For example, if I have a serious problem that I can’t resolve, I ‘take it to the
breath’; I lie down and practice conscious connected breathing. Invariably my
understanding changes. I access an intelligence that is not available in my
normal distracted daily life. The issue becomes separate from the feelings it
creates, and I am able to examine it with a new sense of clarity.
How exciting it is to me that we can access more brain food by simply choosing
to! If you were given the chance to nourish your brain cells more, wouldn't you
wish to see what happens? Think of all the supplements we take, the exercise
systems, the myriad of ways we seek to achieve growth. Now think of what’s
lying right under your nose, costs nothing, and is your greatest renewable
resource!

Conscious breathing is the greatest gift we never truly received.
As a result of studying different forms of breathwork, and after many years of
meditation, I developed The Alchemy of Breath.
The purpose of AOB is to introduce practical techniques with conscious
breathing that are simple. This can also be done alone at home.
We combine a specific meditation practice with the connected breath and this
permits us access to a different realm, creating more choice-points, and
perceiving with an enlarged sensitivity. So, like an artist who discovers new
colors, we are able to approach life with more possibilities.

The results can be miraculous.
Some of these include release of trauma from abuse or accident, resolution of
addictions, and renewed love and spice in long term relationships - in just one
session!
I have brought the practice into boardrooms before
potentially hostile negotiations and seen meetings
conducted with ease, grace and care as a result.

What a great way to vision as a team!
I have seen an injury that should have broken bones in
four fingers repair in less than five minutes - no
bruise, no stiffness and little pain after the hand was
caught in a closed car door - up to the second knuckle!
