How long are the meditations?

Each one is 7-12 minutes. Short enough to fit into your day, long enough to create real shifts.

Do I need meditation experience?

Nope. This is designed for anyone—whether you've meditated for years or never at all.

What if I miss a day?

You get lifetime access, so you can move through at your own pace. The "10 days" is a suggested timeline, not a rule.

Is this just positive thinking?

Absolutely not. This is about learning to stay with what's real—not bypassing or pretending you're fine. We regulate the nervous system, process emotion somatically, and expand capacity. It's grounded in how the body actually works.

What kind of breathwork is this?

A mix of techniques: conscious connected breathing (CCB), freedive-inspired breath patterns, and nervous system regulation exercises. Everything is guided—you don't need to know anything beforehand.

Can I do this if I'm going through a breakup / grief / major life transition?

Yes. That's exactly who this is for. It's designed to support you through emotional pain, loss, and deep change—without rushing you through it.

What if I don't feel better after 10 days?

This isn't a "feel better fast" quick fix. It's a foundational skill-building journey. Some people feel shifts immediately. Others need to cycle through a few times. Either way, you're learning how to be with yourself—and that's the real transformation.

The 10 Day Journey

I created this series because most "healing" content either:

Tells you to think positive and move on (bypassing)
Keeps you stuck analyzing your pain forever (ruminating)

This does neither.

Instead, it teaches you how to regulate, feel, and move energy.

The Timelessness of Now → slowing down, removing urgency

The Path That’s Uniquely Yours → accepting change

Phase 1:
Regulate & Arrive

The Sacred Solitude → learning self-witnessing
Beauty is Coming → reintroducing hope
Raw and Real → self-worth during pain

Phase 2: Feel & Witness

Love Multiplied → trust in life + love returning
The Freedom to Fall → honoring the “in-between”
The Rise → emerging from depth

Phase 3: Integrate & Expand

Your Ripple Effect → turning pain into purpose
Rooted Home → integration + identity shift

Embody & Become

Who's Guiding You

I'm Lauren – a breathwork facilitator, dive-master, freediving-trained practitioner, and a very firm believer that the body is extremely intelligent — never broken.

Freediving taught me how to stay calm under pressure — how to be with intensity in the body without reacting to it. And that’s the foundation of this work.

Because when you change your relationship to the sensation of overwhelm — everything begins to shift. Here's how we do it:

✨ Breathwork — Conscious connected breathing, freedive-inspired techniques, nervous system regulation
✨ Somatic Awareness — Feeling and tracking sensations in your body so emotion can actually move
✨ Guided Visualization — Meeting your future self, expanding perspective, building safety
✨ Consciousness Work — Shifting how you relate to pain so it becomes transformation, not torture

This is Aqua Vita Breathwork in audio form. The same principles I use in live sessions—but designed so you can access them any time, anywhere.
