Description

Do you ever think about your breath or breathing?  Do you notice when it quickens or slows?

This week's episode is a little different as we share three breathing techniques kindly prepared for us by Gavin Andrews, MD of HeartMath UK. Gavin was a guest a couple of weeks ago, episode #38. There is a short bit for me first on my own awareness of breath and then I briefly introduce the three techniques. But Gavin provides an intro to each during the recording also. 

The three techniques in this episode are: 

1. Heart Focused Breathing - create coherence or balance. It can help shift from strongly negative or unpleasant, stressful emotions into more of a neutral emotional space.


2. Quick Coherence - useful technique to use before, during and after challenging or stressful events. 


3. Freeze Frame - a technique that proactively use the state of coherence to engage with a problem or a situation to solve it by opening up rather than narrowing our perspective.

"The breath is a door. It’s where you and I and everyone else began. 

It’s where all life begins. Without the breath, what is there?"
