BREATHING WITH ORISHA

3:30 PM ET

oludare bernard (he/him) @kiirewellness

breathing with orisha is the breathwork of the ancestors, a reclamation of wellness defined by the survival mechanisms, spiritual technologies and holistic life philosophy of my african ancestry. 

breathing with orisha embodies the matriarchal blessing  and principle of eemi- the breath which is a physical representation of emi- the soul or life force energy which gives birth to all movement, awareness and consciousness in the universe. 

so as we inhale and exhale our shared air- air that has memory, spirit and consciousness and it moves our blood, asé and body which also has memory- we awaken more than physical fitness- we awaken mental spiritual, emotional and ultimately intergenerational wellness- healing layers upon layers, generations upon generations of physical spiritual and emotional pain little by little.

be empowered by the breath of the ancestors. be empowered by breathing with orisha.
