A recent study stated that anxiety is the most common mental health disorder affecting nearly one third of both adolescents and adults according to the US National Institute of Mental Health. Anxiety, depression, insomnia, overwhelming emotions and moods are all symptoms of too much stress.
What we also have seen is children, teens and young adults show incredible resiliency. Many young people are using self-regulation and tools now available. There are many supportive methods and techniques, and it is clear that the younger generations know they need to take care of their mental health and general wellness. We want Take a Breath for Change to be one of those supportive tools they count on.
Feel Good Now
We know there is, and will be; suffering, stress and strain in our lives. It is inevitable, and yet, we cannot arrange the world in such a way we will not suffer. This is very challenging, we need to find ways to deal with what we are experiencing. In particular, we need a mind/stress break. There is too much information, influence and stimulation out there in our multi-tasking world. This is a program to take steps back to balance and regain some control. This program gives the tools of awareness and perspective. To find simple moments, to perhaps take a breath, relax, do nothing. Ultimately, to rest, recover and restore the natural mental/physical/emotional health that is inherently ours.

How To Get Started
Start simply, and easily- Go through the 5 Days of BRAVE. You will learn and experience something new. You might choose to fill out an assessment, or even work/be supported by someone else. That is enough, to begin to breathe more, slow down, or change your focus.
Then there are recordings for; Conditions, Physical Issues, Specific Situations, and more- Here is where the practice can begin to serve you more specifically, with content related to areas in your life that are challenging you. That might be a condition or illness, or mental/emotional suffering, or perhaps the content can support a current specific issue.
Longer/Deeper release- In these sections of content, you will find much longer recordings, 20-30 minutes, even up to 40 minutes. These longer recordings can be used in a time and environment which allows you to deeply benefit from the content on the recording, by changing brainwave states, and releasing chronic layers of tension.
Library Includes:
Simple, short 3-5 minute orientation audio and video
3, 5, 10, 15 minute and longer practices
Unique and comprehensive Content Library. With regular updates and additions to content.
Practices for healing and rejuvenation, emotional balance, deep sleep, systematic release in to gravity, grounding body and breath awareness, mental clarity, and more.
You will eventually find your 'favorites'. Perhaps some short and sweet ones you can use in a busy day for a break, or longer one you enjoy regularly. Or a specific recording which you use to begin to change your conditioned response to an injury, illness or even a mental pattern or belief.
