Wow 😱 I am completely speechless and I am still integrating what just happened.
I had no idea what to expect, but I just let myself go completely into the experience.
At first, it felt like my body was completely overwhelmed by breathing so deeply and intensely.
Suddenly my kidneys started to ache (which I now know is where we store our deepest survival fears and trauma), my nose got blocked, and my socks felt so tight that I literally had to rip them off.
My system was trying to hold onto control. But the moment I stripped those socks off, I felt my heart opening up and becoming free.
When the child’s voice spoke those loving words, it completely broke me. The tears just started flowing. Cleansing tears that my inner child had been waiting for over 30 years !
When we were asked to exhale and scream, absolutely no sound came out of my throat. Nothing.
There was a definitive, physical blockade.
As a child, I was forced to be quiet, to obey, and I was never allowed to make noise or even learn a music instrument because it was 'too loud' or 'too expensive'. My voice was literally locked away.
But then, the music changed.
I am extremely sensitive to music. I get full-body goosebumps instantly.
My mind drifted to my dusty guitar sitting in my room, and suddenly, I saw my TRUE SELF.
Since 2018, I’ve had this deep inner feeling that I belong on a stage.
If you know me in real life, you’d think: 'What? Little, shy, introverted Nadine? Never!'
But in that breathwork vision, I saw myself on a stage. Wearing a leather jacket, a nose ring, blue hair, holding my guitar. A total badass rockstar singing her heart out.
And in that vision, I COULD SCREAM! I screamed out all the anger, the frustration, and everything that had been bottled up inside me for decades.
I sang my soul out to 'The Kill' by 30 Seconds to Mars.
It brought me back to a few months ago when a newcomer rock band named 'Thunderpunch' randomly requested to follow me on Instagram. They make exactly the music I embody. They didn’t have a singer yet, and I jokingly messaged them that they need a badass female singer. They actually wrote back asking for voice recordings, but because of my old shyness, I backed down.
But during the breathwork, I realized: that chapter isn't closed.
My soul pulled them into my reality for a reason. I feel it in my bones that I belong with them.
Towards the end, I guided the words "Self-confidence, Gratitude, Love, Reliability, Freedom, Abundance, and Health" through my entire body.
My hands and arms made these strange, automatic energetic movements, but I just felt it deep in my cells.
Old sad memories didn't show up as painful pictures because they were instantly transformed into this high-vibrational power.
I guess, I am not the quiet, invisible daughter anymore.
I am a badass rockstar rewriting her life right now.
Thank you, Aaron, Victor and Pattie and thank you to this beautiful community for holding the space for my liberation! 💜
