Heal Your Pain Through Breathwork—with Lauren Chelec Cafritz - EP60

Emotions that we don’t work through have a way of taking up residence in the body and causing physical pain. So, what can we do to process those repressed emotions? How might breathwork help us move that energy through the body, healing both our physical and emotional pain?

Lauren Chelec Cafritz is the internationally known breathwork teacher, speaker and author behind Experience Breath, a platform designed to help people achieve emotional mastery through the power of breath. Trained and certified in Integrative Breathwork, Transformational Breath and many other breathing modalities, Lauren facilitates breathwork for executive teams, nonprofits, government agencies, corporations, hospitals and schools. She is also the national representative for the International Breathwork Foundation and the author of Breath Love.

On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Lauren joins Emerald to share the personal experience with severe neck pain that led her to breathwork. She explains how our physical pain can be tied to repressed emotions, discussing how techniques like conscious connected breathing work to move energy through the body. Listen in for Lauren’s insight on leveraging side breath to initiate the creative process and learn the four strategies in her toolkit for navigating feelings of fear, anxiety or stuck-ness.
