Birthing your desired reality may sound out of reach because some may feel everyone desires the same things. This is simply untrue. Everyone's ideas of luxuries are different. Some luxuries are wealth-related, and some are for peace of mind. I have clients who desire penthouses and some who desire campers in the forest. Both can be true. Perception is everything. I've come to understand the moment you lose sight that you hold the power to birth your desired reality, you may begin to believe everything is out of your control, that life is happening to you and not for you. Manifestation is such a buzzword right now, and it can be easy to misunderstand the term. For me, birthing your reality is better suited with a tangible practice.
When a woman prepares for birth, she is trained to practice Lamaze and other breathing techniques. In simple terms, Lamaze means "preparation for life by way of breathwork," but you don't have to be pregnant or identify as a woman to birth life. Consequently, you don't have to die to experience "Heaven." It is a mindset – an understanding of seeing life as both art – something that you create and an opportunity a constant series of decisions you get to make. You have the option to make decisions that align with your goals and help you make progress to come into contact with your desired life or take you further from where you want to be. The latter of the two isn't the worst-case scenario. It's not moving the needle either way and wondering, "What if?" This is what I refer to as our "world work."
I've been practicing world work, viewing the concepts as art forms. I've kept journals that tracked my progress and held me accountable for achieving success. I've witnessed and experienced miracles and magic happen in as short of a time as last year. These art forms are learned fundamental practices I am called to share in a container launching on October 1, 2024, called Breathwork for Birthing Your Desired Reality. It is a 13-week container for 8-determined individuals to shift their current paradigm to their desired reality. I am not guaranteeing instant wealth and overnight success but assuring that you will not be the same entering the container as you are upon completion.
Should you feel called to commit to the art forms of this world work, our emails are open to scheduling your discovery discussion to learn more and determine if I am the right guide for you. Should you desire to have A Preview Of The Arts, we invite you to join our global Google Meet session on 8/19/2024 at 12 PM and 5 PM CST. To join the video meeting, click here.

Specializing in the art of floral healing, Brittney saw the need to change the outlook of floristry by connecting the curation of flowers and designing spaces back to our emotional and mental well-being. Through experiences of the brand, Contained Stems focuses on creating safe oases where clients feel inspired and guided to creation, expression, connection, and a sense of community. As a thought leader, she believes inspiration can be sourced from any where and hosts containers to honor our life-force and creative writing, along with a Floral Healing Master course on mindful design and floral connection to our well-being.
