The Galaxy Within

Last night as everyone arrived for Thursday Night Breathwork, I reflected on how to open the session. I used to heavily over-plan in life — but breathwork has taught me the power of trusting the moment. So now, I simply jot down a few notes from what the day brings, then let the space speak.

Yesterday’s insight... the galaxy within us all.
🔹Yet, how much of our day is spent outward.
🔹Other people’s priorities, deadlines, tasks, emails, meetings, cleaning — all external.
🔹And yet, inside each of us is a vast galaxy. This inner world sets the tone for how we meet the outer world.

When we’re still, we can turn toward it.
🔹When we breathe, we energise it — and in doing so, begin to touch the pockets of pain, shadow, and unprocessed emotion we all carry.
🔹I propose our life’s work may be as simple as process these pockets.

Naturally, we resist. Sometimes consciously, mostly not.
🔹That’s what the thoughts are. The restlessness. The mind-wrestle. The emotion.
🔹Not wrong. Not bad. Just the body showing us what’s there.

In breath, we learn to trust.
🔹To rest.
🔹To return to the cycle and let it carry us.
🔹Beyond showing up, breathing s all we need to do.
