In episode 8, U.S. free diving champion, Ted Harty, also known as Aqua Man, discusses how diaphragmatic breathing reduces our heart rate, calms our nervous system, increases oxygen in our blood stream, and reduces stress and anxiety.  This deep breath technique with a slower exhale is available to all of us and it's easy to do.  Ted shares some hilarious stories and talks us through the breath technique.

In episode 7, I talk about what it means to be creative. 

• Why is creativity so important?
• How do you access your creativity?
• How do you best utilize your unique creativity to improve your life. 

It takes discipline to develop creativity.  It is not this unattainable mind set only available to fine artists.  I share sure fire ways to access this seemingly elusive ability that we all have access to in our beings.  Creativity is like breathing, it is essential for living.  The more you listen and take action on your creative impulses, the more you connect to yourself and the world around you. 

Feel free to share ways that help you tune into your creativity.  Direct message me @soulcreativemedia or soulcreativemedia.com.
