In this episode of Finding Hope After Loss, Jon Paul Crimi joins us to discuss breathwork, emotional healing, grief, and the powerful connection between the mind and body. Jon shares how discovering circular breathing transformed his own life and led him to help others release emotions, process trauma, and reconnect with themselves in ways traditional mindset work often cannot reach.
We explore how grief, infertility, stress, and unresolved emotional experiences can become stored in the body and nervous system, and how breathwork may help create space for healing. Jon also discusses generational trauma, emotional release, and why many people discover that the work they thought they had already done mentally still exists within the body.
Throughout the conversation, we talk about how breathwork can support those navigating infertility and loss, the importance of feeling emotions rather than suppressing them, and why healing often requires giving ourselves permission to experience what we have been holding inside.
This episode is for anyone navigating grief, infertility, pregnancy loss, emotional overwhelm, trauma, or looking for new ways to support their healing journey.
