My debut single, Salem, is out! You can listen to or buy the song here.
Hi friend!
I always have this breathing exercise in my relaxation toolbox. It helps me to instantly relax both my upper body as well as my thoughts. As a singer, I learned this kind of breathing in order to have more support for my voice when singing. It’s especially helpful for those of us curled up in bed or the couch all day, as it helps expand and relax those breathing muscles.
So in today’s meditation we will do a breathing exercise that helps you to relax the upper body by expanding it first. Please be careful not to over-breathe. You can do this by making sure you exhale a bit more than you inhale and by following your body and not forcing the breath into it. Over-breathing can exacerbate neuropathic pain, and we don’t want that.

Listen to or purchase my debut single, Salem
Salem is a song for all those out there who have been disbelieved, disrespected and mistreated for being sick.
Salem is a metaphor for how women’s bodies have been neglected by medical science, how patients — including men, transmen and transwomen as well as non-binary people — suffering from diseases disproportionately affecting women, such as ME/CFS, Long Covid, fibromyalgia, MCAS, EDS, POTS, migraines, endometriosis, etc. were dismissed for being hysterical when in reality our bodies had become ill, and how people have died without recognition of the true cause.
