In this transformative episode, Michael Wood shares his masterful technique of using “just one conscious breath” to shift one’s energy from reactive to responsive. He discusses how conscious breathing can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and presence and advocates for integrating simple breath awareness practices into everyday life.  

He takes us on a journey through his past experiences working with nonverbal autistic children and his background in special education that informed his current teachings. 

We learn about his adventures leading meditation retreats in Ireland and his recent five-week pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago in Spain. His commitment to the practice of mindful walking and conscious breathing are the cornerstones of which he incorporates into these retreats. 

His book Just One Conscious Breath: The Profoundly Simple Practice That Moves You from Reaction to Response is out now.
