Crunch Make Me Cry

Howdy!!

Hope all is going well. It had been a while since I blog. But there are soo.... much going on in life that I forget that I need to "pause" and take a look at myself. Perhaps, some reflection of my life!! :)

It was sometime last week, I walked into "The Republic", a classic American bar & grill located at the prime Marina district in San Francisco. I was there with the meetup group, where Suzanna & Erin shared their thoughts on "Story Telling.... How To Market Yourself". I'd not only benefited from the 2 hours experience but I also bumped into Brianna & Vinny, 2 of my TNT team mates during Winter Season.

Everything in lifes happen for a reason, and there is something bigger that brought me to this event. In this event, I was introduced to Stephanie's "Breathwork" session at The Crunch, a crunchy & sporty gym outlet located at Union Street.

The next Saturday, I got myself a "FREE" pass and went for Stephanie's 45 mins breathwork session. I don't even know why I was there for!!

There....... I had a breakthrough!! A pretty amazing breakthrough, I would say!!

With only 2 steps breathing techniques for 45 mins, I was vibrating on the floor of the studio. The feeling of vibration and being electrocutes on my fingers, palms, arms and then my thighs. When I continued the breathing technique, I felt I breath even harder and tears started to flow down my cheeks... In less than few seconds, I was crying like a baby on the airplane.

No joke, it just came!! I don't even know why I'm crying!! Both my hands and legs were vibrating and I could totally feel them lifting off the floor.

But, why the vibrations? As I understand, the more I breathed, the more oxygens I took in. Therefore, the cells in my body started to spins and created the vibration effect.. think it's called "Energy"!!!!

But, why do I cry? :( ...... Until the last few minutes of the session, I realized, why I'm crying. :) I remembered during the session, I asked myself this question.

Why do I cry? And I responded to myself. I now know why I cried. Once I realized it, my tears kept pouring down my cheeck and I was sobbing!! :(

Then, I started asking myself the 2nd question. Does this matter to me 5 years or 10 years from now?

In that moment, I stopped crying, and my breathing regain it normalcy. I started to calm down.... It took me extra 10-15 mins before I opened my eyes and slowly walked out of the studio. I chatted with Stephanie and other breathworkers and we all shared our experiences. It was an amazing experience!!

I was more focussed and I can feel my mind clearer after the session.

Hhmmm.... isn't this amazing?!? But, what does this means to you

With no expectation, from a networking event, I met 2 friends, whom I had never met since our last training and to a totally unrelated, breathwork session.

Since, I have such a wonderful experience, I will re-visit Crunch Gym again this week. Who knows, what's the next "breakthrough" or "emotions" I'll have this very next time.

Perhaps, you should also give it a try. If you're curious of what breathwork is all about..... you can google it or if there's a Crunch near your place, you can check out if they have the same session. Get a FREE pass and visit www.crunch.com.

Who know's, this might be your next breakthrough!! :)

Have a splashing week!!
