This week, we begin differently — with a short, grounding breathwork practice to anchor you in the present moment, quiet the mental noise, and offer peace amidst worry.

In this episode, I offer a glimpse into one of the upcoming classes from my course "Overcoming Fear and Anxiety with Breathwork" — a 3-part on-demand series that will soon be available on www.byrebecca.net.

We explore what really happens inside the body and brain when we feel anxious — how past (even forgotten) memories impact our nervous system, and how breathwork can gently but powerfully reconnect us to our higher self. Through breath, we reclaim our voice, our power, and our life.

The breath is the gateway — and here, I begin to share why and how.

In this week’s episode, we explore those pivotal life moments that only make sense in hindsight—when, after years, we finally understand the lesson behind the pain. While emotions like hurt, fear, shame, and uncertainty often cloud our vision in the moment, time can reveal deeper meaning and purpose.

But what if we didn’t have to wait years to gain that clarity? Can we elevate our experience while we're still inside the storm? Together, we dive into this question and explore powerful, honest spiritual tools drawn from the teachings of Kabbalist Rav Yehuda Ashlag—guiding us toward a higher perspective and the possibility of transformation in real time.

In this week’s episode, we explore the deeply grounding and powerful energy of the month of Taurus. This is a time to connect with the inner strength and resilience that already lives within us. According to Kabbalist Rav Berg, challenges are not obstacles—they are spiritual opportunities. Just like we build physical muscle by pushing against resistance, we strengthen our consciousness and connection to our higher self by making effort in the face of life’s challenges.

This month, let’s reframe difficulty. When turbulence appears, lift your awareness above the storm like a plane rising above the clouds—because up there, the sun is always shining.

✨ Monthly Mantra:
“These are opportunities for me to push against, to make effort, grow stronger, and become my higher self.”
