9. The transformative power of breath and how to read people with Ashira Lavine
Description
In this episode of Ampersand, Ashira Lavine and I discuss her incredible journey from special agent criminal investigator to intuitive healer capable of reading peoples’ physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies.
Over 1.5 hours, we chat about:
- the wounds from the end of her career as a special agent criminal investigator that catalyzed her healing journey
- how she healed from chronic illnesses and pain
- the importance of freeing ourselves from the ties that bind
- safety and how safe spaces and people promote self-healing
- client stories of deep transformation and healing
- the power and importance of daily practice
- some of Ashira’s practices
- breathwork practices (ie: conscious connected breathing, heart-brain coherence, etc)
- how Ashira leveraged her intuition in law enforcement and as a semi-pro poker player
- how anyone can practice reading people’s energies, body language, and facial expressions
This conversation reminded me of the power of simple practices to cultivate self-love, neutral observation, and a multi-layered awareness of ourselves and others. Pull out a pen and paper because this episode is full of practical nuggets that you can apply to your life immediately.
From my heart and soul to yours,

About Ashira:
Ashira Lavine reads people for a living and has been for more than 20 years. Although she currently reads people as an intuitive healer, previous roles include reading people as a special agent criminal investigator and deputy director for the federal government, a world champion poker player, an undefeated competitive martial arts fighter, a yoga and meditation teacher, energy breath worker, trauma resolution breath worker, and massage therapist.
She reads body language, like expressions of the face, verbal and written language, and voice. Some might say she reads minds because of her ability to identify thoughts and thinking patterns, being able to predict where someone has been, the likelihood of where someone is going, and what's likely to happen, and the physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies. Her ability to have both broad and specific insight into the mind and body as well as knowledge of transformational practices allows her to support people, making profound change and their lives, bodies, and health.
