Transformational Breath is by far the best breathing technique I’ve ever experienced, giving benefits on all levels; physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

It’s like taking your breath to the gym.

And the first step is you have to learn full diaphragmatic breathing. This should be taught in primary school. But it isn’t! You should know that most people living in our modern world only use 20-30% of their lung capacity.

TB changes that and a lot more besides!

In 2015 in France, so far there are only 2 facilitators in TB. I am one of them and my friend Joel Jego is the other one. If you’re interested, feel free to contact us.

The call to action often is a mixture between internal stirrings and “the call” finding us. There are lots of clues in our life story. The trick is putting them together, finding “the thread” that can bring all “the beads” of our life experience together. Rather like the character in “Slumdog Millionaire”, it may take a competition or a dramatic moment to bring it all out. The root of the word education by the way is “educare” which means to draw out. So educating should be more about drawing out of ourselves a core meaning rather than presenting to our minds endless streams of new information. In my experience this is always an on-going experience but it will need you to take decisions. It might well need you to answer the question “How can I best serve?” When I asked this question, the answer I got back was one word “Water”.

“Water, the stuff of life and a basic human right, is at the heart of a daily crisis faced by countless millions of the world’s most vulnerable people—a crisis that threatens life and destroys livelihoods on a devastating scale. Unlike wars and natural disasters, the global crisis in water does not make media headlines. Nor does it galvanize concerted international action. Like hunger, deprivation in access to water is a silent crisis experienced by the poor and tolerated by those with the resources, the technology and the political power to end it. Yet this is a crisis that is holding back human progress, consigning large segments of humanity to lives of poverty, vulnerability and insecurity. This crisis claims more lives through disease than any war claims through guns. It also reinforces the obscene inequalities in life chances that divide rich and poor nations in an increasingly prosperous and interconnected world and that divide people within countries on the basis of wealth, gender and other markers for disadvantage. Overcoming the crisis in water and sanitation is one of the great human development challenges of the early 21st century.

This is why I believe so much in coaching as a principle vector of empowerment. I have been coaching communication and presentation techniques to corporate leaders for many years and now I coach presence and breathing in my spare time to friends and family because I know how much difference it makes knowing the right information and having the right strategies in life. It’s the syndrome of the fly beating itself to death against the glass pane trying to get out into the garden again. I have known the pain of that fly and also the tremendous release when I was shown how to open the window and fly out towards freedom. Of course, in real life it’s a little more complicated. Often people have to be shown that they have wings and that they can fly before you can start talking to them about window panes and gardens. That’s the great thing about coaching it always takes into account the individual person’s situation. It starts with who they are and their talents or as David Ricardo said in his famous argument with the Pope of Scarcity Thomas Malthus – “Find your competitive advantage and focus upon it!”

I prefer to look at it like this. When I’m creative, life seems abundant; when I’m worried or fearful, life seems scarce!

But life is fundamentally creative n’est ce pas? The grass keeps growing. It doesn’t matter how many times you cut it down, it keeps on growing. Nature is an incredibly abundant enterprise. It’s a success machine that knows no failure, it keeps on expanding no matter what. We can either learn from that or chose to adopt another mindset. We have an infinity of resources all around us OR not. YOU decide. It’s your choice. Tap into your creativity and you will find a solution, an abundance of answers awaits you OR you decide that life is scarce and the universe is not very friendly and all of a sudden the multitude dwindles to nothing and rich becomes poor and the creative principle (the fundament of life) is curiously gone missing. YOU decide.
