Hello Beloveds,

Welcome yourself home once again.

I'm Fern Olivia,

Your host of the Embodied Voice Breathwork Podcast,

Your go-to source to find your way back home in confidence with your voice and in alignment with your spirit.

I am so excited about today's practice together.

We are going to free ourselves beyond any limitations so we can truly fly in a space that feels liberating,

Expansive,

And a place that brings you so much joy and gratitude for your life.

So if you're ready,

Let's begin.

Take a moment to find a comfortable space,

Whether you are seated or laying down,

And begin to notice your breath.

Begin to feel the rise of your chest and your belly on the inhalation,

And soften your belly on the exhalation.

Soften your chest.

Feel the earth rising up to meet you as you inhale,

And surrender into the support of the earth on your exhale.

Let's continue breathing together just like this as you listen to my guidance about this practice today.

If you are new to the Embodied Voice Breathwork method,

Then please remember to check out our first episode for the detailed instructions and guide to this powerful,

Very powerful,

Expansive practice.

There will be breath holds,

And I remind you that you are your own teacher and your own guru and your own master.

So if you can hold the breath longer than my guidance,

Or if you need to take a breath quicker,

That's totally fine.

Be with where you are at today,

And then come back to the practice and follow my cues for the inhale and exhale.

You do not need to be perfect.

Ask yourself,

Instead,

How can I be more free?

And invite this practice in to free you,

To bring more space into your heart and into your body and into your soul.

Once we get into the practice,

I invite you to let yourself be completely guided and surrender into this work.

Surrender your voice and really go beyond where you thought it could be possible.

So now let's begin.

Keep those deep breaths in through your nose,

And let's exhale out through the mouth.

In through your nose,

Out through your mouth,

And keep going with me here on your own rhythm.

You may follow mine or to the beat of your own soul.

Good.

Now let's speed this movement up as we move into our first round.

The movement will be a faster inhale and exhale.

Same nose and mouth.

Beautiful.

Keep going here.

Beautiful.

We are coming to our first breath hold,

So take a deep breath in with me here.

Inhale,

Sip in a little more through your nose.

A little more.

A little more.

Hold for a moment.

Feel yourself full and ripe and ready.

Exhale,

Free yourself.

Go all the way empty and hold empty.

And feel yourself melting,

Melting into the earth,

Letting go of whatever it is before that held you back from freedom.

Inhale a full deep breath in.

Fill up your body with lightness,

Clarity,

Expansiveness.

Inhale a little bit more and hold.

And feel yourself flying,

Flying above this world,

Feeling completely safe.

Be here to be free.

Beautiful.

Exhale all the breath out completely.

Let it all go.

Surrender,

Surrender more.

Surrender more.

And now inhale through your nose.

Exhale mouth.

Inhale mouth.

Exhale nose.

Inhale nose.

Exhale.

Exhale nose.

Inhale nose.

Exhale mouth.

Inhale mouth.

Sip in a little more.

A little more.

A little more.

And hold.

And feel yourself fly once again.

Allow yourself to really spread your wings.

See,

Sense or feel your wings getting lighter.

Ribbons of colors surround you.

Radiant,

Radiant sunshine shining in all directions and you are free.

And you can fly wherever your wings desire to go.

And what if you allowed yourself to fly with your intuition and be guided only by what you felt inside your heart.

Exhale all your breath out.

Let it all go.

And just breathe naturally for a moment as you integrate that feeling of freedom in you.

Beautiful.

And notice what came up.

Okay,

Let's begin round two.

Inhale through your nose.

Exhale mouth.

Keep a steady pace here.

Do this for your freedom.

Keep going.

Remember your desire.

Whatever freedom means to you,

I am free.

Repeat that to yourself as you breathe here.

To the beat of your heart.

Take a deep breath in with me when you're ready.

Inhale fully into your chest.

Opening through your lungs.

Fully embrace this breath.

Move it up to the crown of your head and hold for a moment.

Exhale all the breath out.

Let it go.

Let it go.

Let it go.

Let it go.

Feel your wings releasing any tension,

Any fear from flying and hold empty.

And let yourself be held by the earth for a moment.

Give in all the nourishment you need to be able to spread your wings and fly.

And keep holding that breath out.

Letting your body soften,

Surrender,

Release tension from your shoulders,

From your lips.

Inhale a full breath in.

Inhale more.

Inhale more.

Inhale more and hold.

Feel yourself flying far beyond where you've flown before.

See the radiant rainbow colors of sparkling light guiding your way.

Feel what it feels inside of your body right now.

To know that faith in freedom,

Faith in going into the unknown is the most liberating feeling.

This freedom every soul can be.

Exhale all that breath out.

Let it go.

Let it go.

Let it go.

All the resistance to freedom.

All the uncertainty.

All the mystery that sometimes feels a little frightening.

Let it go.

Let it go.

Hold empty.

