Hey everyone, As you may have seen in yesterday's post here - I’m hosting a 3-Day Virtual Immersion for those ready to understand what actually creates nervous system change, and how to hold that change for others with safety and precision - anddddd we're in the last 24 hours of our early bird access, which is a $3 ticket :) So this immersion isn’t about learning more techniques. It’s about experiencing, in your own body, how breath truly works. Here's how the three days flow: Day 1 is all about safety. What it actually means in your nervous system. How stress and trauma create protective patterns. We'll explore the "umbrella of breathwork,” different styles for different states, and you'll experience a guided practice so you can feel what regulation actually is in real time. Day 2 goes deeper. This is where you'll experience Conscious Connected Breathwork yourself. Not watching. Not studying. Fully in it. We'll explore how breath shifts consciousness, why integration matters, and where science and the sacred meet in the body. Day 3 is about what's possible. Real stories of practitioners building authentic practices around this work. How to turn passion into sustainable impact. And if you feel called, what our Trauma-Informed Somatic Breathwork Practitioner Training pathway looks like. You'll walk away with: - Clear understanding of how your nervous system shapes emotion and safety - Tools to regulate stress through breath - Your own Conscious Connected Breathwork experience - Three practices you can start using immediately - Clarity on next steps This is for coaches, therapists, yoga teachers, wellness professionals, and anyone exploring what it looks like to bring this work into the world with integrity (and ❤️). The early bird ticket is $3 and it’s all online so you can tune in from anywhere in the world. This work isn't about hype or performance. It's for people who value nervous system healing, trauma-informed practice, and serving from a real place.

This is a great topic that @Charlotte Nash brought up...let's explore: From a Nervous System Lens: Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It increases adrenaline and cortisol, raises heart rate, and shifts your body toward sympathetic activation (the “go” state). That means if you come into breathwork (especially down-regulating or nervous system repair practices) after a strong coffee, your baseline arousal is already elevated. So instead of dropping into calm, your system may: - Struggle to slow the breath or settle the mind - Feel jittery, anxious, or “stuck in the chest” - Interpret stillness as threat, not safety For gentle, restorative sessions (like extended exhales, functional nose breathing, or integrative practices), caffeine can make it harder for the body to enter ventral vagal states, the physiology of rest, safety, and connection. In Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB): During a CCB journey, we’re intentionally working with activation and release: opening energy and emotion through the body. Caffeine can amplify this activation, making sensations stronger and sometimes more erratic. It may: - Increase tingling, shaking, or dizziness - Shorten the breath cycle - Make it harder to stay connected to your body or surrender to the process For trauma-informed facilitation, this matters. Caffeine can push the system into hyperarousal instead of healthy expansion, increasing the likelihood of overwhelm or emotional flooding. That’s why in ReWild we often recommend arriving caffeine-free (or with only a small, early-in-the-day dose). We want your system available, not overstimulated. What Supports Regulation Instead: Before breathwork, try... - Warm water with lemon or herbal tea (chamomile, tulsi, or cacao husk) - Light movement or time outdoors to gently raise energy naturally - Slow nasal breathing for 3–5 minutes to ground before the session You’ll likely notice you drop in faster, feel safer in your body, and experience more clarity afterward.

Hi everyone, I'm Jamie and I've been exploring breathwork through a number of avenues for the last few years. Have had some powerful experiences and awareness through consciously choosing the way that I breathe. Am looking forward to learning more and using what I learn to help those that go through my programs or come into my life needing some assistance with their nervous systems. Glad to be here.
