If someone told me, 6 or 7yrs ago, they were going to teach me how to breath I would have laughed. I had been breathing successfully for 47yrs, so how could someone teach me <em>HOW TO BREATH</em>!?

Yet I went on to experience 1:1 yoga and meditation with the A.M.A.Z.I.N.G Becs McBride who literally did teach me how to breath. What I discovered was that it wasn’t simply about learning how to breathe but it was a truly wonderful <em>experience</em> that is hugley helping those willing to try it.

Becs became more than my yoga and meditation teacher because she gave me a gift....

<h2>My fizzy brain</h2>

&nbsp;

My experience of yoga and meditation at that time was very limited so we arranged some private 1:1 sessions during which I wanted to learn how to calm my 'fizzy' brain.

For me business ideas come constantly and while I do love what I do, my brain literally FILLS up with ideas, my daily schedule, jobs to do, people to see, places to go etc etc. So I wanted some calm, peace and a way to be able to focus on what was important.

Becs taught me how to ‘focus on the breath’, where to breath into my body during meditation and how to breath into positions and poses during yoga poses. The incredible thing was the result of how all of this made me <em>feel </em>and also how long the effects lasted.

It was all so peaceful and undistracted and literally gave my brain TIME OUT!

<h2>Hoovering my head</h2>
&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Becs taught me how to feel calm and in control by using breath work as if she was running a hoover through my head. YES that exactly how is felt, like she <em>hoovered my head!</em>

When considering the meditation aspect, Becs taught me…
<ul>
 	<li>imagery</li>
 	<li>psychology</li>
 	<li>holistic</li>
 	<li>mind to muscle</li>
 	<li>mind and body connection</li>
 	<li>neuroscience</li>
 	<li>think yourself…(something)</li>
 	<li>mindset</li>
 	<li>cognitive</li>
 	<li>therapy</li>
 	<li>the power of the mind</li>
</ul>
..and it was MIND BLOWING!

&nbsp;
<h2>So what?</h2>

Evidence suggests we buy based on how we <em>feel. </em>

Considering potential clients, they too are very likely to invest based on how they <em>feel.</em> How can we make others feel? what skills can we utilise or gain? Would breathwork or meditation be a solution? If it works for me could it work for my clients? Could they be in need of head hoovering?

There are many in our industry writing about the mind and its neural connection for improving physical health. Lorimer Moseley and Dave Butler wrote the ‘Explain Pain’ from the perspective of neuroscience, describing pain as an input not an output. The Franklin Method teaches imagery for improving biomechanical set up from within.

So to having a deep connection with the self through breathwork and meditation increased my confidence and allow me to feel more in control and calm...ever tried hoovering YOUR head!?
