The Gemini New Moon Is Here—What Will You Choose to Call In?


Gemini energy is fast-moving, curious, and full of possibilities. It’s the sign of the communicator, the thinker, the creative problem-solver—and during the New Moon in Gemini, you’re being invited to connect to your voice, your ideas, and the stories you’re ready to rewrite.


Whether you’ve been feeling stuck, scattered, or pulled in too many directions, this lunar reset is a powerful time to pause, reflect, and set intentions from a grounded place. Breathwork, journaling, and affirmations are my favorite tools for anchoring into this moment.


In this post, I’m sharing 33 Gemini New Moon affirmations to support you in calling in clarity, alignment, and your next inspired step.


Why Affirmations Matter During the New Moon

New Moons are like cosmic blank slates—inviting us to plant seeds that will grow over the next lunar cycle.


In Gemini, those seeds are often connected to:

  • Clear communication

  • Creative expression

  • New ideas, offerings, or projects

  • Curiosity and exploration

  • Shifting mindsets or beliefs

  • Playfulness and adaptability


Affirmations work with your subconscious to gently rewire the way you think, speak, and show up. Paired with your breath, they help regulate your nervous system and bring your desires into the present moment—so they don’t just live in your head, but in your body and energy field.

In my monthly New Moon Circles, we breathe, journal, and set intentions together. It's a sacred space to pause, reset, and reconnect to your truth.



Or explore how a private healing session can support you in integrating these shifts more deeply.


Until then—may you speak your truth, follow your curiosity, and trust the unfolding. The Gemini New Moon is a beautiful time to begin again.


With love and breath,

Ana

“Time heals all wounds,” my mom used to say.


But I watched her suffer in silence.


She couldn’t sleep through the night. Her thoughts never stopped. Tension wrapped around her body like armor. Passive-aggressive comments were the only safe way she could release what lived inside her.


As a child, I felt the contradiction. Her words offered hope. But her body told the truth.


Time wasn’t healing anything. It was just helping her survive it quietly.


This is what unprocessed trauma can look like. It gets buried, minimized, forgotten.

Until one day, the body begins to speak louder, especially under stress.


You don’t grow out of trauma. You grow into it.


Into patterns of anxiety, insomnia, control, or shutdown. And when it’s left unchecked, your nervous system loses its ability to adapt.


Healing isn’t about pretending to be okay. It’s about coming back to the body. Learning to feel—safely—so your system can finally choose something other than survival.


This isn’t theory for me. It’s personal. And now it’s the work I guide others through too.


In this blog, I’ll walk you through how breathwork supports emotional healing, why it's so effective in releasing trauma, and how you can begin using this practice to reconnect with your body and reclaim your peace.


Understanding Trauma in the Body

When we experience trauma—whether it’s a big event or a series of micro-stressors—our bodies store it. Especially when we don’t have the tools or support to process it in the moment.


The nervous system gets stuck in a loop of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. Even years after the event, our bodies may still respond as if the threat is happening now.


You might notice this as:

  • Chronic tension or pain

  • Racing thoughts

  • Emotional numbness

  • Hypervigilance or jumpiness

  • Difficulty sleeping or relaxing


This is not just in your head. It’s in your body. Which is why healing must happen in the body too.


Why Breathwork Helps Release Trauma

This is where healing trauma through breathwork becomes so powerful. Breathwork gives the body permission to feel again—in a way that’s intentional, contained, and safe.


Here’s how it works:

  • It activates the parasympathetic nervous system, signaling safety.

  • It oxygenates the body and clears stagnant energy.

  • It opens emotional channels for release and integration.


In a guided breathwork session, your breath becomes a vehicle for emotional healing. You’re not rehashing your trauma or reliving it mentally. You’re letting the body process what it never got to finish.


Tears may come. You might feel heat, tingles, or energy moving. These are all signs that the body is releasing what it’s been holding.


What Healing Trauma Through Breathwork Feels Like

No two sessions are ever the same. But what’s consistent is the space we create—space to breathe, feel, and let go.


Some of my clients describe it as:

  • A deep emotional release they didn’t know they needed

  • A sense of lightness and clarity after years of heaviness

  • A reconnection with their body and intuition

  • A quiet mind for the first time in ages


I’ve guided clients through grief, heartbreak, burnout, and the long tail of childhood trauma. Not because I have all the answers, but because I know what it’s like to carry pain in silence—and what a gift it is to finally lay it down.


My Approach to Healing Trauma With Breathwork

In our work together, I combine breathwork with nervous system regulation and intuitive coaching. This allows us to go deeper, while also staying grounded and safe.


You don’t have to revisit every detail of your story. You don’t have to push through discomfort. We move at the pace your body can hold.


Breath by breath, your system learns that it is safe to soften.


This creates the conditions for:

  • Emotional resilience

  • Greater self-trust

  • Inner peace and calm

  • More presence and clarity in your daily life


And most importantly, a shift from surviving to living.


What If You’ve Tried Other Healing Methods Before?

Maybe you’ve done therapy. Maybe you’ve journaled, read the books, or talked through it with a friend. Those are all beautiful and important parts of the journey.


