What Is This Event?
Breathe Into Your Rainbow weaves together:
🌬️ Rainbow Mindful Breathwork — a unique breathwork practice using the colours of the Pride flag to regulate your nervous system, calm anxiety, and restore your sense of self. Each colour of the rainbow corresponds to a breath phase and a chakra energy centre — breathing in warmth and power, resting in the green of the heart, breathing out truth and peace.
🌿 Japanese Usui Reiki Techniques — Reiki is a Japanese healing tradition founded by Mikao Usui, based on the principle that universal life force energy (ki) flows through all living beings. When this energy flows freely, we feel grounded, connected, and at peace.
The Five Usui Reiki Precepts — just for today, anger not, worry not, be grateful, work hard, be kind to everything — are shared as a mindfulness practice for daily self-care.
🧘 Guided Body Scan Meditation — a gentle, trauma-informed somatic practice that invites you to reconnect with your body with curiosity and kindness. For those of us who have spent time feeling unsafe or unseen in our bodies, this practice is an act of profound self-compassion.
✨ Golden Light Reiki Visualisation — a full guided Reiki healing journey through the seven chakra energy centres, from root to crown. You will be invited to draw warm, unconditional golden light through your whole being — releasing what no longer serves you and restoring your sense of wholeness.
📝 Reflective Journalling — gentle, affirming prompts designed specifically for LGBTQIA+ experience, giving you space to process, reflect, and celebrate who you are.
🌈 Community Healing Circle — because healing is more powerful when we do it together.
Every participant receives a beautifully designed meditation PDF. booklet — yours to keep and return to whenever you need it.
