Connection to Presence

Learn to stay in the present moment, no matter what that moment contains,
with compassion, curiosity, awareness, & insight.

In a world filled with increasing possibilities for distraction,
we can lose connection to our inner world of
emotion, wisdom, intuition, groundedness,
and even to our core values.
We can forget that our most important relationship is with ourselves,
and that we need to nurture this relationship in order to really achieve the kind of life that we want.

In my coaching practice, I support my clients to:

  • find meditation, breath, & mindfulness practices that work for them

  • learn how to develop a compassionate self-inquiry practice, so that they have tools to face the emotions, thoughts, & behaviours that we all experience as human beings

  • be able to befriend themselves, no matter the situation, so that they never feel unsupported

Breathwork as the Entry Point to Meditation
Breathwork as the Entry Point to Meditation

Breathwork has been shown to be one of the most effective methods for bringing the body out of the stressed ‘fight or flight’ state and into the rejuvenating ‘rest & digest’ state. It also deepens our body awareness as it strengthens the entire cardiovascular system.

With these points in mind, it’s easy to see how breathwork can be an excellent entry point into meditation, as well as a fantastic meditation substitute.

In this post, I share simple & effective breathwork techniques that can immediately provide all of the above benefits.

Nose Breathing for Stress Relief
Nose Breathing for Stress Relief

Nose breathing lets us breathe slower, allowing us to access our body’s natural destressing system. We can also take in more oxygen, which reduces inflammation and improves all of our body’s internal systems. These are no small things, in a time when we can be stressed & fatigued from a challenging year.
