Heru talks Breathing Black Love at WOW Gallery
#TheDayWithTrae - Trae Holiday sat down with Heru of Breathing Black Love at WOW Gallery, discussing the inspiration behind the series. Heru explained that the series focuses on "reclaiming the ancestral breath" by relearning how to breathe correctly to resolve health and emotional issues and integrate five essential heart qualities: trust, openness, love, gratitude, and respect for all. These concepts are part of the Ren-Xun system of Qigong (also spelled Chi-Gong).
Heru shared that his personal healing journey from pain, sadness, and frustration led him to ancient, scientifically sound techniques like Buteyko breathing, Ren-Xun Qigong, and the Aset meditation system. He integrates these practices into a 15-week series to bring real change to the community. The WOW Gallery partnership provides an accessible platform for this work, offering it on a donation basis with both in-person and online hybrid sessions.
In the upcoming eighth week, the focus will be on "love," exploring how to remove resistance to self-love and accepting love. Sessions include moving Qigong, breath work, and deep meditation practices, leading to breakthroughs for participants dealing with various challenges. Heru emphasizes that healing is a shared responsibility, stating, "If we don't choose to heal, we're doing ourselves a disservice. We're doing our families a disservice. We're doing our communities a disservice. The world needs healing. We have to do some work."
