Your heart and your nervous system are wired together.

The vagus nerve is the longest nerve of your rest-and-repair system. It runs from the brainstem down through the throat, heart, lungs, and gut, and it carries the signal that tells your body the danger has passed. Heart rate slows, breath deepens, and the bracing lets go. 

Grief, anxiety, and stress that sits too long keep that signal faint. Your body stays braced for a threat that isn’t coming. Slow breathing is one of the most direct ways to strengthen it again, so your body remembers how to stand down. Researchers track this as vagal tone, and higher vagal tone tends to come with steadier moods, better recovery, and a body that bounces back from stress more quickly.

How it works

For the heart that’s been carrying too much.

This is for anyone moving through grief, a hard season, or stress that won’t let up. Shallow sleep, a racing mind, a chest that feels tight even when nothing is wrong. You don’t need to know a thing about the nervous system to begin.

What is emotional wellness at Temecula Wellness Studio?

It's small-group work for the weight you've been carrying, led by Joe Clarke, a breathwork and meditation coach and author. Joe uses breathwork, meditation, and heart-centered practices to help people move through grief, anxiety, and hard seasons.

Classes meet at the studio in Temecula and stay small, so there's room to be yourself.

What is breathwork, and how does it help?

Breathwork is changing the pace and pattern of your breathing on purpose. Your breath is one of the few direct ways you can tell your nervous system it's safe to settle.

In a Stanford study of 111 adults, five minutes of controlled breathing a day for a month lowered anxiety and improved mood, with bigger gains in positive mood than mindfulness meditation alone.

What happens in the grief group?

Gracefully Healing Grief is a 90-minute session for up to 4 people. Joe guides you through breathwork and reflection to honor your grief and say what's been left unsaid, out loud, in writing, or within.

Bring a pen and paper, and a memento if you'd like.

Do I have to share in front of the group?

No. You share only what you want to. Many people stay quiet and do the work on their own, and that's welcome.

I've never done breathwork. Is that okay?

Yes. No experience is needed, and Joe guides every step. Some people feel tingling in their hands, a little lightheaded, or emotional during breathwork. That's normal, and you can slow your breathing and rest anytime.

Wear something comfortable you can sit or lie down in.

Who should check with their doctor before breathwork?

Check with your doctor first if you're pregnant, have a heart condition or high blood pressure, asthma or another breathing condition, epilepsy or a seizure disorder, glaucoma, a recent surgery, or a history of aneurysm.

Unsure whether this applies to you? Book a free phone consult and we'll talk it through.

Is this a replacement for therapy?

No. Joe's groups are a supportive practice that works alongside care, not in place of counseling or therapy.

If you're struggling with your mental health, please reach out to a licensed professional too.

How much are classes, and how do I book?

Gracefully Healing Grief is $65 for 90 minutes, with up to 4 people. Heart-Centered Healing, Breathwork for Energy, Focus, and Serenity, and Meditation for Inner Harmony are each $40 for 60 minutes, with up to 8 people.
