Your Breath is Your Bridge to Emotional Awareness

Your understanding of how to create emotional safety is key to creating meaningful connections and a lasting love relationship.

Emotional safety is about feeling safe enough to be open and vulnerable with your prominent partner and establishing trust with him.

What is emotional safety while dating?

In other words, “emotional safety is feeling secure enough to truly express yourself with your significant other and show up as your most authentic self.”

Emotional safety is a two-way street. When you feel emotionally safe and reveal your true self, it opens the door for your partner to do the same.

And when both of you in a connection feel secure, it provides a safe environment where a deeper and more intimate relationship can grow into love.

Brené Brown defines connection “as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”

Why is the true connection important in dating?

“True connection is the gateway to a trusting, lasting and intimate love relationship because it arises from the space of inspiration that stems from a deep desire and curiosity rather than desperation.”

In a true connection, you feel emotionally safe such a way that

• you feel seen, heard, and understood.
• you feel valued and valuable.
• you can share boldly and express yourself freely.
• you can truly be yourself without the risk of judgment.
• you can show your weaknesses without being taken advantage of.

How do you understand that you feel emotionally secure?

“Your breath tells you the truth as being a bridge to your emotional awareness.”

Our breath not only keeps us alive but also it

• is the vital life force and essence of life,
• brings energy into our bodies and
• connects us with our minds and heart.

Your breath never lies. It always tells you where you are and how you’re feeling. When you pause and notice your breath, you know whether you’re anxious or calm, excited or quiet, or simply content.

My default breath used to be shallow, tense and mostly in my chest. Until I started practicing breathing, I found myself catching my breath or not breathing at all.

Many of you don’t know that I am also a yoga teacher for adults and children. Along with my yogic journey that started in 2012, I learned to breathe in a conscious, deep, and relaxed manner. It has been life-changing for me.

It was the beginning of my discovery that I was feeling so tensed, stressed and unsafe in my body. I was radiating the energy of fear with my shallow breathing in my chest and disconnected from my body and my emotional self.

How does your conscious breathing help you embody your presence in dating?

“When connecting in dating, knowing how to bring your energy into a calm and centered state is key to your emotional awareness and presence without suffering and with more ease and joy.”

That’s why it’s important to embody your conscious breathing into your presence in dating because it calms the parasympathetic nervous system and creates space for opening your heart and feelings to your partner, which is very attractive for a man.

Unfortunately, many single women are not aware of the fact that they are looking for a true connection while vibrating the energy of fear with a disconnected heart from their feelings with the expectation of landing the deal.

What is your energy stemming from your emotional safety while connecting to your prominent partner: inspiration or desperation? How do you cope with your emotional insecurity when dating?
