And as creative beings, this fear can hinder your creativity. In this one-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to build lung capacity to strengthen your respiratory system, use your breath to overcome fear and kick start your creativity through journaling.&#x27;Breath meditations encourage mindfulness and being present in the here and now, helping us to release the preoccupations that induce fear.
