The Breathing Edge with Shane and Angelina Saunders Podcast

Breathing may seem like a simple concept, but we’ve noticed a lot of abnormalities during our own and other people’s breathing sessions. It’s weird, but it’s also wonderful and we can learn a lot about ourselves and how the breath can be used to express our energy, thoughts and feelings.By learning to take control, we can shift our energy and perspective and we can begin to breathe as a behaviour.Episode Highlights:Expressing yourself through breathingDon’t go with the flow, find your ownTaking back the controlForging a new path through breathing sessionsBreathe it in and let it goUseful Links https://breatheme.com/breathing-for-children/ https://expertsonair.fm/breathing-for-children/ [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/https://breatheme.com/breathing-sessions-change-habits/

Dan Brulé has been taking the breath seriously for a long time. Since the early 1970’s in fact. In that time he’s shared his craft with more than 150,000 people in over sixty countries. We’re blessed to count ourselves among that number and to have worked with Dan closely in recent years as we’ve learnt the craft of breath mastery ourselves.We haven’t just learned from him though. We’ve also partnered with him on projects and and proud to be bringing to Australia for the second time, in October 2018 for a national tour. We’ll be doing full day workshops in Melbourne and the Gold Coast and will wrap the tour up with a three day accreditation program in the Gold Coast. We jumped on a short call with him to download a bit of pre-tour wisdom for our listeners and readers. Whether you’re just curious about breathing or are a hard-core breath enthusiast we’re sure you’ll find Dan’s journey both interesting and enlightening.And if a week’s holiday in The Bahamas is something that appeals to you, you’ll find this interesting for sure!Here’s what we covered during the interview:People literally come alive when they learn advanced breathing techniquesThere are different styles of breathing to explore to expand your experienceSticking to one style of breathing - rebirthing, sports and fitness, etc - limits your repertoireNew breakthroughs are happening in breathing at all levels, in science, medicine, and spiritualityBeing able to manage your emotional and mental states for professional purposes, is business and sports, is drawing people to learn more about breathingHow breath mastery is enabling professionals to connect more intuitively with their teams, their audiences and their stakeholdersLeaders that breathe with their teams, bond with their teamsBreathing is the key to developing group flowConscious breathers perform higher than average in all walks of lifeConscious breathers are better able to centre themselves in difficult situationsPracticing breathing techniques with a coach produces better resultsLearning to ‘relax into intensity’ is an advantage conscious breathers have over unconscious or automatic breathersThere's no substitute for inner workAll ancient arts of mastery, including yoga, Chi Gung and other martial arts and such modalities include controlled breathing as a key part of the techniqueExpanded consciousness is a natural byproduct of advanced breathing practicesThe breath awakens the intelligence of the body and the mind and allows for heightened experiencesDan has seen several ‘waves’ of interest in breathing since the 1970s. This current one is the biggest…Those who don’t embrace breath work will be left behindDan has had an intense twelve months since his visit to Australia last October, visiting 9 countries and holding several trainings in each countryRelaxation is key to accessing more personal energyDan has been working with Tony Robbins and helps him with relaxation and energy generationTony has mastered relaxation to the point where with one or two breaths he can attain a relaxation state comparable to week’s holiday in The BahamasRelaxation also brings grace to whatever it is that you doRelaxation through breathing can be like your own personal reboot toolYou can recover your health, you can recover your money, you can find new friends, but time is precious and you'd better make the use of it we can.There is always more to learn with breathing practices. You will experience plateaus as you progress but the more you ‘lean in’ the more profound the benefits you will experience.Just as the first four-minute mile opened up possibilities, the experiences of breath masters now are opening up possibilities for othersSo that's my focus these days, on making the use of just a few breaths. If you get the quality of it, you get the basics of it down, phew the things we can accomplish. It's exciting me, I'll tell you.Useful LinksDan Brulé’s websiteDan’s tour to Australia in

Knowing what we know now about breathing, we can only begin to imagine how different life would have been if we’d picked up breathing skills much earlier on in life.Fortunately, our children, currently aged 8 and 5, won’t have to wonder for themselves. They’re both well and truly integrating breathing practices into their daily habits and strategies. And enthusiastically too we might add. Here’s what we’ve learned on our journey.Episode Highlights:Show Don’t Tell - Children are just like the rest of us.

