WE BREATHE EVERY DAY. BUT HOW OFTEN DO WE NOTICE HOW WE BREATHE? 🌿
My journey with conscious breathing began around 20 years ago with a book called “Breathing Techniques”. It continued through yoga and, during the pandemic, daily Wim Hof breathing exercises followed by cold showers. For almost two years, this was my powerful ritual of connection with myself.
Working as a recovery nurse deepened my curiosity. I often noticed shallow, rapid or unsettled breathing in patients. I also saw how a calm presence and gentle breathing guidance could help some of them feel safer when waking from anaesthesia with intense anxiety.
Now, after four days of learning and practising the Buteyko method, I am looking at my own breath with fresh awareness. Even after years of practice, I discovered habits worth changing — including unconscious mouth breathing at rest.
This method has also been shared worldwide by Irish breathing educator and author Patrick McKeown, whose work highlights the importance of our everyday breathing habits.
For me, this course is another step towards understanding how gentle breathing practices can support calm, ease stress and bring us closer to our bodies. I look forward to sharing this knowledge with my patients and clients, including alongside Bowen therapy.
A heartfelt thank you to my teacher, Anna Reszka, for a wonderful course, your guidance and inspiration. 🤍
I leave with gratitude and a reminder: caring for ourselves can begin with noticing something as simple as our next breath. 🌿
