Hi Reader -
I used to think meditation was the answer to everything, and I've pretty much built my entire life and business around my practice.
But there came a point when it just…stopped working...
Sure, it was calming in the moment, but the second I re-entered my life, I was once again seconds away from getting triggered into a meltdown.
It wasn’t until I learned about trauma and the nervous system that everything clicked. I discovered I was trying to use the wrong tool for what stress state my body was in.
In this week's podcast episode, I'm sharing what happened when meditation wasn’t enough and the surprising shifts that came when I started working with my nervous system instead of against it.
If you've ever dealt with trauma or found yourself stuck in a freeze response, this episode is for you.
Question for you...Have you ever felt like your usual go-to strategies aren’t working anymore?
I'd love to know what your own remedies for this have been! Tell me in the comments on YouTube or Substack, and I promise to respond!
Delightfully,
brooke
P.S. For the record, I still love meditation and do it every day. But I approach it very differently now than I did before...using discernment for when I need to bring in another tool like breathwork instead. Interested in learning more?
Join me on Wednesday, April 16, 7:00-8:30 p.m. MST for my next Breathwork session. If you aren't able to attend live, I will provide a replay that is available for the three weeks after the event (though I'd love to see you in person!)
