The body remembers
I’m writing this from my bed in Bali as it’s nearly time to sleep here - but as promised, here’s an update on what I’ve been up to.
I’ve done some amazing breathwork classes while I’ve been out here, but the first one I want to share with you is 9D Breathwork. It was WILD (in the best way possible way). The session took place at The Istana in Uluwatu, and it was quite the experience.
My partner joined me for the first nine days of the trip and (brave man) agreed to come along to the 9D session. While he’s used to me talking about energy work and somatics, he hadn’t experienced much of it firsthand - so this was a bit of a risky move on my part (I did brief him first!).
To be clear: this is not “breathwork lite”.
I’d never done 9D before, but I had done my research and had a sense of what to expect. It’s a fully immersive sound-and-breath experience designed to reprogram the subconscious and support trauma release. It combines binaural beats, somatic breathwork, subliminal hypnosis, guided vocal work, and sound healing, all delivered through headphones and eye masks, guiding you into deep healing states.
Phones were handed in at the door, we each had our own mat, and after about 20 minutes of explanation, the session began.
At first, I struggled to fully drop in. My mind was busy wondering what on earth my partner was thinking. But eventually, I surrendered to the process. And it was... profound.
I went somewhere else entirely.
There was deep emotional release, full-body shaking, and a powerful sense of something moving through me. The shaking is the nervous system discharging what it no longer needs to hold. The first time I ever experienced a physical response like this was during a Spinal Energetics session – that feeling of energy finally being allowed to leave the body. Old stress, stored tension, unspoken emotion... when it moves, it’s really powerful.
There were visions, tears, and moments of absolute stillness.
When the session ended, I was half-expecting there to be an empty mat beside me, but Mr F was still there, looking completely stunned.
His words:
“I don’t know what I was expecting… but it wasn’t that.”
(There may have been a swear word or two in there, to be honest.)
It took three years, but Mr F had his first full-body, full-spirit initiation. Watching someone you love step into the emotional and energetic world for the first time is something I’ll never forget.
This experience was a powerful reminder of how much the body holds, and how deeply it longs to release when given the chance. This kind of work helps us reconnect to our authenticity, our true self. From that place, we can build meaningful lives and businesses rooted in purpose, not performance.
It helps us shed conditioning, outdated identity roles, and old stories and reconnect to our deeper purpose and inner guidance.
If you ever get the chance to try 9D Breathwork, go with an open heart and an open mind… and leave plenty of space for integration afterward.
Experiences like this remind me why I do the work I do - supporting people in clearing old stories, reconnecting with their purpose, and building aligned lives and businesses from the inside out.