But healing trauma through breathwork isn’t about analyzing. It’s about allowing. It’s about giving the body the voice it didn’t have at the time.


That’s what makes this work different.


It goes beneath the words. It gives you access to what lives below the surface. It helps you feel what you’re finally ready to release.


You Deserve to Feel Free

If you’re carrying trauma—whether it’s from a recent experience or something buried deep in the past—please know this: it’s not too late. You’re not broken. And healing is possible.


Even just one session can create a noticeable shift.


Even just one breath can begin to change your story.

If you often feel like your mind is racing, your chest is tight, or you’re carrying tension that won’t let go—know that you’re not alone. And also know: there’s a simple, accessible way to begin releasing that stress. Your breath.


In this post, I’ll walk you through three breathwork techniques to reduce stress that you can start using today. These aren’t complicated. They don’t require anything fancy. Just a few moments of intention and the willingness to pause.


These are the same techniques I use in my private sessions and virtual classes to help clients shift from overwhelmed to grounded. They’ve supported my own healing journey from high-functioning anxiety to feeling calm, clear, and empowered in my body and life.


Let’s breathe.


Why Breathwork Is So Effective for Stress

Breathwork is more than deep breathing. It’s the intentional use of your breath to influence your physical, emotional, and energetic state. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system—your body’s "rest and digest" mode—which helps reduce cortisol levels, ease tension, and create space for clarity.


In other words: breathwork tells your body you’re safe.


And when your body feels safe, your mind can stop spinning, your shoulders can drop, and you can reconnect to your present moment power.


3 Breathwork Techniques to Reduce Stress

Let’s dive into the three most effective breathwork techniques to reduce stress that you can do anytime, anywhere.


1. The Sighing Exhale (2-3 minutes)

This is the quickest way to create an instant shift in your nervous system.


How to do it:

  • Inhale through your nose for a count of four.

  • Hold at the top for a moment.

  • Exhale out of your mouth with a big audible sigh (really let it out!).

  • Repeat for 2–3 minutes.


Why it works: Sighing tells the body it’s safe to relax. This intentional exhale helps release pressure, resets your nervous system, and brings you back into your body. Use this technique when you’re in a tense meeting, stuck in traffic, or need to transition between tasks.


2. The 4-7-8 Breath (3-5 minutes)

This calming breath is excellent before bed, after a stressful conversation, or anytime your thoughts feel too loud.


How to do it:

  • Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds.

  • Hold your breath for 7 seconds.

  • Exhale slowly through your mouth for 8 seconds.

  • Repeat this cycle for 3 to 5 minutes.


Why it works: The extended exhale activates your parasympathetic nervous system, signaling your brain and body to slow down. It’s a gentle way to release tension and come back into a state of equilibrium.


3. The 2-Part Active Breath (10 minutes + rest)

This is the technique I use most often in my breathwork sessions. Click here to join an upcoming Breathwork Class from the comfort of your home.


It’s powerful, energizing, and deeply healing. This active form of breathing can help you de-stress, process stored memories and emotional blocks in the body, and experience improved self-awareness and mental clarity.


How to do it:

  • Inhale through your mouth into the belly. 

  • Exhale through the mouth. 

  • Continue this belly–exhale rhythm for 8 to 10 minutes. 

  • Return to a normal breath and rest for 5 minutes.


Why it works: This breath floods your body with oxygen, clears out emotional stagnation, and activates powerful energetic shifts. Many people experience tingling sensations, emotional releases, or clarity around something they didn’t even know they were holding.


If you’re new to this breath, start slowly and listen to your body. Lying down is best, and having music or a guided practice can enhance the experience.


Real Talk: Why We Hold Our Breath

Most of us don’t even realize how often we hold our breath or breathe shallowly throughout the day. We do it when we check emails, get a difficult text, or feel overwhelmed. Over time, this creates chronic tension, fatigue, and disconnection from our bodies.


That’s why daily breathwork is so powerful. It helps you:

  • Reconnect with your body and intuition

  • Release stress that’s stored in your nervous system

  • Create space for joy, clarity, and presence


You don’t need to wait until you burn out to pause and breathe.


How Breathwork Changed My Life

Before I found breathwork, I was constantly in go-mode. I was doing all the things—working in entertainment, trying to keep up, trying to prove myself. From the outside, I looked successful. But inside, I felt anxious, disconnected, and exhausted.


Then I found breathwork.


My first session was a revelation. My body shook, my hands cramped, and tears poured out of me. I had no idea how much I had been holding in until I finally let it go.


Now, this practice is at the center of everything I do—and everything I teach. Because when we breathe, we heal. We remember who we are beneath the pressure. We come home to ourselves.


Breathing Has a Direct Impact on How You Think and Feel

When you engage in intentional breathing, it...

  • Releases feel-good hormones and endorphins to improve your mood

  • Tells your mind you're okay so your body can relax and let go of stress and anxiety

  • Clears your head and allows you to establish a focused mindset

  • Opens up energy channels and lessens physical pain and tension

  • Gives you space to heal from grief and trauma


Even just five minutes of breathing can decrease physical and emotional stress.
