The Breathing Edge with Shane and Angelina Saunders Podcast

Today’s topic of discussion is something everyone can do, but most people aren’t even aware of: the unconscious rejection of your body.It may sound strange, but we do have the ability to reject our own bodies, to some degree. When we’re disconnected, we become cranky and desensitised to our emotions and energy.By using the breath, we can begin to reconnect with our body, the flow of our energy and get back in touch with our emotions.Episode Highlights:The vagus nerve - our body’s way of telling us it’s unhappySigns of being disconnectedUsing the breath to reconnect to your bodyOur experience from breathing sessions at a festival in BaliThe mind-body connectionOur theory on why some people are more disconnected than othersLetting go so the energy can flowFree meditation to tryUseful Links:Angelina Saunders LinkedInShane Saunders LinkedInBreathe Me InstagramBreathing Edge Facebook Group  Breathe Me FacebookBreathe Me Website

Have you ever thought to yourself (or even said out aloud), "I just need more space? Give me some more space, please."You’d be a rare beast if you hadn’t. Most of us are overloaded. We’ve got too much going on in our heads and have trouble staying focused or on track.Often we might observe it in a conversation with someone else. They might be nodding their head or acknowledging you verbally but you can tell their mind is on something else. Sometimes we’ll test this by making a comment that’s totally irrelevant and seeing it they notice. Often they don’t. We’ve all been there done that!Episode Highlights:Giving yourself some breathing spaceClearing the mental cacheThe need to know more or do more is like a hamster wheel. The idea seems productive but it produces anxiety and doesn’t get you anywhereAngelina Saunders LinkedInShane Saunders LinkedInBreathe Me InstagramBreathing Edge Facebook Group  Breathe Me FacebookBreathe Me Website

There’s a topic that is big in the breathing world at the moment: circadian rhythm. Put simply, that’s your natural rhythm driven by your 24-hour internal clock that runs in the background in your brain. It’s also known as the sleep-wake cycle.When it comes to sleeping, your body has a natural cycle. Most of your regeneration programmes happen when you’re sleeping but sometimes your circadian rhythm might be out of sync.You can use your breathing to get into your rhythm, but breathing alone isn’t enough. We’ve realised the importance harmonising your natural cycles with mother nature.In this episode we cover:Sleeping and cell regenerationMitochondria in your cellsChasing the sunlight - getting up for sunrise to allow our bodies to refuelMoon cycles and why they’re important for us in generalThe significance of moon cycles for womenWinding down in the evenings - turn off white light, wear blue-blocking glasses, use candle light and red lightImproving your sleep by turning off ‘foreign’ lightBeing at one with natureAngelina Saunders LinkedInShane Saunders LinkedInBreathe Me InstagramBreathing Edge Facebook Group  Breathe Me FacebookBreathe Me Website

Today we’re talking about maintenance. We used to put off the maintenance needed for things like our cars because we were so busy with our business and personal life. Now we make it a priority, because as long as we're maintaining the car, it'll last longer. It works the same way with our bodies.Maintaining your own personal health - maintaining the ‘vehicle’ you walk around in - is key to ensuring you have the longevity and energy you need to get things done. To be a peak performer in all areas of your life.In this episode we cover:Taking time to maintain your personal health through our Virtual Breathing SpaceHow often you should practise breathing for personal maintenanceThe breathing protocols: energising, relaxing, meditatingSighs of relief throughout the dayYawning into a sore throat - releasing the pain with the breathFinding a regular breathing pattern that suits your [email protected] Angelina Saunders LinkedInShane Saunders LinkedInBreathe Me InstagramBreathing Edge Facebook Group  Breathe Me FacebookBreathe Me Website

We've been together 10 years and people often ask us, “what's your secret?” The answer is: it takes work and a lot of breathing.Humans in general are reactive, and especially so in our relationships. It’s this kind of negative behaviour that causes most riffs between partners.Another major behavioural pattern we’ve noticed in ourselves and others is showing contempt towards your partner, rather than respecting them. It could be something as simple as when you’re out with friends and your partner says something which you then call them out for, or put them down in front of people. It's that little...zing.But these common patterns are something that can be worked through by creating some space with a little breathing.Episode highlights:Interrupting the patternMoving the energy with circular breathingGive yourself permission to be humanTake a look at your relationship

Jet lag affects us all but in different ways. Whether you travel a lot or very little, and whether you travel for work or for pleasure, your body will be out of sync with your destination.We often travel across the pond to the United States, which is a long haul flight, so there’s no escaping it. Crossing multiple time zones means sleepless nights. Learning to breathe for jet lag can be a game-changer and help you better manage your energy so in this podcast we share our tips to help make the process a little easier.Episode highlights:The science behind jet lagLearning to sync your body clock to the rising sunThe benefits of fasting during a flightThe importance of staying hydratedHow essential oils can help keep you hydratedLimiting the amount of blue lightWearing blue-blocking glassesBoosting your immune systemFinding natural light once you’ve landedBreathing through jet lagAngelina Saunders LinkedInShane Saunders LinkedInBreathe Me InstagramBreathing Edge Facebook Group  Breathe Me FacebookBreathe Me Website

What do you do when the outside world is super intense and demanding? And how do you calm your own internal voice so you can actually stop and rest?In this episode, we talk about:What is innergy?Intensity and pressures we face in the outside worldWhy Angie used to hate meditatingThe benefits of making space for stillness and quietHow you can go inward to move from a state of intensity to inner calmHaving permission to do nothingUseful [email protected] https://breatheme.com/ https://www.facebook.com/breathemepage/https://www.facebook.com/groups/breathingedge/https://www.instagram.com/breathemepage/https://www.linkedin.com/in/shane-saunders-54a06441/https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelina-saunders-0a37706/

One of the breathing benefits we talk about that raises a lot of eyebrows is an improved financial situation.A connection between breathing and money may seem like a bit of a stretch, but today we’re going to share a real life situation where breathing helped us on a financial journey that many would have struggled with. We’re not saying it was easy by any means, but without the breathing skills we have, we seriously doubt that we could have pulled it off.It started with us using $100,000 of other people’s money to secure a 5 million dollar commercial property that we renovated and resold for roughly 7 million dollars. It’s the boldest investment transaction we’ve initiated so the story is more about the energy and emotion of the transaction rather than the value of it.Episode Highlights:It’s all energyThe shopping centreBreathe and relaxThree Lessons on How to Lower Stress NaturallyThree minutes of circular breathingClosing the dealUseful [email protected] https://breatheme.com/ https://www.facebook.com/breathemepage/https://www.facebook.com/groups/breathingedge/https://www.instagram.com/breathemepage/https://www.linkedin.com/in/shane-saunders-54a06441/https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelina-saunders-0a37706/

Cleansing, flushing and fasting are all hot topics right now. We are often asked, "How long should I fast for?" Or "What sort of cleanse should I do?" There's never one answer.That's not something most people want to hear because they want a one-stop-shop for feeling better, but there are many different remedies and they all work in their own way.We all have a rhythm and when you learn to move with your own rhythm, you’ll begin to feel the benefits.Episode Highlights:Cleanse with the seasonsListen to your body and flush out the painCleanse to performA beginner’s guide to fastingThree brains are better than oneUseful [email protected] https://breatheme.com/ https://www.facebook.com/breathemepage/https://www.facebook.com/groups/breathingedge/https://www.instagram.com/breathemepage/https://www.linkedin.com/in/shane-saunders-54a06441/https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelina-saunders-0a37706/
