Hi, I’M LINDA

Back in Bali and my head has been full of question Back in Bali and my head has been full of questions.
Being in the water always helps me to reconnect to the present moment and what’s already here instead of loosing myself in the past or future. 

So much gratitude for this island!

Happy one year anniversary surfing with @dreamsurf Happy one year anniversary surfing with @dreamsurfliving 💃🏼 

It’s been a year of so much fun, joy and shared happiness. 
It’s been a year of chasing the sunrise, hunting the best waves and exploring new islands.
It’s been a year of stepping out of my comfort zone, exploring my edges and overcoming fear. 
It’s been a year of learning how to surrender to the unknown, respecting nature and appreciating the caring nature of people that I can now call my little ocean family. 

It’s been a wild ride and freakin blast! I couldn’t ask for better coaches and friends. You guys always make me feel safe and supported during every high and every low and I don’t take that for granted!

THANK YOU for sharing your love for the ocean with me @danihidaffit @agusblackysetiawan @teopong @chokz_ !!!

I’m so proud to see you guys growing so much as humans and with @dreamsurfliving 

May this just be the beginning of so many more shared hours in and out of the water! 

SO MUCH GRATITUDE!

What if you don’t need to run away from discomfo What if
you don’t need to run away
from discomfort 
because there is so much strength and willingness inside you
to simply sit with it
giving it space to exist
to feel into it
to move through it
and to come out on the other side
as a slightly different person
less heavy
more light and connected

What if I tell you - it’s possible for you to feel this way too?

yoga has been a profound practice for me to explor yoga has been a profound practice for me to explore my body in movement and silence, to expand my awareness and interoception, to be more present, to explore edges and to stop when I wasn’t physically, mentally or emotionally ready for it yet. 

@zazyoga and @yogawithella_ have been my greatest teachers on my yoga path and I keep coming back to what they’ve taught me especially about alignment, anatomy and the yoga philosophy. Endless gratitude for you 🤍

THE BENEFITS OF BREATHWORK When I refer to Breat THE BENEFITS OF BREATHWORK 

When I refer to Breathwork, I talk about Facilitated Breath Repatterning (FBR).

We can break down the effects of it in the four directions.

✨ physical 
✨ mental
✨ emotional 
✨ spiritual

While keeping in mind that they are all interrelated.

Through Facilitated Breath Repatterning 
⬇️ we create a dynamic, appropriately adapting and efficient breath 
⬇️ and balance the nervous system function
⬇️ which then effects how we perceive ourselves and the world, how we think, feel and (re)act!

Swipe to see some of the main benefits of FBR.

barefoot in the coconut cove 

realizing where I’m standing 
how far I’ve walked
how many times I ran
and stumbled 
and fell
and ran again

at the moment I’ve stopped
to look around
taking in the beauty 
of just letting it be
of reflecting my path
of deep gratitude 

curious to see 
where it’s taking me

I have fully devoted myself to Breathwork the last I have fully devoted myself to Breathwork the last few months. And there is so much to say about this practice and I can’t wait to share it with you.

part 3 - this is a tough one as I have to break do part 3 - this is a tough one as I have to break down this rollercoaster ride into 2.200 letters. Just as every share here it's the tiniest snapshot of the complexity of what really happened. 

Day 1 of my Breathwork Practitioner Training and I could barley walk up the stairs with my crutches. As I entered the room tears were rushing down my cheeks. Three weeks prior I experienced a quite severe surf accident that ended up with a 3-hour surgery followed by weeks of lying in bed, flashbacks and many ups and downs of all sorts of physical, mental and emotional states. 

And here I was - surrounded by incredibly beautiful souls that chose the same path as I did. We went deep - in our individual processes and collective journey, deep into the neuro-physiological science and bodywork, into holding space for each other and deep into unlearning, remembering, releasing and integrating. 

HOW?

THROUGH BREATH

and through sitting in circle, continuous exploration & practice, through simultaneously being a student and a teacher - allowing the innate wisdom to unfold and through being seen, heard and held in our deepest discomforts, pain, releases but also in our expressions of power, strength, love, joy, pure contentment and deep rest. 

We might set an intention for our breath journeys but our body is wise and it will bring up what it thinks we are capable to work through. That's where we need to step out of the way and start to allow and trust.

My body mostly chose to work through my accident (that also brought up many past emotional and physical memories).

shaking, trembling, frozen
fear of death, tears of grief
sounds of sorrow
movements of protection and defense
floating in gratitude
filled with peace
part of something bigger
feeling supported and guided

THROUGH BREATH 

I was able to complete unfulfilled reflexes and fear/trauma response cycles, to write a new ending to past experiences, to give up habits, defense and coping mechanisms that weren't serving me anymore, to find new ways to perceive, relate, feel, think and act. 

I became more present within myself and with others, less triggered, more balanced and so freakin passionate about sharing this practice!
part 2 So here I was - in Bali. Still processing part 2

So here I was - in Bali. Still processing what just happened but I was ready to dive into the world of Breathwork. 

