), in through the chest (second part), and exhale (third part)-all in and out through the mouth. Speed this up just a bit (or not-you choose) and repeat.
With minimal tools (it's just you and your breath), breathwork allows for an immediate shift so we may let go of trauma, anxiety, pain & stuck feelings & create space for new life, energy and flow.
Flow of the class
If you've been to my other breathing circles, this one will have a similar flow just with a different environment and a theme of processing grief:
We'll have some time to share, then I'll guide you through an exercise to help ground, then we'll go ahead with the active breathwork with music, rest &integrate with music, and close with more sharing or journaling if you'd like. I'll have a short workbook for you to journal in before or after. You can take this with you as a memento of our group and further processing as the days go by.
You can also come a little before hand while I'm setting up, and take advantage of the Grief Room goodies: Browse books, meditate, make some tea, grab a snack for after, find other little treasures throughout the room.

A few thoughts about grief
I know there will be some people who will not come to this event because the word "grief" is attached to it.
I get it.
Our cultures' relationship with death, dying and grieving is incredibly skewed, to say the least. I'm def not an expert, and I have my fair share of grappling with it. Along my journey I've learned a few things that I think can help the stuckness. Breathwork being one of them.
The way we get good at a thing (and I'm telling this to myself as I write it, to you) is doing the thing. If we continue to hide from "doing" it ie: processing our grief, there's not much hope that we will get "better" at it. Just like riding a bike. You want to get good at it? You have to ride the damn bike.
Also, a reminder that we can grieve lots of things. A human being that has passed away is the most common thing people think about. And, we can grieve a pet, a lost opportunity, something that never happened, a career, a home & other physical places, people we've never met, an idea, the life we once lived, the life we never lived, and on and on.
If you feel stuck, if you are curious, if you're a vet with grief, I invite you to come along and use this night as a tending to, a dusting off, a processing and letting go. So that, perhaps, what was once frozen can thaw. What was once so tight can start to unwind. What was once disconnected can re-connect.
And we can heal together.
One other thing to think of-in many traditions, the act of grieving helps the thing we've lost to move on. Your tears can be a healing balm for you and what you've lost.