Our bodies are shifting energy all the time.Anxiety, for example, has an energy to it. As does calm. In shifting from one to the other our energy state will change.And on a purely physical level, we can go from energised to tired, back to energised again, then to exhausted, get refreshed a little, and so on... Episode Highlights:The ups and downs of breathingGood things comes in threesIt’s time to shape upStop adrenalising your body with caffeine or sugar. Energise it instead with the breath.Feeling down? Maybe you need to use your ‘up’ lever a little more. This will shift your energy and your state Useful Links:[email protected] Angelina Saunders LinkedInShane Saunders LinkedInBreathe Me InstagramBreathing Edge Facebook Group  Breathe Me FacebookBreathe Me Website

Even health experts need help learning to breathe for maximum performance. We recorded this episode with Laurence Tham right after we’d led a group of his clients, all professional chiropractors, through a facilitated breathing experience.Through his business, Drive Your Practice, Laurence supports chiropractors to ‘adjust, align, and amplify’ themselves with their businesses and their business with their customers.Even if you aren’t a chiropractor yourself, much of what Laurence has to say will resonate with you, especially if you are in business for yourself. He covers some principles that are pretty universal.In this episode Laurence shares with us:Why he ‘forces’ his clients to travel to retreats he holds around the world each yearThe value of planning and executing business projects in 90 day sprintsHis three step Alignment - Adjustment - Amplification framework for helping business ownersHow breathing can help chiropractors in their practice, and life in generalWhy he left his successful practice and never returnedHow he is able to ‘touch’ people today now that he doesn’t have a practiceHow podcasts became a gateway to grow his communityWhy he does minimal advertising and marketingWhy he chooses to be optimistic about the future for his childrenHow being a role model is critical in his relationship with his childrenHis insatiable appetite for learning and how that led him to stop doing his podcastWhat he considers to be more important than strategyThe different experiences his clients had from the breathing sessionHow time stood still for him while he was in the breathing session himselfWhy he’s excited about a regular 3 minute breathing practiceWhy he thinks breath work is ‘awesome’Listen or watch below or read a transcript of the interview here. [email protected] Angelina Saunders LinkedInShane Saunders LinkedInBreathe Me InstagramBreathing Edge Facebook Group  Breathe Me FacebookBreathe Me Website https://www.linkedin.com/in/drlaurencetham/http://driveyourpractice.com https://www.facebook.com/laurence.tham

Syncing the mind-body system is a core element of everything we do at Breathe Me and here on The Breathing Edge podcast. In this post and podcast episode, you’ll find out what syncing the mind-body system is, and even how it plays a role in creating self-confidence and eliminating self-doubt.Eastern philosophy divides the mind and body into the chakra system, which identifies seven to twelve areas or zones within the body. We like to keep things simple though, so we focus only on the most crucial elements, the head, the heart and the gut. Episode Highlights: Its claimed gut contains an actual brain, roughly the size of a cat’s brain, while the heart contains cells that are the same type of cells found in the ‘normal’ brain.How the brains, the mind and the body tie together.The vagus nerve is a key component of this connection.When you recognise and become aware of these other brain resources in the body, you start to understand what involvement they have in syncing your entire body-mind system.Visualisation and Breathing to Sync the Mind-BodyIncreasing Energy in the [email protected] Angelina Saunders LinkedInShane Saunders LinkedInBreathe Me InstagramBreathing Edge Facebook Group  Breathe Me FacebookBreathe Me Website

Breathing is the most crucial part of your body. It is the only mechanism that is both conscious and unconscious.So, what is the difference between breathing automatically or flipping the switch into manual? There's a mechanical aspect to it, but also a cellular aspect as well as a mental, emotional and mind-body system aspect. Angelina and Shane will introduce you to manual controlled breathing with an easy to follow process called the Power of Three or P3.In this podcast, you’ll learn the difference between automatically and manually breathing and the  benefits, including how to boost your energy, create a sense of space from within and to harmonise all systems in the body through a guided breathing experience.Let’s do this!!Angelina Saunders LinkedInShane Saunders LinkedInBreathe Me InstagramBreathing Edge Facebook Group  Breathe Me FacebookBreathe Me WebsiteGet in touch

As humans, we’re programed to be habitual in order to keep us safe, but through this, we form patterns in all areas of our lives.Creating high-quality habits in your life increases confidence and satisfaction while harmonising the body and mind. Plus, they allow you to access the unconscious part of the mind which, will enable you to start repatterning the current patterns you have. So, what are your habits?In this podcast, we discuss how to identify high-quality habits that are serving you and low-quality habits that are not. No prizes for guessing what the ultimate high-quality habit is...Angelina Saunders LinkedInShane Saunders LinkedInBreathe Me InstagramBreathing Edge Facebook Group  Breathe Me FacebookBreathe Me WebsiteGet in touch
