How does it feel to work within the whirlwind charm, grand promises, and then poof, gone like smoke chasing freedom. Classic centaur exit strategy. To me it comes in like ... boom... mythic goddess with a notebook and a flamethrower. New music calling with gasoline and lies.

Expressing emotional truth and channeling confrontation, release, and reclaiming your power, this is my nervous system naturally seeking integration. And that's where the call to pranayama comes in.

Breath as Alchemy starts as Pranayama isn't just breathwork, it's energetic purification. My subconscious knows that by controlling my breath, I reclaim control over the emotional chaos stirred up in my mind, heart and soul. 

Releasing Stored Emotion is the act of songwriting and confronting truth stirs energy in the body, especially in the chest, throat, and solar plexus (the power center). Pranayama helps move that energy so it doesn’t become stagnation or grief.

Balancing Fire energy. This lit a fire in my heart, but left me with the flames. Pranayama helps cool the fire or transmute it into focused creative life force (prana). Especially practices like:

Sheetali (cooling breath)

Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing for balance)

Kapalabhati (fire breath to reclaim power)

This is what's being called in tonight as I write the raw energy into verse.