Breathwork is a generic term for many different practices and I will go deeper into that in another post. I hope you can stick with me for now…

Sweaty and nervous I arrived at @edwarddangerfield clinic room for my first breathwork session. I knew it’s not gonna be all roses. I was here to unpack some of the heavy stuff. 
My mind kicked in: Maybe people were right and that’s just the way I am and I have to accept and live with it. Maybe there is no "cure".
Luckily the door opened and I had no chance to change my mind and turn around - THANKS GOD because I left this session with so much gratitude for myself, for my courage to follow this calling, for never giving up on searching for answers, for my willingness to invest in my wellbeing and last but not least for people like @edwarddangerfield that share this powerful practice and hold space for other people in their processes.

That’s it. That was the missing piece I was searching for. I was so thirsty for more - more breathwork experiences, more knowledge, more embodied understanding of this practice and more people who also choose this path.

What followed was a one month Embodied Science of Breath Course with @breathworkbali. Twice a week we sat in circle. Same people. Same time. Same place. And yet always different - deep, joyful, painful and everything in between.

Things started to make sense - the things that were going on in my body, mind, breath, nervous system and why I haven’t experienced the transformations I wanted through mind-based practices and therapies (again: they have great value but also their limits). One aha-moment was followed by another. And to be honest we didn’t learn too many "new" things - we unlearned, we remembered what we have forgotten and we allowed the emergence of the innate wisdom that is in each and every one of us. But this unlearning,remembering and discovering was backed with scientific knowledge. 

It’s feakin powerful when science merges with embodied experiences.

Next post: My journey of becoming a Breathwork Facilitator and better human.
part 1 It was around Christmas time 2020. I had j part 1

It was around Christmas time 2020. I had just finished my five-month-long conversion of my van. Here it was a beautiful house on wheels. And? Well, I was definitely proud of the result and the lessons along the way... yet I also felt: it's not the time for it now. During these days of total confusion and "what the heck are you doing here and why can't you just just be happy with that?" breathwork somehow sneaked into my life. I think it was on social media and so every now and then I started to read about it and tried to find more information. And then it just happened - for some reason I landed on @edwarddangerfield instagram profil watching a conversation between him and @scienceoftouch . Finally some information that is not just woowoo and only based on experiences. No -something that was backed with scientific knowledge and that was the moment I knew THAT‘S IT.

short vulnerable insertion

I have been dealing with self-destructive behaviors, a very clouded perception of myself and the impact of past experiences for many years. 
I am naturally a very curious person that has nothing left untouched to find more meaning, deeper understanding and above all healing and release of these dark and shadowed parts of mine. And so I tried different kinds of talk therapy, hypnotherapy, kinesiology, coaching and so on. For me it really helped me to become more aware, to have more compassion for myself and to understand. Now my mind was making sense of everything BUT I was still feeling, acting, thinking and perceiving in ways that weren't serving me. 

WHY? 

This why was reason enough for me to sell the car and everything else, to pack my bag and to make my way to Indonesia in the middle of a pandemic. Some people thought I am totally crazy again and a restless soul... 
Well yes, I was restless the past years because I just knew: there is more and I don't have to accept and live with the heavy baggage on my shoulders and the pain for the rest of my life...

When my feet touched the land of this magical island I knew this is gonna be deep, uncomfortable but also freeing and joyful.

And so the deep dive began...

7 days into the new year and it feels like life ju 7 days into the new year and it feels like life just loaded a ton of lessons on me already. 

In all the chaos, darkness and pain that came up I realized that I have so much more capacity to just sit with that. No hiding, no running away, no suppressing. Just being okay with the discomfort for a while. 

And this realization itself lifted some of the heaviness and turned it into deep gratitude and an even stronger calling to devote myself to the power and wisdom of breath this year.

2 0 2 1 is slowly coming to an end and I’m stil 2 0 2 1  is slowly coming to an end
and I’m still trying to get my head around what just happened the past 365 days.

Selling my van that I’ve converted for 5 months and never actually used.

Leaving Germany and with that the comfort zone.

Moving to Bali with zero plans but tons of trust in the unknown.

Adapting to a new country, climate, culture that made me reflect on my previous lifestyle and values.

Learning how to surf. Knowing that this is a continuous journey with no end and my love for the ocean is expanding each time I step into the water.

Diving deep into breathwork and finding so much value, purpose and appreciation for this practice and community.

Going through physical and emotional ups and downs with the most loving and caring friends on my side I could have ever asked for. 

It’s been a W I L D  ride. I’m embracing every single loop, all ups and downs, the laughter, the tears, the lessons, the mistakes.

2 0 2 2  I’m excited for you and all the projects, visions and dreams that are going to unfold.

They say home is where the heart is. For most people, that consists of four walls and a welcome mat. But for me, it is more and more the ocean.