And again,

Feel yourself connecting to the safety of coming home to yourself.

Coming home to your heartbeat.

Listen to your heartbeat as you hold your breath empty.

What do you hear?

What is this wisdom speaking to you?

What is this guidance?

And be okay with any resistance.

Be okay with all of it.

Accept all of it.

Inhale love into your entire body.

Loving your freedom as it is right now and loving how expansive it can be.

And understanding as you inhale a little bit more into the crown of your head that you are exactly where you need to be.

Full breath out.

Exhale all that air out.

Let go of tension.

Let go of resistance.

Let go of expectation of how or when you'll know that you're free.

Let it all go.

Let it all go.

Maybe even give your body a little shake with your fingers if you feel twitching anything out.

Integrate that here with me for a moment.

Breathing naturally at your own rhythm and simply noticing what may have come up for you right there.

Freedom can be such a simple notion of,

Of course I want to be free.

Of course I want to let love in and feel that love is freedom.

And that if I open myself fully to receive love and fully to give love that yes then I will be free.

However the human mind and the human ego often gets stuck in what we have been told or seen or felt before.

And so sometimes freedom even from our work,

Freedom from old narratives,

Old ways of living may be a little challenging for us to rise and fly so freely,

So easily.

It may take some time to unravel those stories and fears and what ifs.

So my loves be gentle with yourself here as you are remembering freedom.

It may be a little challenging for you to find that freedom.

It may take time and you may find definitions of freedom change during your life from day to day,

Moment to moment.

Allow that,

Allow all of that.

Allow it all.

Embrace it all.

This is a journey and I am here with you.

I am here with you.

Discovering how that defines me and how that liberates me.

I welcome you to join me for one more round of this breath work before we open our voices together to sing freedom.

So let's rise together in this knowing that we are so capable to live the way we truly desire.

Free,

Free.

Repeat this mantra as you breathe with me here.

Inhale nose,

Exhale mouth.

Keep going.

Keep this rhythm strong as you are marching or skipping or dancing to your freedom.

Visualize yourself as you breathe here declaring to everyone around you,

I am free.

I am free.

Keep going.

We are coming up to our final breath hold.

So let's really go in deep to find this freedom and any resistance to it.

When you're ready,

Take a full breath in.

A little bit more,

A little bit more,

A little bit more.

Hold for a moment and give yourself permission to go deep inside now.

Exhale everything out.

Exhale,

Exhale,

Exhale.

Exhale more.

Stay empty.

Now as you stay empty,

Ask your higher self,

Is there anything inside of me that is scared to truly be free?

In love,

In my passions,

In exploring the world?

And then ask your higher self,

How can I release this fear or this resistance that I feel?

And is it even mine to carry?

And listen,

Listen.

Keep holding that breath.

Listen more.

Travel inside that sound.

And now inhale,

Inhale,

Inhale.

Full breath in.

A little bit more,

A little more.

And hold the breath.

Hold.

And ask your wings to travel you somewhere magical where you can experience the freedom on the other side of that resistance.

On the other side of closing yourself off to love or magic or passion.

Where do your wings take you?

Ask them to show you what is beyond the doors of resistance and fear.

Declare to yourself as you keep your breath held full,

I am free,

I am free,

I am free.

Say it with your heart as you hold your breath a little longer.

Ask your wings to show you where you can go when you truly allow yourself to fly.

And keep holding that breath a little bit longer.

As you relax your shoulders,

Let your wings be light.

Surround yourself in crystalline waves of light as you fly above this world,

Beyond the beyond of the mind.

And now let it all go.

Take a deep,

Deep,

Deep sigh.

As you exhale,

Keep inhaling deep breaths in through your nose and exhale.

Sigh it all out,

Sigh it all out.

Let it go.

And now let's begin to invite in a song with the ahs.

And your ahs can be in any pitch,

Any length.

Start to play around with it with me.

I invite you to find pleasure and curiosity through your voice here.

Singing and add in some ohs and oohs.

Feeling how this brings even more freedom into your body,

Into your soul.

As you stretch beyond your edge where your voice can take you.

I know that freedom often feels like jumping,

Leaping,

Wildly with uncertainty into the unknown.

I know how it feels to want to give and receive love with an open heart.

I know that sometimes it's challenging even though our mind wants to get there.

There's something,

There's something there that's a voice inside.

A voice inside asking you,

Please,

Please hear me.

It's okay to feel scared.

Remind yourself,

I love you and I will liberate you.

This voice is your soul's calling for freedom.

Your soul's yearning to be free,

Liberated,

Expressed in a way that vibrates your whole body into ecstasy.

Please remember why you came and sing this song and sing with courage and sing.

Everyone can hear you because we are listening and we are celebrating with you.

This is not a time to be afraid.

The message that you carry.

This is a time to be strong and to rejoice in the way that your message will be carried.

We are singing with you.

Remember inside out.
